Wells has a fantastic butcher, greengrocer, deli and baker plus a supermarket, 5 minutes walk away from the house. There is a great selection of pubs and restaurants all within walking distance.

From Wells Quay you can take the miniature steam train down to Wells beach with its brightly painted huts and if you are lucky, spot a seal or two. The beach cafe serves lunches, teas and coffees and prides itself on its dog friendliness. There are many other beaches in the area to explore plus lots of pretty inland villages which are best visited by bike if you fancy a slower pace of discovery.

There is so much to do in Wells and North Norfolk from sailing and bird watching to walking or just relaxing and taking it easy.

Please get in touch if you would like to enquire about booking a break with Grey Seal Holidays. I am very happy to help with enquiries about the local area and any specific requirements which will make your holiday extra memorable. We welcome dogs and are very family friendly in three of our properties. 

Other lovely places to stay

Grey Goose Cottage

Cosy fisherman's cottage, sleeps 3 close to Wells harbour.

Carpenters Cottage

Romantic boutique cottage, sleeps 2 with beautiful garden and parking.

The Boat House

Picturesque retreat in the Norfolk Broads, sleeps 2 with hot tub and views of the Broad.

Wow! A charming, high quality and very special place to stay. The attention to detail and cleanliness are exceptional. So many little touches that were very much appreciated. Lovely views of Ranworth Broad to the front, and to the Church and Alpacas to the rear; and what a treat the Alpacas are to watch from the hot tub… Our only disappointment was that we did not book more nights! Thank you Jane, so much.
