About this property

Harbour View Cottage, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk

A lovely old fisherman's cottage just bursting with character and charm only minutes away from the quay and the heart of this popular seaside town.

Harbour View Cottage is a delightfully cosy and inviting 300-year old fisherman's cottage tucked away in a quiet loke set back from the quay. With beams made from the masts of old fishing boats, original wooden and tiled floors, a reclaimed pantile hearth, latch doors and steep Norfolk winder stairs to both floors, you can step back in time and let your imagination wander to Wells days gone by. But, don't worry, when you drift back to the present, you will find all mod cons, including WiFi, central heating and Sky TV! You can catch a glimpse of the Quay and sea from the bedrooms, there is a lovely sunny and private terraced garden to relax in and the availability of off road parking - on a first come, first served basis. Once you are parked, you don't really need your car, because everything is within walking distance and, if you want to venture further afield, just catch the Coasthopper bus that regularly stops in the town all year round.

This two bedroom character cottage is set over three floors, and a very comfortable and secret hideaway that will appeal to all kinds of holiday makers - families, walkers, bird watchers, couples and friends - at any time of the year.

Additional Information
Sorry, no pets.
Sorry, this property is not suitable for infants and toddlers under the age of 3 years.
Please note: Norfolk winder stairs are, as with older character cottages, steep, enclosed, curved and narrow with uneven risers. There is a wooden hand-rail on one side.

Quirky Cottage
Had a lovely stay in December which allowed us to see the Cromer & Thursford Christmas shows. Cottage is lovely, in a perfect location for exploring the area and Wells-next-to-the sea is a great town with beautiful walks and lots of eating places and shops. Would highly recommend. You must take note though that the stairs are steep so definitely not for those who struggle with stairs.

Harbour view cottage
Delightful cottages clean and tidy. However couldn’t use garden due to roof being mended next door. Parking can be difficult so once we got space never moved from there. Cottages has everything you could wish for. Stairs are extremely steep could do with second rail on left at top of first flight as there was on second . Would love to visit again when there is no building work going on.

Great place in a great place
A great cottage in a Wells. The stairs are not a problem. The bed's great comfort. Warm throughout. Everything you needed worked well. The view from the top bedroom was great. Great service from the letting company and a superb stay. Would definitely go back.
