Start and end each day in this charming barn which seamlessly blends the old with the new to create a warm and welcoming holiday home with a great outdoor space.

Gather in the comfortable living room where three luxurious leather sofas are positioned around the TV for lazy evenings watching films together. At mealtimes, the modern kitchen inspires creative cooking with its exposed brick wall feature and traditional wooden flooring, whilst the dining table sits in an all-white area filled with natural light. Completing the ground floor is a bunk room with height-restricted beds and a quirky style, as well as an en-suite shower room. Up on the first floor, there are a further two bedrooms, including a beautiful king-size room with an overhead skylight for stargazing, and a tasteful twin, well suited to children. These rooms share the use of the family bathroom, with its blissful roll-top bathtub where you can fully unwind in the evenings. At the back of the property is a lovely garden with a patio area, garden furniture and a gravelled area.

Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are so many places to explore from your doorstep, with Wells Beach and the woodland less than a mile away. Head to Holkham Hall (2 miles) to explore the grounds which feature stunning cycling routes, walled gardens and plenty of activities for children too.

Cottsge was warm and spacious. Comfortable space to live in plus small garden area which was pretty. Good location and parking space good. However the cottage is directly opposite British Legion and there was often noisy people drinking outside, they did leave at 11pm but I found it irritating hearing them.

Would definitely recommend Hideaway Barn. The cottage was lovely, had everything we needed and the location was perfect. So near to some lovely shops, pubs and restaurants. The parking space was also a bonus. The cottage and the area is very dog friendly so was perfect for us. Will hopefully be back another time.

A Wonderful Stay at Hideaway Barn - We absolutely loved our time at Hideaway Barn its a fantastic place to stay, right in the heart of Wells, and having a private parking space was a huge bonus. Its amazing how quiet and peaceful it is, despite being so centrally located.

Great location, but equipment and furnishings need improvement and/or updating. The cottage gets very hot when the weather is hot and no fans are provided.

This cottage is in a great location for exploring Wells and the surrounding area. Parking spot an added bonus but challenging if the other spot is in use. In general I would highly recommend it, very spacious and clean. The private garden is very useful and secure for our little dogs!

We had a very comfortable stay at the Hideaway Barn. We love Wells-Next-The-Sea, and the cottages location was great; so close to harbour, shops, art galleries, theatre, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Great local walks too. The welcome gifts were very much appreciated.

The place was great, has everything you need, clean and tidy, nice bit of outdoor space, and a parking space. Open plan layout is great for family time together. The location is brilliant, literally a stones throw from the harbour, and walking distance of a few minutes to most pubs and restaurants. We would definitely stay again.
