Property info

Ideal for a family, couple or a solo traveller, Basil Cottage is a great base from which to explore this fun seaside resort.

Neighborhood info

Wells-next-the-Sea is a hub for North Norfolk coastal activities. From the picturesque harbour, where gilling for crabs is a must, you can walk, drive or catch the beach bus to the spectacular beach with its famous array of colourful beach huts and pine forest. Stop at the Beach Cafe afterwards for a drink and snack. At low tide see if you can spot the famous Lifeboat Horse sculpture standing proud in the mud near quay. Amble along Staithe Street, the bustling high street, with a flurry of independent shops, lovely tearooms, great gastro pubs, independent restaurants and The Wells Maltings, North Norfolk’s Landmark Cultural Centre with exciting events all year round. Start your day with a delicious coffee from Bang or Will's of Wells. If you love local seafood then booking a table at Wells Crab House is must. Pizza-lovers will adore the bold flavours served at Flour. Reward yourself after an active day with some of the best fish and chips in the area at French's, followed by locally made dessert from East Coast Gelato icecream parlour. Wells features a pretty, leafy green peaceful square, The Buttlands, which is surrounded by fine Georgian buildings and a lovely pub; The Globe. Catch the Coasthopper and enjoy exploring picturesque neighbouring villages such as The Burnhams. Breath-taking Holkham Hall and expansive Holkham beach can be found just a short journey down road. Hire a bike from the quayside and spend the day exploring the estate and local coastal paths. This stretch of beautiful coastline is a bucket-list destination for birders and walkers all year round.
