A traditional, seaside cottage, this enticing retreat could be perfect for a small family eager for a coastal break or two couples planning a getaway together. Sleeping four guests, and also welcoming a couple of contented canines, this delightful, period abode sits right at the heart of colourful Wells-next-the-Sea and has been finished to offer great comfort as well as character. Wander out to find an abundance of eateries and independent shops or stroll down to the quay, less than 50 metres away, to go crabbing and have fish and chips. Pack a beach bag and venture 1 mile down to picturesque Wells Beach with its stretching sands, where your four-legged friends can join you in certain areas throughout the year.

Make your way up two steps and in through the front door of this charming retreat. The heart of the holiday home is its open-plan lounge/diner, where you can take some time out after your busy days exploring North Norfolk, perhaps switching on the Smart TV and lighting the wood burner during the colder months. Wander through to the kitchen to prepare homecooked meals with the fresh produce you have bought in Wells, then serve it up at the table in the lounge/diner. You have a useful washing machine in an outbuilding. As night falls, climb the steep, winding, cottage-style stairs up to the first or second floor, each with a king-size bedroom that can also be made up as 2’ 6” twin beds if requested in advance. Find a family bathroom at the first-floor level, while a family shower room is on the second floor.

Take in the sea air out in the courtyard whenever the weather permits. Dine at the table out here on occasion. This is where the outbuilding is located with storage and the washing machine.

  • 2 bedrooms – 2 king-size with zip-and-link beds that can also be made up as 2’ 6” twin beds if requested in advance
  • 2 bathrooms – 1 family bathroom with shower over the bath and WC, and 1 family shower room with shower cubicle and WC

Excellent stay, brilliant location. Stairs are steep so keep that in mind. Parking can be an issue but can be sorted out with carefully structured between on street and car park.

We really enjoyed our stay and is very close to all the amenities with a lovely walk to the coast too. I would not recommend to anyone with poor balance as the staircase is very steep.

This cottage is just beautiful, local restaurants Bang in Wells and the Wells Crab House are amazing. If you want an extra special evening The Victoria inn is very classy. We had the most amazing week in this cottage, right in the middle of the Main Street with shops located either side, its the perfect location. Very comfortable with all amenitiesRead more provided for us. Highly recommend Thursford Christmas Extravaganza, seal spotting at Blakeney Point and the Sandringham Christmas market! Some terrible weather kept us in but the cottage was so comfy and homely we really didnt mind just relaxing in the warm. We will definitely be back next year Hide
