Newgates Cottage, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk

A secret little hideaway right in the heart of the town, less than a minute's walk from some lovely shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Bursting with character, this sweet but well-equipped character cottage will give you a lovely taste of the Norfolk coast.

Newgates Cottage, once part of The Chantry and dating back to the 17th century, still retains many of the original features, with latch doors and exposed beams throughout. Set over three floors, this charming mews style cottage offers comfortable and cosy accommodation for up to five people, and will appeal to families and friends who enjoy the convenience of being able to walk out of the door and find everything they need right on their doorstep. On the ground floor there is a good sized open-plan country style kitchen with adjoining dining area, and a handy shower room. The dual aspect spacious sitting room is on the first floor, along with a king-size bedroom and family bathroom. On the top floor is a triple bedroom with both a double and single bed. Outside there is a small sunny courtyard garden to enjoy.

It's only a five minute walk to the quay where you can try a spot of crabbing. From here, stunning Wells beach in a further fifteen minute walk. This quaint and vibrant seaside town ticks lots of boxes and offers something for everyone at any time of year.

Additional Information
The cottage is heated by Economy 7 storage heaters.
Two well behaved dogs are welcome (small additional charge).
This property is located in the heart of Wells, so there are some business deliveries nearby, including early mornings.

Wells next the sea stay
Easy to find great location by the high st and warf. Parking as discribed not outside was able to drop off and parked 5 mins away. This may be more difficult in busy season. The property is well equipped. The only two down sides were with an older member of the family and 1 with knee issue the furniture was very low and difficult to get out of for the younger of us it was fine. The 6am delivery's outside the property to the high st every morning were certainly an alarm to get started on the day. After the first day shock we joked about it..the delivery drivers certainly liked to shout their conversation down the street with little consideration for residents. But we would certainly praise the host for the lovely feel to the property 😊

Lovely break
We enjoyed a lovely break at Newgates Cottage. The cottage we knew was central to the town so expected noise especially being so close to shops. Lots of lovely pubs and shops so close which was perfect for us . The cottage catered well for our dog which was an added bonus . Lots of lovely walks on the door step . Thank you 😊
