In a fantastic setting, enjoying stunning views across the harbour, quay and marshes to the sea and pine woods beyond. The detached Pirates Lookout provides a great base for discerning guests seeking a well-appointed getaway, with a great mix of style and home comforts. This detached holiday property has been thoughtfully designed so that the living space, from which the views are simply breathtaking, is on the first floor, the vaulted living room offers patio doors on to a Juliet balcony so you can breathe in the sea air while taking in the vista. Thoughtfully designed, all the living areas and bedrooms have USB charging points fitted into a variety of well-placed sockets and all the bedrooms have their own LED TV with Freeview and DVD player built in!

Wells-next-the-Sea is popular with tourists and locals alike and offers a mix of traditional seaside and artisan shops and cafés, amusements and a narrow gauge railway that runs virtually from Pirates Lookout and takes you past the pitch and putt golf course down to the pine woods and beach, voted one of the best in the country. The much photographed quay is also a staging post for boat trips including fishing expeditions, booking boat trips to see the seals and is famous for its ‘gillying’ catching small crabs by hand line from the quay wall. Wells also has its own 9-hole pitch just 300 yards away and the two Links cliff top gorgeous golf courses, the Sharingham Golf Club and the Royal Cromer Golf Club. Horse riding is also available at the North Norfolk Riding School just 5 miles from the cottage, as well as various schools and stables along the coast.
The harbour is also the home of Wells Sailing club, Water Ski Club and other water sports and visiting yachtsmen from far and near. Wells offers something for all the family, including the 19th century ‘Albatross’ Dutch sailing barge on the quay, now used as a restaurant and bar with live eclectic music on Fridays, Saturday and most Sunday lunch times. A large well-appointed children’s playground and adjoining skate park, the cinema and theatre on Staithe Street and the myriad of boutique, craft and traditional shops, as well as the ever popular with children amusement arcades for rainy days. Why not try the local horse and cart rides or alpaca trekking along the fields and marshes? An experience the whole family will enjoy.
For all the fun of the fair, head to Hunstanton but making sure you take the time to explore the pretty seaside villages along the way. Enjoy the Sea Life Centre, visit the small fun fair or just relax on its beach with its famous cliffs and rock pools. There are National Trust properties and stately homes to explore too, including Holkham Hall and The Sandringham Estate, both of which host events throughout the year. Bird watchers will also be spoiled for choice with Norfolk being described as the ‘birdwatching capital of the UK’ and there are marshes and nature reserves aplenty to explore, including Titchwell Marsh, which is just a short drive away. With ample cycling routes and walks, water sports, fishing and golf, as well as great places to eat and to just potter around and unwind in, you really will be spoilt for choice. Children will also love the playground nearby. And, after a fabulous day out, you can kick off your shoes at Pirates Lookout, enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun go down while planning your next adventure. Shops 60 yards.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jan 2026
Very good location. As close as you can get to the walk to the beach or the beach bus stop. Immaculate children’s playground behind but, be warned, the playground noise started by 7.30am most days as we were lucky to have great weather. The top floor of the house is a nice space and worked well for us. The decor is outdated in the bedrooms and bathrooms, but we found the beds to be very comfortable. Kitchen equipment and utensils need some replacing and replenishing - eg. new chopping boards and more saucepans and a bit of a clean. Very good communication though from the property manager, who responded very quickly to requests. We found the parking to be ok, even though we had my 80 year old father with us and no blue badge (there are two disabled parking spots outside the house but they do get take up quite early). Car park opposite is busy during the day so was tricky to park when we arrived, but it empties out when day trippers leave, so we could move our car closer when we packed up.

Great location, comfortable facilities, some areas looking a little tired now but overall a wonderful stay - thank you A suggestion - we are happy to clean as we go but the cleaning equipment was lacking. A decent floor brush, cleaning cloths etc would be helpful and would make it easier for the clean down ready for next guests

Pirates Lookout was a perfect house for 2 families plus a dog. The house is in a brilliant location, right by the Quay, playground, shops and path to the beach (where we saw Seals one morning!) Some people have moaned about parking on here but the carpark is right by the house and we actually managed to park outside on the road a couple of times. A weeks ticket was around £30 for the carpark. The garden has a big table - enough for all 8 of us but this isn’t clear in any pictures. Hosts were amazing and really helpful. One of the televisions wasn’t working and within a day they had replaced it with a new one. Would definitely come back again - fell in love with this pretty seaside town.
