Lovely house in a very central location in Wells next the Sea. Bedrooms are spacious and comfy. Nice that two of the rooms have en-suite. Downstairs loo brilliant for little ones and the large entrance porch is great as a boot room to leave coats, shoes and beach stuff. This is our second stay here and the house is still good for larger and extended families.

The house exceeded our expectations. We loved the position, so near to the quay and yet not far from town either. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and the superb entrance lobby was so useful. All beds were exceedingly comfortable and bedrooms spacious. The garden was fairly private with a useful table and chairs for eating. The car parking was comfortable for two cars, we didn’t try 3 but it might have been tight. My main concern was the very steep step from the lounge patio door into the garden - would have given 5* had this have got an interim step. Young children or elderly people could find this steep drop a hazard to beware of. All in all, this is an excellent holiday home, great value and we would happily consider rebooking if it were available.
