Wonderful cottage, great location

We spent a week at St. Michaels and absolutely loved it. The location was perfect, the cottage was perfect. Everything is right on your doorstep.

Beautiful house in the perfect location

St Michael's Cottage is an absolutely beautiful house steeped in history. It has been beautifully renovated to include every facility you could possibly need on your holiday. The lookout at the top of the house gives the most stunning view across Wells and the TV room is perfect for anyone needing some quiet time. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the 3 bathrooms mean there are ample facilities even when the house is at full capacity. There are two very slight drawbacks to the property, the first being lack of free parking available and the second being the very steep stairs. There is a car park at the end of the street but you need to pay. The steep stairs are due to the property being of a certain period and therefore add to the character of the place. I would simply warn anyone who has mobility issues to consider staying here very carefully as every set of stairs is steep and there's nowhere to sleep on the bottom floor. Other than those two considerations, I'd highly recommend this beautiful house for a getaway. It's in the perfect location and provides a wonderful base for adventures to lots of wonderful locations around the local area.

Wells views

A very well equipped and comfortable house. Baths and showers. Good for families or groups of friends. Eccentric staircases and great views over the marshes from the top floor. Walking for central Wells, and convenient for exploring the beautiful North Norfolk coast

8/10 Good

Good and less good

Loved the house , the space , the situation . Felt it had not been given a ‘deep clean’ in preparation for our visit , needed in these COVID times . A few little maintenance issues , shower knobs , air extractors, mentioned at time . The iron proved burnt and unsafe ( tripped the whole house) …..the problem was immediately remedied by Norfolk Hideaways .Parking a challenge in the garage , not just by being tight and awkward ( not for the faint hearted) , but we kept being blocked in !Parking usually available in Maltings Car Park nearby.Would book again

We had a lovely week away staying at St Michael's Cottage. Ample room and very clean. Great location, not far from a lovely beach.

Beautiful, historic cottage in an ideal location

The cottage is beautifully decorated and very clean. It is spacious and well-equipped with lots of cleaning products etc. It is situated extremely close to the harbour, although down a back alley. The view from the lookout tower is really spectacular. However, the house is not really suitable for people with young children and anyone who might find stairs a challenge. The cottage dates back to 1595, so has extremely steep and winding stairs, which make it difficult to go up and down. It is quite dangerous for young children as there are no stair gates or doors to the stairs, in some cases. Our 4 year old son went flying down the stairs and it was hard carrying our toddler up and down them. Older children would no doubt find the house lots of fun, as the house is a bit of a maze! But, if you don't have pre-schoolers, the cottage is really lovely and has everything you might want. Wells is a lovely town and you are only minutes from lots of nice places to eat and things to do.

6/10 Okay

Nice central location but white vans parked outside our front door everyday. High chair dirty.

A little bit underwhelming and website picture of property does not tell full story as you are effectively on a back road with bins outside full of old fish and chips. Nice courtyard and bbq for relaxing but stairs are very difficult for small children. High chair mouldy and cot not assembled for our arrival. Nicely decorated inside and bedrooms very comfortable.
