Beach
With its big blue skies and sandy beach, Wells award-winning beach is a popular family destination about a mile from the quay. It's well known for its long stretch of sand, iconic row of beach huts, sand dunes and pine woods.
Village
It's a delightful unspoilt historic town on the North Norfolk Coast with a jumble of old buildings and lanes still existing from its heritage as a port and former maltings industry. The picturesque quay and waterfront is still very much a working port with fishing boats still berthed in this small harbour and stalls selling locally caught shrimps, crabs and whelks. A popular place with sailors with many sailing and leisure craft here and local sailing tuition available. A distinctive landmark on the quay is the granary building with its overhanging gantry. Children enjoy the facilities round the quay and the challenge of crabbing (gillying) from the steep harbour wall.
The main shopping area of Wells is Staithe Street, a narrow, mostly pedestrianised lane with surviving Victorian and Edwardian shop fronts, that runs from the water's edge right up to the top part of town. In the centre of the town is The Buttlands which is a large rectangular green lined with Georgian and late Victorian houses, which used to be used for archery practise in mediaeval days. Now it is home to the excellent Crown hotel and restaurant which is run by Kiwi celebrity chef Chris Coubrough, as well as the popular The Globe Inn.
The quay has become one of the North Norfolk’s most popular and well-loved seaside destinations with a great selection of shops, galleries and places to eat, including the award winning French's fish & chips.
History
The name derives from the spring water which rises up through the chalk area. Guella is the name given in the doomsday book and later derived from Wella meaning spring. The supply of corn and grain was the main trade for the town of Wells, its seaport dates back to the fourteenth century. Wells was also known for the supply of malt, the town boasted to have up to twelve maltings and in 1750 this equated to a third of the exports of malt from the country. Wells port widely relies on the tides to gain access to the harbour as there is not a river running through it. Between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries its mariners were the first to bring herring and cod in large quantities from Iceland.
Visit
Only a couple of miles away along the coast road is Holkham Hall with its impressive 18th century Palladian architecture and 3,000 acre deer park. This is a must visit location for all the family with many lovely events taking place at Holkham throughout the year. There is also a nature reserve in and around the Holkham which includes all manner of wildlife habitats, flora and fauna. You can visit the Lookout for panoramic views whilst enjoying a cuppa located at the top of Lady Anne’s Drive. The beach at Holkham is absolutely beautiful and has often been used as the location for many films and music videos including ‘Shakespeare in Love’ and ‘The Duchess’. You will often see families with their four-legged friend or even weekend horse riders, or if you are lucky the Household Cavalry at the beach.

Really enjoyed the Anthony Gormley exhibition at Houghton Hall and always love a walk at Holkham. Also really enjoyed games of monopoly in the evenings.
I spent a wonderful few days in wells, the flat was very comfortable and had everything i needed. Great location for walking.
Pleasant comfortable well equipped accommodation in a pretty location. Walk on Wells Beach. Afternoon Tea at Morston Hall.
Fabulously thoughtful to let us know the apartment was available early and provide fizz and snacks. Super quality accommodation in wonderful location we enjoyed our stay very much. We did buy a shower mat because we wanted an extra non-slip assurance when showering as there is no grab rail either. This comment is just in case it would help another guest. We thoroughly enjoyed our break. Thank you for consistently excellent experiences.
A very enjoyable stay. So many lovely walks near by and Wells next the Sea is an interesting town . The apartment suited us completely. So clean and warm and everything you need for a weeks holiday. The beaches, the walks and the pubs and cafes. A pleasure to stay in this apartment and such good value.
Brilliant stylish classy apartment fully equipped fantastic location. Being in great location and the flat great place to hang out.
Our 4th visit to Monteagle 5 and just as cosy and comfortable as its predecessors. We like its location overlooking The Buttlands, with a pair of director's chairs offering a grandstand view of life going on across the green. Staithe Street's just a hop, skip and a jump away; near enough to get you egg & bacon rolls back piping hot from Howells Bakery. This time the 'highlight' has to be a one-way ride on the Welcome Ferry out from Burnham Overy Staithe to Gun Hill, where a seal pop watched our arrival with mingled amusement and disdain.
It’s our third stay at 5 Monteagle. We love it. Fish and chips on the beach, fun times in our beach hut. The kids playing on the Buttlands.
We really enjoyed our stay at Monteagle. A beautiful airy and nicely decorated property. Spotlessly clean and in a really lovely prime location for all the beautiful sites of Wells. You do have to be prepared for some noise at night due to its close proximity to the most popular pubs on the village Green, but that didn’t put us off and we loved our stay.Wells itself is a beautiful, with lovely shops and a beautiful beach. We also walked to Stiffkey from Wells. It was a long walk but a lovely one taking in the views of the surrounding salt marshes. We are very lazy when it comes to nature watching, but still managed to see little egrets, oyster catches, and curlews without even trying which was really nice. We would definitely come back to wells and stay at 5 Monteagle again.
Fantastic stay! Couldn’t fault anything. The location is perfect. The apartment was so spacious and clean. We had such a lovely time and would highly recommend.
Excellent property, great location our 6th stay! Property remains very high quality, fixtures and fittings are very good, fantastic weather added to a great week.
We had a lovely week at 5 Monteagle. The apartment was spacious, well furnished and well appointed. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. Seal watching boat tour Watching the lifeboat launch from Wells Lovely shops on Staithe Street Eating at Socius in Burnham Market Cycling at Holkham Hall.
Stylish apartment in a lovely old property in a beautiful area of Wells
Well equipped with quality furnishings. Handily placed with great views from the front windows.However no reserved parking and the being on the second floor the stairs might be a problem for some. We enjoyed sitting looking out over the Buttlands from the lounge window.
Comfortable third floor apartment with views across The Buttlands. We enjoyed walks at Holkham and Burnham Overy Staithe. Breakfast at Byfords in Holt. Cakes from Picnic Fayre at Cley. Fish & chips from Plattens on the quay at Wells. Our second stay in six weeks, which should be recommendation enough!
The directors chairs in the window were a brilliant vantage point to watch the Buttlands from. The decor was lovely. Sofas super comfy.
Flat 5 Monteagle is a perfect position on The Butlands, fairly spacious for 2 with view of the Butlands, comfortably furnished and nicely decorated. Appeared very clean throughout and was also well equipped. We had a very enjoyable stay
5 Monteagle was better than we expected - Spotlessly clean extra touches very nice etc coffee tea and prosecco just like home from home. We felt very safe in these unprecedented times. We would like to thank you for a wonderful stay and we will want to book again next year if possible.
A well equipped spotless cottage. Good view across the Green. Very well equipped.Nothing extra needed. I have never seen so many hangers in a rented property. Excellent The guest information was also excellent. The owner had added lots of helpful information and everything was to hand
This was our second visit. We like 5 Monteagle for it's position. The view over Buttlands. How well appointed it was for a small flat. Plus nice colour schemes. We had a perfect, relaxing holiday and reluctantly returned to, a busy working week.
10 out of 10 for cleanliness It was really clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the apartment was excellent. It was clean and comfy and we felt at home. The extra goodies were a lovely touch. The apartment is in a perfect location too. We also liked that there wasn’t too much clutter in the apartment, this was particularly important for us as we have a very curious and lovely 18month old! We would definitely stay again and will recommend to our family and friends. Thanks again.
Cosy and well appointed. Great location.
I expected something good, but was particularly charmed by this flat.
I loved the location and the position of the flat in the eaves of the house.
There was everything I needed and it was comfortable and attractive.
It looked good on the Internet but looked even better when there.
This is our fifth stay at the property, we love this holiday apartment and intend to book again in the future.
Better than expected, in very good decorative order and very nicely furnished.
Nice position above Buttlands and very pleasant ambience in the flat.
Perfect for our needs.
Would love to come back
