ABOUT
Norfolk Coast Cottage's second holiday cottage is Wayfarer House, situated in the heritage coastal town of Wells next the Sea.
The detached cottage is stylish, quiet and comfortable, benefitting from it's own private driveway (parking for up to 4 cars) and pretty enclosed private garden. (a rare find for a cottage in such a central Wells next the Sea location).
​
It has 4 great sized bedrooms accommodating up to 8 guests. 2 doubles (1 with ensuite shower room) and 2 twin rooms.
Dog friendly accommodation (max 2 dogs).
​
We bought the cottage at the end of 2022 and have renovated the interior Spring 2023. New bathrooms, furniture and repainted.
​
Wells next the Sea
Situated on the North Norfolk Coast (An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) the seaside resort of Wells next the Sea has an eviable location on the north Norfolk coast. The harbour is dominated by the striking gantry jutting out from the former granary building, reminding us of the commercial power this port once enjoyed in the grain and malting industry. Also don't miss the 10-foot sculpture of the Lifeboat Horse, made from whisky barrels and steel bars.
Wells Beach is a one-mile stretch of shoreline that takes you past fishing boats integral to the livelihood of the local community. The beach is part of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is flanked by a forest of pine trees, sand dunes and colourful beach huts.
You can ride on an electric open top bus that runs from the beach into town, hopping off to stroll around Staithe Street with its independent retailers and cafes or meander the streets of The Buttlands, a green oasis surrounded by lime trees and houses from the
18th and 19th centuries, along with a former coaching inn where you can stop for a refreshing drink.
​
The whole area is great for family holidays, walking, birdwatching, stately homes and crabbing. Wells beach is only a short walk away.
There are many great places to eat and drink in the villages of North Norfolk, opportunities for seal watching and sand dune jumping, as well as loads of historic buildings, gardens and steam railways. There is always something new to discover when visiting.

THINGS TO DO
Miles of sandy beaches are all close by. Walk to Wells beach or hop on the electric bus from the harbour. Also a short drive and you'll be at Holkham Beach too.
The Norfolk Coast Path offers an ideal way to explore the natural beauty of the coastline, taking in salt marshes, working harbours and miles of sand dunes.
The largest seal colony in England can be found at neighbouring Blakeney Point. Trips to see the seals depart from Blakeney or Morston Quay.
Norfolk is often described at the birdwatching capital of Britain with many rare visiting birds. Cley Reserve is on our doorstep and many other reserves are nearby providing birdwatching opportunities all year round.
Norfolk is a remarkable county for history with many medieval houses, castle ruins and stately homes. On our doorstep are Holkham Hall, Felbrigg Hall, Hindringham Hall and just a little farther Blickling Hall, Oxburgh and of course Sandringham - the Royal family's rural retreat.
We think the best crabbing or gillying (Norfolk expression) spots are Blakeney and Wells Quay. A treat to have pancakes afterwards at Wells on 'The Albatros' an 18th century North Sea sailing boat, permanently moored on the quay!
Close by is Hilltop Outdoor Adventure Centre where activities include: High Ropes, The Big Zipper, Super Swing, Climbing Wall, Archery, Tree Top Trial & The AIR JUMP.
Nearby Sheringham, East and West Runton and Cromer are great areas for rock pooling and fossil hunting.
