About this property

Sea Shanty Cottage, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk

Situated in Wells-next-the-Sea, a mere stroll away from the town's bustling quay, this former fisherman's cottage offers contemporary, Scandi-style living and enjoys wonderful long distance coastal views from the top floor master suite.

Completely refurbished in 2020, Sea Shanty Cottage is curated over three floors. On the ground floor, there is a spacious well-equipped modern dining kitchen featuring modern appliances, an adjoining sitting room with a large L-shaped sumptuous sofa offering a cosy, chill out zone which is ideal for an relaxing evening, or catching up after spending a busy day outdoors, or just enjoying a favourite series on the widescreen Smart television enabled for Sky Ultimate. For convenience, there is also a cloakroom on this level. Upstairs on the middle floor are two of the bedrooms, a king-size bedroom and a bunk room. These are served by a shared a family bathroom, featuring a bath with shower over. On the top floor you will find the master suite hosting a double bed and en-suite shower room.

This comfortable mid-terrace cottage is ideal for two couples, a small family, or a group of friends, who like to have everything on the doorstep. A short stroll takes you to the main shopping street, where you will find all you need for your holiday, as well as some lovely places to stop for a bite to eat or a drink. Wander down to the quay to watch the fishing boats come in at high tide to unload their catch, or try your hand at crabbing. At low tide, all manner of wading birds will come in search of food in the shallow waters. From the quay you can walk along the raised sea defence to the beach and wonder at the beauty of this stunning wide open coastal stretch framed by pine woods and pretty candy coloured beach huts.

Sea Shanty Cottage
The cottage is very well situated within Wells Next the Sea and very easy to pop out to shop/eat. We loved Wells and Norfolk - it was our first visit. Overall we found the accommodation to be rather basic/small. The lighting in the living room was very poor with just one side light and the rest ceiling spots which made it difficult to read and create a sense of cosiness - a minor issue in the grand scheme of things but we stay in a lot of holiday cottages where soft touches and decor (e.g. pictures on walls) are important to us. The 2 major issues for us however were the black mould on all the corners of the window frames and glass that and the sink in the family bathroom was INTOLERABLY minute- totally impossible to wash face or teeth without cascading water onto the floor. There were no bathmats provided in either bathroom so we had to use a hand towel from the twin room which was less than ideal. Really disappointing as the 2 bathrooms otherwise were nicely done. The kitchen was lovely and light and well stocked however the welcome pack woefully poor (again in comparison to other places we have stayed). We did have a lovely holiday overall but you did ask for feedback so hence the comments. In saying this we would recommend the cottage to others as so well positioned for the town and the area.

Superb Holiday Let
We loved our stay at Sea Shanty Cottage, the cottage has been renovated to a very high standard, it was well stocked with everything we needed for a stay and the heating had been put on prior to our arrival. The location was superb, an easy walk to the main shopping street with a Deli, butcher, grocer, fishmonger, bakery and mini markets available aswell as restaurants and takeaways. The short walk down to the quay and to the beach provided plenty of exercise and our dogs loved the dog beach. The firestick was a bonus on the day when it poured down and we had a cosy day in the cottage. Our daughter loved the top floor suite with it's stunning views. The beds were all very comfortable, we'd happily stay here again. The only downside to this property was the lack of parking, we bought a week ticket for the nearest public car park, which was very reasonable in price and there was plenty of space in February but I'd worry about where to park in the summer season when parking spaces are limited, other than this minor detail the cottage itself and location was faultless and we really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Cottage
Sea Shanty cottage is beautifully decorated, comfy and cosy home from home. The location is perfect right in the middle of Wells. The shops, Delis and restaurants are only a few minutes walk away. The Quay and beaches are within walking distance and the town is so dog friendly. We will definitely be staying here again.

Great location, clean and well equiped
We loved our stay at Sea Shanty cottage, the location was close to the heart of Wells whilst still off main drag of shops and main traffic route, so was quiet from traffic noise etc. The cottage was decorated to a high standard and very clean. Only negative I had was that we had to provide our own soap, cleaning products, loo roll etc which seemed churlish after paying peak prices for the property.

Short break
We booked here as a last minute break, it was more than we bargained to pay for, but I suppose as the current situation was expected. Cottage was clean, not spotless. Decor was nice, the only snag were the bathroom sinks, were a bit small even for just cleaning your teeth in, an there was no bath mat so had to use the towels. Other than that was great location for the beach and restaurants.
