Fabulous Hampden House
Thank you Jane for the stay at your beautiful property Hampden House. What an idillic location!!! Everything had been thought of and was provided at the house for us. Our two girls 2&6 had so much fun looking out the windows straight to the sea, what an amazing location. Couldn’t fault it, fabulous kitchen & living area too. We stayed whilst attending a wedding at Holkam hall, ideal!! A beautiful house with so much character! Thank you!!

Lovely house in great location
This is a lovely, homely place to stay right in the heart of Wells. Comfortable beds and thoughtfully equipped. Some great places to eat and drink within a few minutes walk - our favourite was the Golden Fleece - and lots of fantastic walks along beaches and coastal paths. The parking and 'terrace' are added bonuses. We didn't find the walled garden to be a useable space, the AGA was off for the first couple of days of our stay and the slow drain made the wet room shower difficult to use but these minor things wouldn't put us off staying again or recommending the property to anyone looking for a great place to stay

Regardless of cold wind
Excellent property and location. Sadly the East Coast was experiencing a cold wind. But the house was warm and did not require the ‘central’ heating

About the host

Hosted by Jane Chick

Host profile image
My husband and I live a couple of hours away from Wells-next-the-Sea on the Suffolk coast and we have five grown-up (!) children.

Why they chose this property

As a child I spent the long 6-week summer holidays camping at Wells with my mum and my brother. They were perfectly idyllic times - no rules, no shoes, chocolate sandwiches for tea and a constantly changing supply of playmates. It has always had a special place in my heart and the rest of my family have had no choice but to also fall in love with it. For many years we have talked about buying a holiday cottage here and when Hampden House came on the market we simply couldn't let it go. We spend as much time here as we can.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is just a couple of minutes walk from the harbour, the pubs and the shops in Staithe Street and it only takes about 20-25 minutes to walk along the sea wall to the beach. East End is a no through road and feels like a retreat from the noise and bustle of the town - Hampden House benefits from the best of both worlds. In 2016 we completely renovated the cottage, changing the layout and maximising the views and the light. We have installed a wonderfully effective wood burner so that the cottage is cosy and welcoming even during the winter months. However, the main feature of this property is its position and the views that change constantly as the tide ebbs and flows. The terrace can be enjoyed all day long - even in the winter it's a perfect place to wrap up warm and enjoy coffee or a glass of wine. Having 2 parking spaces is invaluable in Wells, especially during the summer months. NB - until Oct 2018 guests will also have the use of a walled garden opposite the house on the other side of Jolly Sailors Yard. This is a lovely sheltered spot if the wind is a little too chill on the terrace. From 1st October 2018 the garden will no longer be available as we are building a small 2-bed flat on the site.
