David

Cottage is delightful - we visited in December, Christmas tree was up and fairy lights, really nice touch - fantastic location - Everything you need is at the cottage

Nigel

A well-renovated and comfortable cottage in a great location in lovely Wells-next-the-Sea. The perfect base for a bus-assisted walk of the Norfolk Coast Path from Hunstanton to Cromer.

Don

Lovely traditional cottage but modernised. Great location. As one might expect, any tall guests might be challenged by low ceilings and especially by the in bath shower head which canâ??t be more than 1.80M high. If you can allow for this, youâ??ll have a most enjoyable stay. Three pubs within 2 minutes walk and parking nearby although this might be an issue during high season.

Anna

We absolutely loved our four-night stay at The Old Sweet Shop with our toddler! The cottage has been beautifully restored, has a great location, and is full of everything you need.

Carol

very quirky cottage in a good location close to all amenities.

Jim

A beautiful house in the heart of Wells. Restaurants and shops abound within minutes, and everything the North Norfolk coast offers is a short drive or bus journey away. People over about 5 foot 6 will need to take care upstairs, but the house is comfortably furnished throughout. The kitchen is small, but kitted out with everything you need, but there are so many great restaurants in the neighbourhood you may not bother.

Pauline

A lovely property, full of character, in a very pleasant part of Wells. Would definitely recommend it.

Rob

Great cottage in a lovely position, well provided meant for a great holiday

John

A superbly presented cottage that has been sympatheticly restored. We would definitely come back.

Paul

Recommended, the cottage is very comfortable and well situated within short walking distance of local pubs and the seafront.

Excellent location for shopping, eating sightseeing. Very comfortable beds too!

Carol

A lovely quaint old cottage, thoughtfully restored. Plenty of crockery and glasses. Very convenient for local shops and amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay and would not hesitate to return.

Nicola

We loved it, very homely and comfortable. Boys loved that it was an old sweet shop and were trying to find some that had been left! Also really enjoyed Monopoly with 7 year old
