This cottage is lovely. The position is ideal, just a short walk to the harbour or through the alley to the shops. The cottage is clean, well maintained and very comfortable.

Location is great and right by the Quay and shops. Has all the amenities you would need from a self catering cottage. Road is busy during the day but generally quiet at night even on a bank holiday weekend. Having a parking space is great and we managed to park fine with an SUV type car.

A really cosy cottage in the centre of Wells-next-the-Sea. An ideal location for winter birdwatching and walking. A perfect place to come home to after a cold day out on the saltmarsh. And the snowdrops at Walsingham were as wonderful as ever. It was our fifth visit and won't be the last. Thank you

Clean, well-equipped and comfy cottage in an excellent location for sampling the many delights of Wells and surroundings. Great to have off-road parking but NB this would be very tight for a large car.

Great cottage, with everything you need and very handy for pubs, restaurants shops etc. We were there over a bank holiday weekend, but it was still very quiet in the cottage.

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.
