Overview
Property code: OC-NCCOB

"We stayed here as a group of friends celebrating my 50th birthday. We had an amazing time and loved the house, the plush sofas and the bar ! Loved the way we could sit comfortably together to eat and in the evening too. The house was very clean and the location is fantastic for the harbour. Thank you" - Anna Malpas-Sands

This fabulous property, situated in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea and just 1.5 miles from the beach, is the perfect holiday home for big family gatherings or friends’ reunions. Sleeping 16 guests over eight colourful bedrooms, this bright and beautiful three-storey house offers an unforgettable stay to everyone. Spend the day at the beach, shopping in the eclectic variety of independent shops or sampling the food and drink at the many pubs and restaurants in town before heading back to soak up the last of the sun in the garden with an al fresco drink.

This property, which can be booked alongside another cottage on the grounds, is teeming with style and sophistication with bold and bright colours making every room unique. Cook up a storm in the kitchen and dine in the huge dining room before retiring to the sunroom bar; fun pinks and dark tones create a fantastic party atmosphere. The large lounge is filled with light thanks to the bay window and has a cosy atmosphere with a gorgeous feature fireplace that’s surrounded by bold sofas. With bedrooms spread across all three floors, all but one having an en-suite shower room, there’s enough space for everyone to unwind. The ground floor houses two bedrooms, the first floor has four bedrooms and the family bathroom, and the second floor boasts the final two bedrooms. Outside, there’s an enclosed landscaped garden with a lawn, a patio and a huge outdoor table with seats for all.

When you’ve explored Wells’ beach, head just further along to Holkham Beach (3 miles); backed by a nature reserve, there is plenty to see around here. Move inland to Holkham Hall where the grown-ups will enjoy the rich history and the children will go wild in the adventure playgrounds. You must visit Blakeney Point (5.5 miles) to try to catch a glimpse of seals; you could book a trip with Bishop’s Boats Seal Trips (8 miles) where they almost guarantee you’ll see them! Pensthorpe Nature Reserve (11.5 miles) offers a wonderful family day out, as does ROARR! Dinosaur Adventure (25 miles).

A very comfortable house with plenty of seating for our large group. Having so many bathrooms, most en suite, was a real bonus. A super position in Wells just a short walk to the shops, with a supermarket in the other direction. Also plenty of parking!

Good house for 14 people. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which works well. The outside room is very small and only suited to single occupancy. Wells has good pubs and interesting works. Good place to spend a weekend.

This was a good house for another of our regular gatherings. It was very clean and tidy and generally well equipped. It needs a few more saucepans, small glass tumblers and better mugs and the dishwasher needs updating. The welcome pack was not as useful or as generous as we usually receive! The bedroom outside is far too small for a couple - two aRead moredults would struggle to sleep comfortably and we found it rather claustrophobic - fortunately we didn't need to use it. The two smaller bedrooms inside the house would be better if they each had just one single bed in each room for an adult or smaller beds for small young children. The one on the first floor had almost no space to get out of the bed. The description should make clear that we were sharing the drive and parking with the neighbouring Cobblers Cottage. The wide angle photograph does give the impression that the back garden is much larger than it is - but we enjoyed sitting outside for tea when we returned from our day of walking. We were rather stunned by the tone of some of the communications which didn't reflect that we were valued customers - we've never experienced this before and centred around the departure time of 9am plus asking us to strip the beds! This was acceptable throughout covid, but isn't any longer. We rent 3 holiday cottages a year and no other company or cottage owner has imposed these requirements now. We were firmly told not to even ask if we might arrive a little earlier or depart later! However the manual at the house stated 10am departure so when I rang your company to clarify and spoke to a very helpful member of your team - Katrina, she was able to confirm we could depart at 10 am on this occasion and the manual will be updated to 9am! We did strip the beds - but in sympathy for the housekeeper - she cleans this house alone and it takes her 10 hours. The owners should have two people cleaning and provide better services to their customers who pay quite a bit to rent this house! Hide

This property is the perfect group/family/friends get away. Spacious, homely, close to all amenities, plenty of parking space, its just perfect. There are all the pots, pans and utensils in the kitchen to enable you to cook whatever you need. We cooked a Christmas dinner for 14 and had plenty of equipment to do this. There's plenty of space for eRead moreveryone to go off and have theyre own space either in the downstairs living area or up in your spacious bedrooms. We have been twice for a Christmas family get together now and its just perfect, the towns magical at this time of year. We might well make it a hat trick and return next year Hide

The Cobblers is a fabulous house and spotlessly clean. Ideal for a large group and so central in Wells that everything is only a few steps away. The enclosed garden is safe for the dog and there is plenty of parking too.
