Sea Shanty Cottage - Norfolk Cottage Agency

The cottage is very well situated within Wells Next the Sea and very easy to pop out to shop/eat. We loved Wells and Norfolk - it was our first visit. Overall we found the accommodation to be rather basic/small. The lighting in the living room was very poor with just one side light and the rest ceiling spots which made it difficult to read and create a sense of cosiness - a minor issue in the grand scheme of things but we stay in a lot of holiday cottages where soft touches and decor (e.g. pictures on walls) are important to us. The 2 major issues for us however were the black mould on all the corners of the window frames and glass that and the sink in the family bathroom was INTOLERABLY minute- totally impossible to wash face or teeth without cascading water onto the floor. There were no bathmats provided in either bathroom so we had to use a hand towel from the twin room which was less than ideal. Really disappointing as the 2 bathrooms otherwise were nicely done. The kitchen was lovely and light and well stocked however the welcome pack woefully poor (again in comparison to other places we have stayed). We did have a lovely holiday overall but you did ask for feedback so hence the comments. In saying this we would recommend the cottage to others as so well positioned for the town and the area.

We loved our stay at Sea Shanty Cottage, the cottage has been renovated to a very high standard, it was well stocked with everything we needed for a stay and the heating had been put on prior to our arrival. The location was superb, an easy walk to the main shopping street with a Deli, butcher, grocer, fishmonger, bakery and mini markets available aswell as restaurants and takeaways. The short walk down to the quay and to the beach provided plenty of exercise and our dogs loved the dog beach. The firestick was a bonus on the day when it poured down and we had a cosy day in the cottage. Our daughter loved the top floor suite with it's stunning views. The beds were all very comfortable, we'd happily stay here again. The only downside to this property was the lack of parking, we bought a week ticket for the nearest public car park, which was very reasonable in price and there was plenty of space in February but I'd worry about where to park in the summer season when parking spaces are limited, other than this minor detail the cottage itself and location was faultless and we really enjoyed our stay.

Sea Shanty cottage is beautifully decorated, comfy and cosy home from home. The location is perfect right in the middle of Wells. The shops, Delis and restaurants are only a few minutes walk away. The Quay and beaches are within walking distance and the town is so dog friendly. We will definitely be staying here again.
