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.

This is such a beautiful place to wake up and watch the sea. Beautiful apartment with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Everything is close by. Shops, pharmacy, garage, supermarket, pubs etc and a lovely walk to the beach. The Golden Fleece does good food and drink but its best to book.
We had a fantastic holiday. The balconies are the highlight if the apartment. You can't stop watching the tide go in and out.Great to watch birds in the harbour and people walking back and forth to the beach.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be booking again soon. Peewits was fantastic, so clean and tidy and had everything we needed, topped off with such wonderful views. Looking forward to enjoying it again soon. The sea coming in each day and covering the land, and then receding. We never tired of watching this.
We greatly enjoyed our time at Peewits. It is a lovely apartment beautifully fitted out. We had good weather, cold but no rain and managed several walks and saw some spectacular birdlife especially at Snettisham after a very high tide. We also had 3 white tides in Wells which were marvellous. We ate out at various Pubs each evening so we did not really use the kitchen facilities.
Our second visit to Peewits. Convenient location with parking.
Well appointed apartment with stunning views.Stay highlights, Norfolk as a whole.
We cannot thank you enough, yet again, for letting us have your wonderful apartment. Perfect Peewits seems to tick all the boxes. The Wells Santa Christmas Tide was a terrific added bonus, watching Santa arrive and the fireworks from your wonderful balcony.
Superb location, fantastic views from the front and back balconies. Comfortable beds,very well equipped kitchen. Walking the alpacas was a great experience. Lunch at the White Horse, Brancaster Staithe. Bus trip to Blakeney to eat at the Blakeney Hotel. The walk down to the fantastic beach.
Superb view from the apartment. Spacious layout. Appreciated Sky on T.V. Position in Wells unrivalled. Parking a plus.
This is an excellent property with beautiful views across the harbour. Well furnished and plenty of cutlery, cooking utensils etc. We stayed a couple of years ago and have already booked for next year. We had such lovely weather that we could sit out on the balcony for most of our break. The first day we were treated to a display by the Newfoundland Dog Rescue group which was fundraising for the RNLI - this took place right opposite our balcony. We visited the new Lifeboat Station. The Deli is a favourite of ours as is The Maltings. Lovely property with stunning views.
Without doubt the finest place to stay in Wells. Theft views are outstanding. We will book again next year. The views, watching the fishing boats come and go. Ticks all the boxes and then some.
Second visit here and the apartment was clean and views lovely . Looking over the balcony watching the activity and the access to local walks without having to take the car out.

We found Peewits Penthouse more than lived up to expectations. It was warm, well equipped and had very comfortable beds. The views were superb and we never tired of them at all stages of the tide. Highlights were Birdwatching from the balcony.
We loved the view and the walks. We are coming back in November!
An attractive, light, airy open-plan lounge, diner and kitchen with a large balcony and excellent views over the marshes and beyond. Outdoor lighting, heating and a BBQ! A secure and private setting with a large-sized sofa and a wooden bench with cushions. Large beds with a hardwood base.Great for entertaining.The highlights of our stay was, the space, the light, the views. Fairly comfortable and very private. Thank you for the Christmas tree!
Fabulous views from a beautiful apartment, our 2nd visit this year. Perfect location. Fabulous apartment in perfect location with stunning views, we so enjoy our holidays here whatever the weather.
Lovely apartment. We always enjoy visiting Wells so hope to be back again soon.
A lovely apartment with stunning views over the quay, it was amazing to watch the variety of landscape with the changing tides. On the whole comfortable and well equipped. The location was great and convenient. The parking space was fine for our car but I wouldn’t have wanted a larger car as that would have proved tricky.
The property was excellent, five stars all round.
This property was just as we expected, the description and photographs on the website are spot on. The view from the property is stunning and the beds were very comfortable and furnished to very high standards. We have already booked for 2022 but we can't wait to book for 2023.
I would recommend this apartment to anybody it is stunning..Fantastic position with amazing views which we liked along with the huge beds with one en suite.
A fantastic property for a holiday. The location in Wells and the wonderful view.
