Guest Reviews
We liked the open planned kitchen/living room/dining room and the location at Harbour Cottage, excellent! Staff at Sowerby have been so helpful, this holiday has been cancelled twice due to Covid. Even the cleaner that we met was exceptional helpful and friendly. Definitely book through Sowerbys again!

Harbour Cottage was bigger and better location than we hoped for. Loved the location and all the rooms, particularly the living area. Great to have the garage to store things, We had a fantastic week.
The Wall Family - 14/08/2020
Better than Expected - Nicely appointed, good layout, great location. It is very comfortable. The furnishings and beds are all very nice. The layout works well too. There is nothing we didn't like and we would like to stay again!
The Lean Family - 06/07/2020
We loved the decor, layout, location, in fact almost everything car access! A lovely property that only lacks a view of the coast and a garden
- 19/07/2018
A spacious property and the bedroom/bathroom ratio worked for us.
Stayed on an exceptionally cold weekend, but the house was very warm and comfortable.

We all had a nice time in Wells-next-the-Sea. We went crabbing and fishing and went to the beach. At the beach we found lots of seashells and cockles and we made a mermaid in the sand. Me, Daniel and Mummy won lots of things in the arcade. Daniel won a giant plush Minion teddy. We all ahd a wonderful time. We hope to come back again soon. Love from Lily xxx

This cottage is lovely! We have had a fun week, enjoying Wells in this cottage. The restaurants are delicious and crabbing was fun as well.

I love this cottage so much! It has an excellent view and the cottage is cosy! I enjoyed crabbing on the harbour and eating local fish and chips. The location is amazing, with a lovely high street. I recommend the local cheese brie. Thank you!

One of the best weeks in my life. The sun was shining down on Harbour Cottage which was really nice and made me feel at home. I'd love to stay again. Ben, age 11 3/4

What a beautiful property in a fantastic location! We have had a lovely week - hiring bikes at Holkham Hall, playing on the beach, hours of crabbing at the harbour and eating in various great restaurants. We would love to come back - thank you!

Wells-next-the-Sea
Location
Wells-next-the Sea is the runaway winner of the first Sunday Times "Beach of the Year" award. 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. 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 medieval days. Now it is home to the excellent Crown hotel and restaurant which is run by Kiwi celebrity chef
The sandy beach flanked by pine forest is about a mile from the quay and can be reached by road, on foot along the causeway or via the miniature railway.
Holkham Hall with its impressive 18th century Palladian architecture and 3,000 acre deer park is only a couple of miles away along the coast road.
