Wells-next-the-Sea is a charming, traditional seaside town on the North Norfolk coast. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty, with beautiful sandy beaches framed by pine trees. A visit to Wells wouldn’t be complete without a spot of crabbing on the quayside or just watch the world go by whilst sampling the best of fish and chips at French's. There are great local pubs and places to eat including The Crown Inn and The Globe a short walk from the Quay and facing the tree-lined green. Wells has a beautiful sandy beach with a pinewood backdrop along with sand dunes and colourful beach huts. Popular with all ages the  beach can be reached by the miniature steam train from the harbour. Alternatively take a walk along the Quay to the beach and visit the dog and family-friendly beach cafe taking in the views of the sailing boats and active fishing fleet. Dog lovers may enjoy a slightly longer stroll and continue along the soft sands along to Holkham beach; simply stunning in all seasons.

Cottsge was warm and spacious. Comfortable space to live in plus small garden area which was pretty. Good location and parking space good. However the cottage is directly opposite British Legion and there was often noisy people drinking outside, they did leave at 11pm but I found it irritating hearing them.

Would definitely recommend Hideaway Barn. The cottage was lovely, had everything we needed and the location was perfect. So near to some lovely shops, pubs and restaurants. The parking space was also a bonus. The cottage and the area is very dog friendly so was perfect for us. Will hopefully be back another time.

Great location, but equipment and furnishings need improvement and/or updating. The cottage gets very hot when the weather is hot and no fans are provided.

This cottage is in a great location for exploring Wells and the surrounding area. Parking spot an added bonus but challenging if the other spot is in use. In general I would highly recommend it, very spacious and clean. The private garden is very useful and secure for our little dogs!

We had a very comfortable stay at the Hideaway Barn. We love Wells-Next-The-Sea, and the cottages location was great; so close to harbour, shops, art galleries, theatre, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Great local walks too. The welcome gifts were very much appreciated.

The place was great, has everything you need, clean and tidy, nice bit of outdoor space, and a parking space. Open plan layout is great for family time together. The location is brilliant, literally a stones throw from the harbour, and walking distance of a few minutes to most pubs and restaurants. We would definitely stay again.
