There is plenty to occupy visitors throughout the year whether crabbing on the quayside whilst taking in the sights of the sailing boats or hop aboard the small gauge railway and enjoy making sandcastles on the soft sandy beaches with colourful beach huts and a backdrop of woodland pines. Pop into the beach cafe and warm your toes by the woodburner with your four-legged friend, the cafe is open year-round perfect for hot chocolate and cake in the winter. Set in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are plenty of popular sights to discover, take a short trip along the coast road to nearby Holkham Hall with your little ones and discover the adventure playground, woodland walks and walled gardens. A variety of events are held here every year with candle-lit tours of the impressive marble hall at Christmas-time. The area is ideal for walking or birdwatching and there is a vintage steam train that will take you the 5 miles to the pretty village of Walsingham. The National Trust at Blakeney Nature Reserve is just five miles away, and the traditional seaside town of Cromer with Victorian pier is 20 miles away.

Reviews

We absolutely loved our four-night stay at The Old Sweet Shop with our toddler! The cottage has been beautifully restored, has a great location, and is full of everything you need.

Miss R,

very quirky cottage in a good location close to all amenities.

Mrs L,

A beautiful house in the heart of Wells. Restaurants and shops abound within minutes, and everything the North Norfolk coast offers is a short drive or bus journey away. People over about 5 foot 6 will need to take care upstairs, but the house is comfortably furnished throughout. The kitchen is small, but kitted out with everything you need, but there are so many great restaurants in the neighbourhood you may not bother.

Mr H,

A lovely property, full of character, in a very pleasant part of Wells. Would definitely recommend it.

Mrs H,

Great cottage in a lovely position, well provided meant for a great holiday

Mr W,

A superbly presented cottage that has been sympatheticly restored. We would definitely come back.

Mr S,

Recommended, the cottage is very comfortable and well situated within short walking distance of local pubs and the seafront.

Mr G,

Excellent location for shopping, eating sightseeing. Very comfortable beds too!

Dr B,

A lovely quaint old cottage, thoughtfully restored. Plenty of crockery and glasses. Very convenient for local shops and amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay and would not hesitate to return.

Mrs L,

We loved it, very homely and comfortable. Boys loved that it was an old sweet shop and were trying to find some that had been left! Also really enjoyed Monopoly with 7 year old
