Wells-next-the-Sea is a popular town on the Norfolk Coast. Enjoy a spot of crabbing by the picturesque harbour and with fresh shellfish available you can enjoy the catch of the day or Fish and Chips on the Quay. Take a stroll to the beach along the harbour footpath or hop aboard the narrow-gauge steam railway where you’re rewarded with views of colourful beach huts decorating the vast sands elevated against a woodland backdrop. From the Buttlands to the Quay you'll find plenty of local pubs and restaurants to savour as well as delicatessens, butchers, fishmonger and boutique shops, which can be found nestled amongst the pretty lanes. With so many wonderful places to visit nearby why not take a short drive to the current home of the Earl of Leicester, Holkham Hall, which hosts numerous events throughout the year. Holkham beach can be reached along the shoreline from Wells-next-the-Sea and is the chosen beach of the ‘Household Cavalry’ who can be seen galloping along whilst taking a well-earned break in the summer. The unspoiled coastal scenery surrounding Wells-next-the-Sea are a haven for walkers, cyclists, bird/wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, sailors and anglers. Take seal watching boat trips or explore on hired cycles with ‘On Yer Bike’ cycle hire close-by. Other delights nearby are Burnham Market and its sister villages, Brancaster, Blakeney, Cley-next-the-Sea and the Georgian town of Holt to name just a few.

The property is in perfect walking distance from all local amenities, pubs and restaurants, there are lots of walks nearby and there is a very good bus service. It is a very cute property and has everything you need. The parking is a bit awkward, anything bigger than a medium sized car might struggle, however there is parking close by if needed.

Lovely cosy cottage in convenient location. Parking a little tight for a big car but ok for us. Really comfortable bed, plenty of storage space upstairs. Stairs a little tricky and low beam near door, just be aware. Very nice welcome pack. Would recommend purchasing 15 guest membership for two at War Memorial Club on first night for excellent faciRead morelities and very cheap drinks. Eat at Bowling Green and Golden Fleece. Hide

The cottage was very comfortable and cosy in a perfect position. Close to shops, pubs and restaurants and most of all near the quay and the wonderful Holkombe beach. Plenty of great walks near by. Wells is one of my favourite spots so will definitely use the cottage again. Thank you also for goodies -very much appreciated.x

A hidden gem of Wells! Lovely, homely little cottage that had everything we needed and was just a small walk away from the harbour and shops. The garden was a perfect place to sit in the sunshine. It had great character and had everything we needed including a lovely welcome pack. Already planning when we can stay here again!

A nice character cottage in a quiet yet convenient location. The parking spage was tight for a medium size hatchback, a longer vehicle won't fit. We really enjoyed our stay, great ice cream and fish and chips available within walking distance.

A beautiful cottage full of character and lovely paintings . Very well equipped and comfortable beds. The stairs are quite steep but have plenty of handrails to help. The garden is beautiful too. I felt really at home . The location was excellent too only a short walk to the harbour and town. Definitely like to come back .
