Overview
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.

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.

Super little place to stay if you're looking for something straightforward and right in the heart of the town. Clean and well equipped. Enclosed rear garden was perfect for our little dog and the view of the park and footpaths to the beach beyond was great for a spot of people watching. So many fabulous places to visit if you're based in Wells.

A lovely property in a great location. We found on street parking during the break but as we had two cars in our party we also parked easily in the car park opposite which cost 34 for the week. It was quick and easy to heat the property and it stayed warm throughout our stay.

Lovely cottage in ideal location. On street parking was a bit hit and miss though there is a fee paying car park almost opposite. We had problems getting and keeping the cottage warm during the intense cold spell in February. Had most of the amenities you would require for a stay but strangely no tea strainer or sieve.
