Bay Cottage Reviews

Paul
Great position in Wells, well appointed cottage, generous welcome gifts.
Elaine
Really lovely little cottage, perfect location and everything we needed.
Sally
The cottage had a good location near Wells harbour and was clean and well equipped with good quality items. Lots of walks and places to visit and we were blessed with perfect weather for the whole week.
Stephen
Quite small but a good "bolt hole" for two people. Fantastic location. Everything you need. Steep stairs could be an issue for some. Had a great holiday.
Steve
Fortunately the cottage was used as a base and was in a prime position.
David
A beautiful feature and character cottage, in a perfect location.
Mandy
Cosy and comfortable and ideally located
M
A small but lovely cottage in a lovely location. I know it was end February, but parking nearby was easy particularly after the end of half term. The stairs are steep but after we got used to them were fine. The walk to the beach and towards Burnham Overy Staithe, and the birds, were fantastic.
Michael
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, a nice short walk into the centre of town. The stairs are very steep with small treads so not ideal for small children. The toilet is at the top of the stairs with an outward opening door and a low door frame so mind your head. Whilst the property is pet friendly there is no private area for pets. No off street parking although there is on street near to the cottage, and a pay and display just down the road.
Alicia
We had a lovely stay at Bay Cottage. The cottage was clean, fully equipped and a perfect size for a couple and 1 dog. The location was idyllic with plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants within walking distance and just a short walk from access to the beach! Highly recommend staying here. We hope to be back soon.
Joanne
The stairs are very steep as stated in the description and this is certainly true so would be unsuitable for anyone who isnâ??t fully fit. Only a few minutes walk from the harbour which is lovely. The eateries on the harbour serve great food. Great location for all the beautiful beaches of north Norfolk.
Susan
Welcome pack on arrival was very good, we did purchase more apple juice after trying the one in the pack. Easy to find, we parked in the car park up the road. Very good location in Wells. Compact cottage with everything you need, the stairs were very steep but this was noted in the description when we booked.
Philip
We have stayed in this cottage several times before and hope to again. It is a lovely little cottage in a superb location. The service from Original Cottages is absolutely amazing and faultless.
Richard
Lovely cottage in an ideal location.
