About this property
Enjoy a perfect family holiday by the sea; try crabbing on the quay, or seal spotting from the soft sandy beaches where every day can be an adventure!
Explore the beautiful Norfolk coastline with ease from this seaside retreat in Wells-next-the-Sea. This four-bedroom period property features beamed ceilings, a roaring wood burner, and an original bread oven. Set over three storeys, it is ideal for families, groups of friends or two families together, and can comfortably accommodate up to six adults and two children. Enjoy crabbing on the quay or strolling along the sandy beach, only 1 mile away.
Kick off your shoes in the small lobby and enter the beamed lounge where you can curl up on one of the sofas in front of the wood burner, housed in the characterful inglenook fireplace, and watch a film on the Smart TV. When it's time to cook dinner, you'll have plenty of space in the well-equipped kitchen/dining room; take a seat at the large dining table and admire the decorative old bread oven as you tuck into your home-cooked feasts. On the first floor, you’ll find the family bathroom, as well as a double bedroom, a twin, and a bedroom with one child’s bed and one toddler’s bed. The final bedroom is up a set of steep, cottage-style stairs on the second floor and features a double bed beneath, low sloping ceilings. On sunny days, pour a glass of something chilled and head outside to make the most of the lovely courtyard garden.
Wells-next-the-Sea is a wonderful town to explore, with plenty of shops, eateries and attractions all within 300 metres of the cottage. The harbour and quay are also within easy reach, perfect for crabbing. Or take a 1-mile walk to the sandy beach and embark on a seaside adventure. The Norfolk Coast Path runs through the town if you fancy a longer hike. The property is also situated 2 miles from the magnificent Holkham Hall, an 18th-century estate rich in history and wildlife.

This was a lovely cottage with some great touches. The equipment was top notch, particularly the oven. It was very comfortable, welcoming and perfectly placed to access the local attractions; far enough from the centre to be lovely and quiet on a Bank Holiday weekend. There was very clear guidance prior to the stay with great parking when there.
