About this property

Grey Goose Cottage is a delightful fisherman's cottage which sleeps 3 in 2 bedrooms. Fully centrally heated and completely redecorated this year, the house has a wonderfully sunny, south facing enclosed courtyard in which to relax with a glass or two, after a busy day on the beach. Downstairs the cottage comprises of a sitting room and kitchen with dining room table and upstairs there are two bedrooms (one with a glimpse of the sea!) and a light and airy family bathroom. There are books, games, toys and wifi. The house is dog friendly. Grey Goose Cottage is situated within minutes of the Buttlands where there are fantastic award winning gastropubs. Wells Quay is a few yards away where you can watch the local fishermen bring in their catches and children can have great fun fishing for crabs off the 'Albatros' clipper boat. We are also delighted to see a new ice cream parlour which has opened at the bottom of the street just before you reach the playground. From the harbour you can take the miniature steam train down to Wells beach with it's brightly painted huts and if you are lucky, spot a seal or two. There is so much to do here from sailing and bird watching to enjoying the outdoor cinema at Holkham. The Chocolate Deli in Walsingham is also worth a visit especially for their fantastic chocolate making workshops. Wells Carnival in August and the Pirate Festival in September are also great fun. There is wonderful Christmas shopping in the area too. Burnham Market has some fantastic shops and Christmas is celebrated with pretty lights and a skating rink on the green. Father Christmas arrives in Wells Quay by boat, under a display of fireworks at the beginning of December which is quite magical.
We also have Grey Seal Cottage in Wells 8172238 and The Boat House in the Norfolk Broads 1803562

Ideal location - shame about the cleanliness

Beautiful little cottage in an awesome location - great check in process, very good facilities. Cleanliness really let it down which is a massive shame. Kitchen dirty - too many things to mention here. Bedrooms dusty, bathroom not cleaned properly. Would possibly return if the property had a thorough and very deep clean.

Ideal location, close to quay and shops.

The cottage is bright, cheerful and has been tastefully furnished. Well equipped and ideal for couples and a child. The stairs are quite steep, so may be challenging for older guests and very young children. The bed was very comfortable. There are plenty of interesting places to visit within easy driving distance. There is no parking at the cottage. There is a car park nearby which cost £6 per day or you could find a space on a local street.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Wilson

Grey Goose Cottage is owned by Jon and Jane. We live in Norfolk and love coming to Wells with our 3 children and our dog Nelly. We spend many happy hours on the beautiful beach here and enjoy exploring the wonderful North Norfolk Coast. We always leave feeling a lot more relaxed than when we arrived!

Why they chose this property

Wells is fantastic for it's 'bucket and spade' lifestyle. Our children love to wander about the town, buying sweets from the sweet shop, fishing off the quay and swinging off the ropes in the woods next to the beach. Grey Goose Cottage is in wonderful location and is a lovely place to retreat to and recharge the batteries. Nothing beats opening the door to the smell of the sea and the sound of the swifts in the summer!
