A contemporary, semi-detached holiday home, with a traditional Norfolk brick and flint exterior, this comfortable seaside abode could be the perfect place for a family stay in Wells-next-the-Sea. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom cottage offers all the benefits of a bucket and spade holiday, with fish and chip shops, ice cream parlours, cafes and shops within 100 metres and the spectacular beach approximately 1 mile out of town. Swim, picnic and play on the sand here or at Holkham Beach, 2.5 miles away, which is also known for its stunning scenery. Strike out along a section of the Norfolk Coast Path, walking to Blakeney, 7.5 miles away. Stroll along the sandy point here or take a boat trip to see the seals.

Open the front door to this handsome holiday home, leaving your beach shoes or walking boots by the door and wander into the lounge. Recline on the soft seating here in front of your favourite show on the TV or open the garden door to amble outside. Make your way through to the kitchen/diner when it is time to eat and find you have everything you need to help you whip up delicious meals with your local ingredients. There is also a dishwasher, plus a washer/dryer for your beach gear. Also downstairs is a WC. Head up to the first floor to your bedrooms, a double and a twin, as well as the family bathroom.

Have your morning coffee out in the courtyard garden and choose whether to dine outside too. This sunny space is enclosed on two sides by characterful brick and flint and redbrick walls.

Good location, homely cottage. It felt generally clean but when you looked a little closer there were issues. Outside area entirely neglected sadly, which was a real shame. Overall we enjoyed our stay as we're easy going as a family but we do feel improvements and updates should be made to reflect value for money.

Could not fault the cottage. Lovely design everything you could need. Warm and cosy. Centrally located. Only gripe would be the quilt was very warm for summer. Would return if holidaying in Wells again.

Don't like how you charge a booking fee. !! First impression of property on arrival wasnt good. Debris on outer widow sills and on the front of the premises. Appreciate there are trees around however it could have been swept up before arrival.Front door dirty. Threshold over door way grubby. Bird poo & cob webs on windows. Car park and yard nRead moreeeds attention with weeds growing. 2nd slab out of back door is a trip hazard. Thresholds over all doors on the back are full of muck. Patio picnic table is too grubby to eat off. Knives need replacing. Very very blunt. Did try to sharpen with sharpening tool, but even that is worn. Need to change bedding to season. 13.5 tog quilt we had on our bed. Bed pillows need replacing. Fan would be nice. Fridge Ice box needs de frosting. Top oven needs a deep clean. Both toilet brushes need replacing. Wasn't very nice. Bathroom needs a toilet roll holder on the wall. Clearer instructions needed to operate oven, washing machine and shower would be a good idea. Also instructions on what is allowed in recycling bin as nothing in the info book. Also which bins are for Boatyard would be good to know. A washing line would also be a bonus although there is a foldi g dryer, but not brilliant when you have a load to dry. Positives... Great location. Good access for parking when inconsiderate locals don't park opposite entrance. Hide
