About this house rental
This gorgeously stylish and well-equipped seaside retreat, set over three floors with balcony and distant sea views, sits in the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea and is only a five-minute walk to the quay, shops, pubs and restaurants which make this little coastal town an all-year round destination. Set in a small, quiet development, The Moorings is a stylish and well-equipped townhouse, which is perfectly placed to explore the beautiful beaches and all the local visitor attractions which populate this bustling town.
With practical flooring, whitewashed walls, stylish furnishings with pops of colour, this attractive seaside retreat is a wonderful place to relax for either a couple seeking space, a family, or group of friends who want to be close to everything that Wells-next-the-Sea offers. On the ground floor you'll find a shaker-style kitchen where everything is provided for cooking up a Norfolk feast of locally-sourced produce. With toasty under-floor heating, your toes will be delightfully warm as you scramble your eggs in the morning! There is also a balcony leading off this room so you can enjoy a morning coffee outside. Head upstairs and you will be greeted by a spacious first floor living space with comfortable furnishings, where on a winter's afternoon you can enjoy snuggling into the sofas in front of the Smart television. Open the doors to the Juliette balcony, and on a clear sunny day you will catch glimpses of the sea. On this floor you will also find the master bedroom, which comes with a king-size bed and en-suite. On the second floor there are a further two bedrooms; one twin and a double. Windows to the rear of the property also provide distant views of the sea and allow light to flood in.
The sun shines on the little terrace at the back of the cottage in the morning, but in the summer, catch the rays to the front of the house, perfect for a relaxing coffee while planning the day's adventures. A rarity for Wells-next-the-Sea, the property also comes with off-street parking too!

Our grandchildren loved the house as soon as they explored it. We all liked it too because it had good parking, an ideal location and it was very comfortable. Our suggestions are just minor things that were missing such as salt & pepper and a potato peeler. The shower head in the en-suite would not stay in position. Other than that pretty perfect.

Lovely location. Very easy access to Wells and north norfolk coast. A great area for visiting national trust.

The Moorings was an ideal place for 6 adults to stay over the Christmas period, just a short walk from Staithe Street and from the harbour with its fun Christmas tree made of lobster pots, buoys and all things marine. There was adequate parking for 2 cars off-road. The house was clean, spacious, warm and very well equipped. A large Christmas tree stood in the sitting room on the first floor, and the observation area on the second floor with a comfortable armchair and binoculars proved to be a popular retreat.
Despite Covid restrictions being still in place we were treated to a hamper of delicious local treats on arrival. All in all, voted the perfect Christmas holiday. Many thanks.

The Moorings was chosen for being in Wells-next-the-sea but off the main road and within easy reach of the town and coast. It had two parking spaces and the house was spacious, comfortable and light.
We found the decking and outside furniture ok but cushions rather flat, though decking may have been slippy in the wet as looked mossy.
Unfortunately the house needs a lot of maintenance with doors jamming on the floors, external doors and windows needing renovating/repainting, the en-suite shower was very mouldy and leaked into the tray rim which could have overflowed if not spotted.
On using items in the kitchen we found many to be greasy and finger marked so ran all through the dishwasher again then to find dishwasher needed salts and rinse aid and filter to be cleaned out. Rinse aid available but not salts (counter to the instructions which said they would be available) so needed to purchase. The kitchen equipment was pretty poor with sharp knives not cutting well, no tongues, grill pan handle broken, few forks and no pint glasses. On the plus side there were loads of plates and bowls and most other equipment we needed to cook with.
There were also many bulbs out both in lamps and in spot lights in ceiling. We looked for the spare bulbs for lamps but not correct ones available. There was also only one lamp in the lounge so needed to move some from spare bedroom and landing. There were candles in the lounge which surprised us but no matches found to light them with.
The second double bedroom had no wardrobe so used the one in the twin room - this would have been difficult if other adults using twin room. Also the mirrors on second floor were small or high and not near a plug for hair drying.
Bedrooms on the road side were not dark at night as there were street lights on all night. They would benefit from blackout curtains.
As we checked in about 5pm on a Friday and office not open until Monday it was difficult to talk through all the issues we found within the four hour window given to report them and many of the issues not coming to light until the house had full use.
We trust that many of the above issues will be dealt with over the winter time but some are simple and should be picked up by housekeeping after each checkout. I would stay in the house again if I know that all the above issues are dealt with as it was convenient, comfortable and quiet.
