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.

Seascapes was lovely. Clean, comfortable and very quiet, close to the centre, bus stops and shops. Parking on drive. The beds were comfy and showers hot and clean. The kitchen was well equipped, and we appreciated the kitchen and bathroom starter packs. A lovely property and perfect base for exploring the coast path, being so close to bus routes in both directions. Beautiful walks almost from the door, stunning skies and multicolour 360 degree landscapes, birds, wildlife and picturesque villages, easy to find bus stops and low fares, friendly people. Comfortable base to return to each night.
Modern, well equipped property. Well situated. Wells is a delightful little town with a good bus service.
Good location in a very quiet part of town. Parking and a downstairs bedroom available. Clean and modern, great facilities. Spacious bedrooms. We love Norfolk so returned to explore the beaches and play on the 2p machines!
We had a very enjoyable stay - thank you. The property was perfectly placed for us, a short walk to the harbour, yet so peacefully quiet - we couldn’t quite believe we were staying in the town centre it was so quiet. The outdoor space was ideal & we very much enjoyed our time spent relaxing in the sunshine on the comfortable furniture. The distance to the shops, harbour & town centre was perfect, yet the surroundings were so peaceful.
Lovely property, ideally situated for pottering about Wells, a friendly close, quiet but only a few minutes to town. The property is clean and modern, with good facilities and a well stocked kitchen. Parking was very very useful being in Wells on a bank holiday! The little touches of kitchen and bathroom welcome packs were gratefully received, thank you. The garden is a little sun trap and the sofa with the cushions very comfortable. All the above. Plus a few sunny days to spend on Wells beach - fabulous!

Electric Vehicle charging
Cars may only be charged if there is an EV charging point fitted at the property. The cost of electricity is NOT included in the rental price and Sowerbys Holiday Cottages must be notified if the charger is used and an additional surcharge will be made. Due to insurance purposes, guests must never charge their car using a standard outdoor plug or an extension cable linking to a domestic plug.
