    Everything the location is fabulous. Having a garden for the dog is great and parking for at least 3 cars at the back of the property is a plus for Wells Next the Sea!

    The back patio door could do with a screen or blind. But this wouldn't stop me staying there again.

    Cosy, clean and you can tell the place is loved. The beds are super comfy.

    Unfortunately the freezer was filthy. The counter tops in the kitchen could have been cleaner. We thought there was supposed to be a dvd player but couldn't find it. We also had difficulty with the door keys not fitting properly

    The house was in a great location. It was very roomy. The kitchen and dining area was amazing.

    Very difficult to think of anything meaningful, a potato masher could be useful !

    Located minutes from the harbour in a very quiet road. the west facing patio and garden had full sun until it went down and were very sheltered; perfect for sitting outside in the evening. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped with plenty of space. All just what we wanted.

    Great location with ample off-road car parking - a bonus in Wells. Easy walking distance to Staithe Street, pubs and the Quay. Comfortably holds 6 people, and a very nice dining area which seats 6. We'd happily return. Expensive but everything in Wells is very expensive. We could have had 2 weeks in Spain flights included for what 3 nights in Wells cost.

    Location was excellent as just a few minutes walk from the quayside and shops, restaurants and pubs, and only a 20 minute brisk walk to the beach. The enclosed garden was great for the dog, on and off street parking good. House was pleasantly refurbished and the open plan kitchen diner with link out to the garden would be great in the warmer months.

    I'd be being very picky but the guest towels were a little worn and I couldn't find an outside light directly on patio.

    The location was great, just out of the hustle and bustle but only a short walk and there was entertainment, food and drink. The securely fenced garden was great for the dogs and parking at the back was good as I would have been wary of parking on such a narrow road. The instructions left for operating shower, water and heating etc. were straightforward and easy and the touristy info was helpful.

    Nothing, everything, and I mean everything as I would have wanted it.

    Location, nice quiet cul-de-sac, no noise whatsoever, a short walk to town centre - Well's main street, a short walk to Quay, plenty or room to park at back but was able to park right outside front door enabling easy unloading and loading. I will return.

    the shower, could not adjust it. could do with a better quality shower and also a shelf and grab bar ,for an older couple not really good enough. grass in back garden was long when we arrived and was cut at the end of our week after we mentioned it, should be cut every week this time of year. two small points worth considering.

    close to town

    The duvets were thin, not really suitable for winter. The sofas were not very comfortable and the kitchen was not really well appointed if you were planning to stay for a long time/do lots of cooking. Some of the decoration was quite tired (scuffs and bashes on walls, around radiators etc).

    Location was great, property was quiet and there was private parking. It was also warm with the heating on. Perfect for a short stay to explore Wells and if you were planning to eat out for the majority of meals.
