Property code: KT050

Sitting in an enviable location in the heart of the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea, this beautifully styled holiday cottage has fantastic countryside views which lead out to the coast. Seamlessly blending traditional features such as exposed brick walls with modern updates in the open-plan living space, you’ll feel at home from the moment you step through the door. What’s more, your local beach can be found less than 2 miles away lined with colourful beach huts along the vast sandy shore.

The open-plan living area is a great social space with beautiful wood flooring, an exposed brick wall and light pouring in through the patio doors. Sink into one of the two large leather sofas, or one of the armchairs to relax and make the most of the pretty garden views. In the centre of the room is a fantastic feature fireplace alongside the dining table which seats six and has a selection of beautiful artworks of the local area to admire. At the end of the room is the cosy country-style kitchen which is small but perfectly formed to ensure you have everything you need to cook during your stay. There are three bedrooms with the master bedroom benefitting from a king-size bed, an en-suite shower, as well as lovely views across the fields to the sea. The stylish second bedroom also has fantastic views through the large picture window and is furnished with a king-size bed for comfort. In addition, the twin room (with a pull-out bed) is great for children. Outside, the fully enclosed garden has a wonderful sun deck, where you can relax and soak up the views.

For a spot of history, pay a visit to Holkham Hall where you can explore the estate’s interiors and gorgeous gardens before stopping off at the tearoom for a tasty treat. Nearby Burnham Market (6 miles) is a charming place to visit for a spot of shopping and dining with awe-inspiring architecture and a friendly local feel. To explore more of the coast, head to Hunstanton (17 miles) and you can make the most of the beach, or head off for an invigorating adventure along the Norfolk Coast Path drinking in the panoramic viewpoints.

Nice place to spend a week in beautiful North Norfolk and so close to all Wells next the sea has to offer. Nice cottage but small downstairs - fine for the two of us but six adults would be a bit of a squash.

The cottage was very clean and welcoming. We stayed during Feb and had a great time despite the cold weather. The kitchen was fitted out very well with everything you would need . The bedrooms were bigger than we expected and 2 off them had great views of the Staithe. The smart tv was a plus and the washing machine and dishwasher. There was also plRead moreenty of seating in the lounge with two comfortable 2 seater sofas and 2 off single chairs. Thanks for the welcome pack. Hope to return next Feb 2026. Hide

We had a lovely stay in this cottage . It is in the perfect location and has such a wonderful view. We had everything we needed to be comfortable for the week and it is also dog friendly, which is a bonus. The welcome pack was a lovely touch too. Would certainly return.

Fantastic location in Wells. Sleeps 6. Bedrooms all a good size with storage. Bathrooms compact but well thought out. Downstairs living space is compact, but functional. Outside space is great.

Excellent location, all local amenities within easy walking distance. A cosy cottage, ideal for a break anytime of year. On street parking was available during our November stay, but the pay and display is an ideal alternative and at 34 for the week is good value.

The location of the cottage was excellent, right in the centre to Wells Next The Sea. It was a lovely furnished cottage and well equipped. We arrived on a Saturday and therefore the car park opposite was quite full, we had quite a walk to unload the car. We purchased a week ticket for the 34.00.
