Guest Reviews

Peter
Brilliant location. The house was very comfortable. Views are amazing
Gail
Beautiful place and perfect for a family of six. Lovely outdoor seating available. House is a bit lacking in terms of basic supplies - cooking oil, spices, laundry detergent etc. Other than that, loved our stay and would recommend to others, but be sure to bring EVERY thing you need
Shelagh
Excellent, well equipped, comfortable property, which is larger than it looks in the photos. Perfect location for enjoying the benefits of Holkham Hall and for beautiful walks straight from the property.
John
Wonderful accommodation for two families. Kitchen well equipped with two fridges and freezers. Location was excellent with plenty of outside seating and eating areas. Access to Holkham Estate and free parking was a bonus.
Melanie
Great location. Comfortable beds and sitting areas.
Keith
Beautiful setting and house. Would happily re-visit.
David
A well designed and comfortable modern cottage in a beautiful location. A few niggles which we have raised with the company and which no doubt will be corrected, in which case this property would be close to perfect for a holiday min this lovely part of the world.
Peter
Extremely comfortable accommodation of a very high standard. Fabulous views. Safe garden area for children and dogs. Would love to return!
Lana
Perfect - thatâ??s all.
Alison
A beautifully presented, spacious and well equipped property in a stunning location. We enjoyed some lovely walks both along the coast and on the Holkham Estate. The property was very warm despite the cold weather.
Elaine
The location of this lovely property is wonderful with great views over the surrounding countryside through the large picture windows. Bedrooms were very comfortable and the living area was cosy in the evening with the wood burner lit.
Nicola
Luxurious stay in a great location. The property was absolutely divine with everything needed and only a short walk to the centre of Wells which itself is charming! A short drive to the surrounding villages also makes this property an ideal location. We would highly recommend this property.
Julia
We stayed with my two daughters and boyfriends and our very good friends who are our girls god parents for my husband's 60th Birthday celebration weekend. Spacious Lodge for 8 in Wells-next-the-Sea is very well laid out and we all had our own ensuite bathroom/ shower room and an additional cloakroom. The wood burner was amazing and the space very cozy and warm. Can highly recommend, we will book again
John
Spacious Lodge for 8 in Wells-next-the-Sea is a fantastic property for large groups, with a huge living area and generously sized double bedrooms. The location is excellent within comfortable walking distance of Holkham Hall, Holkham beach and Wells-next-the-Sea. A wonderful place to relax.
Odette
Spacious Lodge for 8 in Wells-next-the-Sea is the most perfect place for a family holiday. It is very well equipped but the best thing is the location. There is no need to go chasing around in the car because Holkham offers everything - miles of lovely walks, cycle routes, wildlife, birds (especially the geese) - a perfect place for a relaxed holiday.
Sally
A lovely holiday home. Perfect for our group of 4 couples. Plenty of communal space and very well equipped kitchen. An excellent location with great views over the countryside.
Maureen
Well equipped and modern property. Spacious Lodge for 8 in Wells-next-the-Sea is in beautiful location, close to Wells for restaurants and Holkham Beach for outstanding sands and walks in the woods.
Sophie
This is a beautiful house and wonderful location. It is extremely comfortable and all your needs have been considered - it's a pleasure to be on the edge of the Holkham Estate and get all the perks (like discounts and free parking) that come with staying in a Holkham Estate property. It's the best place we've stayed in Norfolk, and we've already booked to come back next year!
Adele
3rd visit to this property. Great to have 4 large double bedrooms each with unsuited. It lives up to its name as the views are amazing as is the outside space. A great location so close to Wells and Holkham. The complimentary car parking at Wells Beach and Town car park is a big plus.
Adele
An amazing, very well equipped property. The views are fantastic. We were very lucky to see lots of kites and a hare and a pheasant that went by the window most evenings. The highlight for us though was the owl that visited one evening during dusk and hovered very close to the window before swooping down for its prey. The outside space is great and the large, enclosed grassed area great for the kids to play on.
Barry
Excellent Barn in great location with fantastic views.
Olivia
Fantastic stay! Beautiful cottage. Stunning location! They thought of it all! Would 1000% recommend! Will be returning in the summer for long evenings on the patio! Thank you!
Nicola
The property is amazing! For the dynamics of our family six adults and two grandchildren it ticked all the boxes. Family of four in one side and is grandparents and my second adult daughter the other. The children lived seeing all the wildlife and we enjoyed walking to wells and holkham from the property. We spent coffee time on the patio and the children enjoyed ball in the garden. Plenty of room in seclusion but at the same time close to everything we needed.
Susan
What a perfect location and stunning property. It really met all of our needs, including a baby and 2 dogs. The outside space is beautiful and great for outside eating. Couldn't be in a more perfect location - hope to return very soon!
John
A very comfortable and well equipped property in an excellent location. Close enough to Wells to walk to restaurants and pubs and a short drive from Holkham Beach.
Tracy
We loved the property, spacious, lovely garden, superb location, great views, plenty of walks close by. Can highly recommend.
Susan
There were 8 of us and we had a fantastic time at the cottage thankyou very much
Elaine
The location of this property was excellent for a winter break. The design and level of equipment ensured a wonderfully relaxed and comfortable stay for 4 mature couples who would love to repeat the experience.
