Outside
Mainsail Yard is conveniently positioned off Freeman Street and access to the property is via two 5-bar gates with off-street parking for 3-4 cars.
There is a large decked area which wraps around the side and rear of the house with views to the pinewoods, with outside furniture for eight and two sun-loungers.
The field behind the house has been sympathetically developed by the Holkham Estate as a parking area with access to the beach over two further fields. A great deal of effort has gone into ensuring it blends with the landscape by putting in two large ponds directly behind the Mainsail Yard properties and planting trees and shrubs around them.
Sandbanks is ideally positioned only a short walk along to the quay and all of Wells' amenities.

Guest Reviews
10 out of 10 for Cleanliness, Perfect for us, everything top standard and perfect view.
Jacqueline & Veronica - 29/04/2022
We like the large rooms at Sandbanks. 10 out of 10 for the cleanliness. The welcome pack was very acceptable and good quality items too.
The Howe family - 17/09/2021
The welcome gifts were a lovely touch. I have already have another booking in place for this property , hopefully my family will be able to come . Because of Covid rules (one household only) it meant my husband and myself were the only ones able to enjoy this house. Much bigger than the photos portrayed. The quality of furniture/fittings and contents of the property where of a high standard. We liked the size and situation of the property, I have stayed in many houses in Wells, including Mainsail yard before, this has now gone up my list as a favourite.
The Hulland's - 30/04/2021
Better than Expected - Bigger, more spacious and brighter. A wonderful family break, thoroughly enjoyed by the four legged member of the family!
The Taylor's - 25/11/2019
Better than Expected with rooms much more spacious than description/photos suggest. Liked the location and having plenty of living space. Cleanliness 10 out of 10, we would stay again!

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.
