Embark on a romantic break as a couple and bring your two favourite hounds along for the ride with a stay at this charming coastal cottage. Bursting with character from the stable door to the thoughtful decor, you’ll feel at home in an instant when you step inside this seaside-inspired abode. What’s more, Well-next-the-Sea Beach welcomes pups to play on the majority of the beach at all times of year for epic days out right on your doorstep.

As you step inside, the light, bright, open-plan living space welcomes you in to kick back and relax on the cosy sofa. A quaint two-seater dining table sits beside a window offering an intimate spot to share a meal or plan your next adventure with your canines. The kitchen has been beautifully crafted, ensuring you have all the tools you need to be able to cook up a storm during your self-catering holiday, with inspiring views to set your creative juices flowing. The stairs take you up to the calming bedroom, furnished with a fantastic king-size bed and a window overlooking the quay, as well as a modern en-suite shower room. Throughout there is a subtle nautical theme reflective of your surroundings which will make this a break you’ll remember for many years to come.

Water-loving dogs will enjoy a trip aboard a boat from Blakeney (9 miles) to explore the coastline from a unique perspective, as well as venturing through the national nature reserve sniffing out the best sticks to fetch. From Wells-next-the-Sea you could take a tour of the beaches with a walk along the Norfolk Coast Path with the paw-friendly sands of Brancaster Beach 10 miles away and Old Hunstanton 16 miles away depending on how much of a challenge you are searching for.

A well located cottage. Bijou. The upstairs is delightful and contemporary seaside themed room. Comfy bed with good linen and fluffy towels. Problem with shower but hopefully fixed now.

The cost adds up The bench outside is broken with weeds growing round about and a scuffed front door. Easy to fix and make it more appealing. Would have liked to have used the bench.

Nice little cottage in a lovely location. Very much enjoyed our week based in Wells. Be aware that there is no parking. There are costly local car parks that are a flat walk, or 5 mins up a slight hill is free roadside parking on a housing estate, but you can load and unload outside the entrance.

Location was perfect, close to Wells centre and costal path. Upstairs was lovely, but downstairs was tired. There was a stale milk smell in the kitchen area which stayed all the week, not very nice. Baking trays in oven hadnt been cleaned properly and were sticky. More than one toilet roll would have been useful. Response from holidaycottageRead mores.co.uk: Thank you for your review.

Although the upstairs of Fisherman's cottage is bright and clean with comfortable bed and excellent shower, we feel the downstairs needs all the walls repainted and spring clean. There must be such history in this lovely cottage, but it is being neglected. We solved the parking issue by using a parking app justpark before we went.
