Blackhorse Cottage

The North Norfolk coast around Wells-next-the-Sea rewards exploration. Walk or drive to Blakeney for crab-catching, take a boat trip to see seals, reach Cromer's pier and seafront, or head west to Hunstanton's traditional seaside attractions. The Holkham, Houghton and Sandringham estates lie within reach for those interested in history. The immediate area itself has enough to occupy a week: the wide sandy beach with its painted huts, the quay where fishing boats sit at anchor, and Staithe Street's cafes and independent shops.

Blackhorse Cottage is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom property sleeping 6, arranged across two floors. The ground floor holds a living room with woodburner and TV, a kitchen with range cooker and dining space, and a bathroom with bath and shower. Upstairs are three bedrooms: one double with its own toilet, one with bunk beds, and one with two singles. Wi-Fi, bed linen, towels and heating costs are included; one dog stays free. No smoking throughout.

The cottage sits on a quiet lane close enough to walk to the beach and town centre. It's a setting that suits families wanting a proper coastal base, or anyone who plans to stay put and gradually get to know the Norfolk coast and its villages.
