With room for seven, this fabulous holiday home has a gorgeous garden and much-prized private parking, yet is only 500 metres from the bustling quay and a mile from the fabulous sands of Wells-next-the-Sea. Gather nearest and dearest and make memories to treasure at this detached holiday home. Offering space where everyone can get together or spread out, it features a snug/children’s sitting room complete with TV, DVD player and selection of games and toys plus a more formal lounge where there’s a Smart TV with extra entertainment packages, a choice of comfortable seating, open fire and French doors to the garden. A contemporary kitchen stretches across the back of the house and features all the modern must-haves, including a wine cooler and dishwasher; cook up a feast and then enjoy good conversation as you eat in the elegant dining room. A spacious shower room completes the ground floor layout; upstairs there’s a light, bright family bathroom and four bedrooms – two have a double bed, one has twin beds and the other has a single. Traditional Norfolk flint and brick walls enclose the garden, which has cottage-style planting, lawned and paved areas and a barn that houses a handy washing machine and freezer. The parking space to the rear is a real bonus – this lively town is easily explored on foot!

Bordered by pine woodlands, Wells-next-the-Sea has a fine, sandy beach and iconic beach huts – it’s a mile from the bustling town centre and quayside but if you don’t fancy the walk, a small gauge railway will take you there. At the harbour, fishing boats unload their daily catch and children throw lines for crabs; there’s an eclectic choice of boutiques, cafes, pubs and tea rooms to browse, and a lovely playground where the little ones can run off steam before heading home. Should you wish to explore further, neighbouring Holkham has its own famous beach and nature reserve.

A lovely character cottage with comfortable and tastefully decorated rooms. The stairs and various steps may be a problem for some elderly people, but we got used to them quickly. The location is wonderful and we would certainly recommend a holiday here.

We had the best stay in Tusker house. It was very well equipped for a cosy winter stay; few logs for a fire, welcome pack of a few essentials and a lovely Christmas tree. Beds were comfortable and shower good pressure to wash hair! Great location to explore area and few minutes walk into harbour. Would definitely recommend!

We loved the house! It was quiet yet near to the shops and sea front. The garden was beautiful. It was clean and spacious. For families with children I would advise them to check tide times before selecting the week to stay, because the sea is only possible at high tide - it is so far out after this that it cannot be reached. We had to swim at 9.00Read more (high tide) which was fine for us but not ideal for families. Hide

The cottage is in the perfect location for walking into Wells, which we did every evening after our days out and the parking space was a added bonus. The cottage itself was very comfortable and cosy and met all our needs. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept well. Really pleased we chose Tusker House for our family holiday.

This is a delightful cottage in a quiet location but within easy walking distance to the bustling Quay and shops of Wells-next-the-sea .

A lovely cottage , perfect for a family holiday by the sea. The garden is beautiful and a real bonus. Wells is a pretty place and everything is in walking distance. Only downside is the single parking space which is difficult to get in and out if other cars are parked nearby.

Lovely house in a great location close to the sea and with good amenities in the town. We loved the walk down the gravel track through the pines to the beach. The garden is absolutely fabulous and great on the days when the weather was warm enough to have meals outside. The path to Holkham was also lovely and our 4 and 6 year old were both able toRead more cycle it - the 6 year old also loved the ropes course there. Hide
