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.

A very pleasant and spacious flat in a building I have visited many times before. It was my first time in the garden flat. The highlight was being with family members in a pleasant building in Wells, which is one of my favourite places.
We've stayed in Wells for many years and, for the last few, have stayed in three different flats in Monteagle. Of these, the garden flat is our favourite. Very spacious, very well equipped and comfortable. The wood burner is great on a chilly November evening, too! We love Wells, especially at this time of the year. The Crown, Globe and Bang are all excellent place to eat and drink, and Staithe St is a lovely place to mooch about for a few hours. We also love the walk to the beach, and sometimes you can see the seals too.
Enjoyed the stay.Thanks for the wine and biscuits.
We found the apartment lovely with all the requirements we needed. Lovely old building with character. Close enough to walk to town shops.
Really enjoyed staying in the Garden Flat. It was perfect for us as an Autumn get away. We usually stay in Burnham Market or Burnham Overy so interesting to compare. Liked the ability to walk to many amenities, shops, cafes and restaurants. Really enjoyed Flour and we had some great take away pizzas. Would recommend. Did all our usual things, beach, shops, restaurants all fantastic as always.
Wonderful accommodation in a wonderful location! Couldn’t fault a thing! Can’t wait to return!
Our 5th visit , special times. Very comfortable and prime position.
Great holiday space for our family. Beach as good as ever and the bonus of 2 families of seals.Visited Screen Next the Sea.Holkham beach and formal gardens.Felbrigg Hall. Blickling Hall.Weather not to bad a couple of sunny days next to the beach huts! We visit every year and always have a good time.
Always appreciate the excellent welcome pack.
Lovely flat, comfy and spacious, great location. North Norfolk has so many interesting places to visit, great galleries, fabulous coastal walks - is a favourite ‘haunt’. a great stay and excellent place for a friends’ reunion. Fabulous Gormley exhibition at Houghton Hall - the gardens there are a wonderful setting for large scale sculptures - never disappoints! Binham Priory and the fantastic restaurant there - lovely tasteful atmosphere, friendly, excellent food and had the bonus of a view of a newborn calf learning to walk! Binham Priory is a beautiful, peaceful site in a stunning landscape.
Excellent flat. Lovely and spacious and very well equipped. We've stayed in Wells for over 20 years and like the location of Monteagle. Parking usually OK at this time if year. Nice welcome pack, thanks. Highlights were seeing the seals on Wells beach.
Another lovely stay - perfect location and the flat suits our needs very well.
Loved the location and property. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Been coming to Wells for years and very happy to come back to this property. Enjoyed the three double bedrooms. Very spacious lounge/dining room/kitchen. Close to amenties.

This was first time with Sowerbys. However have stopped at The Buttlands before. Flat was perfect in every way and spotlessly clean. Felt our every need was catered for . Wells is such a lovely old fashion seaside town also. Driving along coast Rd visiting the different coastal villages. No two are the same The wild flowers also.
Such a lovely airy spacious apartment., spoilt for choice which too to read and relax in. Clean, fresh and with all you needed to make you very comfortable. The bed linen was lovely. Location between 2 pubs is perfect too.Highlight was spending time in the garden, the log fire and browsing the vinyl record collection.
Great place, brilliant location and we will definitely book to come again.
We had a lovely break away in Wells and loved the apartment. It has a lot of character and in a perfect location. We would stay again.
We have always enjoyed our stays in the flat, roomy and very comfortable with a gorgeous little garden suntrap. Following a stroke a few years ago my horizons are a bit limited but Wells is a lovely little town and I was able to take walks every day using my stroller. We tried a few meals out , coffee at Wills, and an early evening pint of Wherry at the Globe. Just Perfect!
Location and perfect for 3 generations of family. 2 bathrooms very useful. Comfortable furniture and sun in garden in morning and afternoon :) Also quiet location. A lot of features and thought has made it into the perfect holiday home. Already booked for September

A really lovely apartment in a surprisingly quiet location. Spacious rooms, beautiful wooden floorboards - and a record player!

What a gorgeous flat! Fantastic amenities and very homely atmosphere. Wonderful time had by all.
We have had a lovely week here for our Christmas break. The flat was decorated perfectly. Everything is within short walking distance from the flat and we had plenty of wintry walks by the coast.

We couldn't have enjoyed our time at Monteagle Gardne Flat more - it was the perfect home for us to enjoy wells from and the first time we've stayed somewhere that we would love to rebook.
Perfect in every way.
We loved the open plan layout of the living space, the way the flat had been decorated was beautiful and the way it felt like a family home rather than a holiday rental.
