Bakers House, Wells Next Sea
About this house rental
A superbly appointed, very special 17th Century 4 bedroom holiday home in the popular North Norfolk seaside town of Wells next Sea, winner of the UKs best beach 2016 in the Sunday times. The house is comfortable and stylish accommodation for ten+ and perfectly positioned for the quayside, shopping on Staithe street and gourmet meals on the historic Butlands. It is furnished and decorated throughout in a fresh, contemporary style, with a light and airy feel to all the rooms. Dogs very welcome. We have lovingly renovated Bakers House to create a fabulous family home. The kitchen/dining/family room is perfect for socialising with friends and family - the glazed canopy roof above the dining room is a striking feature that floods the inner areas with light. A spacious open plan kitchen area with adjoining living room allows friends and family to spend quality time together while preparing meals. Children can play on the rocking horse with you while you cook ! The 4 bedrooms and 4 WC/shower rooms comfortably accommodate 10 guests. The outside seating area and garden is pretty and spacious and has parking for 3 cars. The house is perfectly positioned within the heart of the bustling coastal town of Wells-Next-the-Sea next to the picturesque quay, and numerous pubs, cafes, restaurants and shops. From the spacious bedrooms you can glimpse the sea beyond Holkham and the boats floating in the harbour where the children also fish for crabs. The house was originally built as 2 separate houses for 2 families and it is rumoured as many as 36 people used to live there. A fisherman’s grave stone in the Wells cemetery says he lived in the house in 1695. In the loft some of the old ships beams still have the rope tied round them that was used for the ships rigging 400 years ago. We have named it Bakers House because as recently as 1970 it was a Bakery selling their wares through the kitchen window. We only finished renovating the house in February and are offering introductory pricing for the remainder of the year. Your host is on hand throughout your stay to answer any questions and advise on the great places to visit and eat out. Wells-next-the-Sea is one of the most attractive towns on the North Norfolk Coast. The beautiful sandy beach, with its pine trees, sand dunes and colourful beach huts, stretches for miles towards Holkham and was famously featured in the film Shakespeare in Love. Just off the Quay you can catch the miniature steam train that takes you the mile or so down to the beach. Popular with holiday makers and birdwatches alike, you can spot oyster catchers and ringed plovers, who nest on the beach, along with some common and little terns. The town has a maze of narrow streets, old alleys and yards, filled with shops, pubs and cafes and there are many listed and impressive Georgian and Victorian buildings. The area around Wells provides opportunities for sightseeing, water sports, bird watching, country walks and plenty of family fun. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has lots to offer. Wells is an unspoiled seaside destination, waiting to be discovered and is perfect for a family seaside holiday, couples get away, walking, bird watching or just groups of friends relaxing. There is parking for 3 cars. The local coast hopper bus stop, is right outside !

Wonderful Property for family holiday
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here; the location is excellent for the town and visiting the beach. The property is very comfortable and furnished to a high standard with everything needed for a break away. All family enjoyed the space and garden ( necessary with a small dog) and parking was a big bonus. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Bakers house is in great location in Wells next the sea. The house was very clean and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The only slight negative would be for those with mobility problems who might struggle to access the shower room as the stairs are extremely steep. We would definitely book again.

Our stay in Wells Next To the Sea this Xmas 2019 was Fantastic!
The property was better than we expected and accommodate our family of 10 no problem.
the owner's had even arranged to have some decorations put up for our arrival.
The location just up the road from the quay was brilliant, as we could easily get to shops, pubs, and restaurants within a 5 minute walk.
Having parking for 3 large cars was a real bonus with our booking but to be honest, we never used the cars again until we had to leave for home as it is so easy to get around this fantastic area by walking.
We only had one problem during our stay, and that was having to leave!
Our family group consisted of Students and Grandparents with an age range of 19 to 86 and every one thought it was the best Xmas Break we have ever had, and that is priceless.
Thank you all so much
We hope to return again in 2020

Very pleased with accommodation and we all thought that the beds were extremely comfortable. TV was good once we got used to it. We arrived on Friday when it was dark and pouring with rain. We wondered whether an outside light had been considered? Minor point and we would certainly recommend this property. Excellent location as well.
