Overview
Property code: KT050

Curlew Cottage sits in an enviable location in the heart of the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea. A beautifully styled holiday cottage with fantastic countryside views which lead out to the coast. There are 3 bedrooms - the master bedroom benefits from a king size bed, an en-suite shower, and there are lovely views across the fields to the sea. It also has plenty of room to put up the cot. The second bedroom also has fantastic views through the large picture window, and benefits from a king size bed. The twin room (with a pull out bed) can also be used as a single with cot if required. Outside the fully enclosed garden has a wonderful sun deck, where you can relax and soak up the views. The owners have decorated the cottage throughout with thought and taste ensuring that any visitor feels instantly at home here.

A short stroll and you'll find great pubs like the Golden Fleece and the Albatross, plus the iconic quayside. From here you'll spot the small local fishing boats, and the children can try crab fishing – also known as gillying. Staithe Street is lined with local shops for you to explore during your stay, and there are many restaurants within walking distance (one is just two doors away).

Curlew Cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the best of Norfolk. There are many historic houses such as Holkham Hall (2 miles). Retail therapy is must with nearby Burnham Market (5.5 miles), where you'll find trendy shops galore. For the adventurous, the famous Norfolk Broads and its lock-free waterways await to be discovered, or enjoy a family day out at the Sea Life Sanctuary at Hunstanton, just 15 miles away.

Excellent location, all local amenities within easy walking distance. A cosy cottage, ideal for a break anytime of year. On street parking was available during our November stay, but the pay and display is an ideal alternative and at 34 for the week is good value.

Super little place to stay if you're looking for something straightforward and right in the heart of the town. Clean and well equipped. Enclosed rear garden was perfect for our little dog and the view of the park and footpaths to the beach beyond was great for a spot of people watching. So many fabulous places to visit if you're based in Wells.

A lovely property in a great location. We found on street parking during the break but as we had two cars in our party we also parked easily in the car park opposite which cost 34 for the week. It was quick and easy to heat the property and it stayed warm throughout our stay.

Lovely cottage in ideal location. On street parking was a bit hit and miss though there is a fee paying car park almost opposite. We had problems getting and keeping the cottage warm during the intense cold spell in February. Had most of the amenities you would require for a stay but strangely no tea strainer or sieve.
