WELLS - NEXT - THE - SEA, NORTH NORFOLK

Wells-next-the-Sea offers sweeping sandy beaches fringed with colourful beach huts and shady pine woods. The harbour has a small working fishing fleet, families can enjoy boat trips and crabbing (gillying) from the quayside.

This area of Norfolk is wonderful for birdwatching, take a dawn or sunset stroll along the coastal footpath with views over the salt marshes.

There is an excellent visitor information centre at the Wells Maltings with details of places of interests and family activities in the surrounding area, events at Holkham Hall and Pensthorpe Natural Park. Cycle hire, including electric cycles, is available.

Wells has a varied selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants, with lots of picnic goodies at the bakers and deli’s. Temptations include freshly caught seafood, fish and chips, locally made ice-cream and Whin Hill Cider from the traditional ciderworks.

Walk from Wells along the beach or through the Pine Woods to Holkham Bay, there are refreshments and facilities at Wells and Holkham beach car parks, and at Holkham Hall. This is a lovely walk, if you want to shorten it catch the Coast Hopper bus for your return trip.



The Cottage

According to a local historian the cottage is one of the oldest properties in Wells, pre-dating 1586. The building used to be an Inn called 'The Grapes'. It is centrally located just a few steps from the bakers for your morning croissant or bacon butty! The quayside is a short walk away.

The cottage is full of character with a cosy wood-burner, timber beams, window seats, handmade kitchen and other handmade furniture. To the rear there is a small paved area for sitting outside.

We often park for free on the street in Bolts Close a short walk away.

Perfect stay in heart of Wells

By Helen Rose on 26-May-2024

We absolutely loved Heidi's home. The house is in a perfect location right in the middle of Wells so we could walk to the quayside for some crabbing with the kids and nip to the bakers (metres from the front door!) for morning pastries - heaven! Beautifully decorated, fully equipped, bunk beds that our girls really enjoyed and super clear communication throughout. Thank you for a fab stay Heidi.

Lovely cottage, well modernised, lovely warm feeling

A gem in the heart of Wells

By Nikki on 02-Jun-2023

We’ve just come back from a long weekend in this beautiful, well placed cottage. We are a family of 2 adults and 3 children ages 12, 9 and 9. It was more than spacious for us, very clean and comfortable. We were able to park on the street right next to the cottage. We booked last minute (the day before) and the host came back to us straight away. There was also a lovely welcome pack when we arrived. I would definitely recommend this cottage and we will return. Thank you.

An excellent place to stay.

By Ruth Trinidad on 28-May-2023

We had a great stay in Wells on sea, the property was a great location in the heart of the town, clean and tidy, beautifully decorated with a lovely coastal theme throughout. The children loved the free standing bath because it was very large and deep, great for bubbles! We really enjoyed our stay. Heidi was extremely helpful and answered any questions very quickly and provided a lot of helpful information of things to do and places to eat in the area. We also enjoyed the complimentary biscuits and wine. We hope to come again soon. You will really enjoy your stay at this beautiful cottage.

Thank you for your review Ruth, I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay. Hopefully the weather will be a bit warmer for the beach next time!

Really lovely cottage in the heart of Wells

By Jen Cambridge on 29-Jul-2022

We were so pleased to have found this cottage. Heidi was a really responsive owner and made things really easy for us. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay in Wells, was spotlessly clean and is in a great location. Highly recommended!

First Class in every way!

By Nikki Taylor on 28-May-2022

We have just returned from a fabulous 4 night stay. The cottage is fantastic, spotlessly clean and tidy and beautifully decorated. Equipped with everything you need, fresh clean bedding and super comfy beds. The cottage is in prime location, within footsteps from a quirky high street, great bakers and butchers. Walking distance to the quay, beach, restaurants and pubs. We honestly could not fault a thing. The owners are so lovely, nothing has been to much trouble and we were even greeted with a delicious bottle of red. Thank you so much, we feel like we’ve found a little piece of happiness and will most definitely be back soon!
