About this cottage rental
Algerine Cottage is lauded for it's perfect location. A delightful, spacious, dog-friendly cottage situated within 100 yards of the quay in the stunning harbour of Wells-next-the-Sea, and close to local shops and amenities.
Tucked away up a narrow lane just off the harbour of this lively harbour town, Algerine is perfect place for soggy children and dogs to potter home to after a paddle. Tiled floors downstairs and a ground floor bathroom make this a popular choice for dog owners and active families who like to get down and dirty exploring the beaches and coastal path. The inclusion of a ground floor bedroom combined with the cottage's proximity to the town amenities means Algerine ticks the boxes for families of mixed ages and abilities, or those who wish to leave the car behind. With a well-equipped kitchen, coastal touches, one single bedroom, one king-size and two double bedrooms with plenty of storage, plus an additional shower room upstairs, Algerine Cottage is very practical whilst retaining the charm of an old fisherman's cottage. The cottage has gas central heating and two gas effect wood burning stoves in the sitting room and dining area, making it a great year round retreat for people looking for peace and quiet with everything on the doorstep, from pubs and shops, to miles and miles of scenic walks.
The lane is very narrow, meaning there is no designated parking for Algerine Cottage, the advantage being very little passing traffic. You're more likely to see alpacas wander past as they are taken on their walks round the back lanes and lokes of Wells. You can find free street parking nearby.
Additional Information:
Three well behaved dogs are welcome (small additional charge).
Travel cot and high chair available on request. Please bring your own mattress and linen for the travel cot.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2022
Spotless but loft hatch too small so cold draft when the wind blows. Downstairs curtain pulls both broken. Downstairs tiled throughout so would be cold in the autumn and winter. Close to amenities and parking was hit and miss.

A very well positioned, pretty property that looks great. On closer inspection there were bits that weren't in full working order, the manual for the heating didn't match the actual heating control, some curtains were broken, the sink didn't drain properly. The sofas weren't overly comfortable. The smallest room down stairs was fine when the door was open but when it had been shut you could smell damp in the room.
The property was lovely, don't get me wrong, it just lacked complete TLC which is what I would hope for when paying a large amount of money.
The position of the property completely made up for the complete TLC. A very short walk into Wells and the area is lovely and quiet with many great walks on your doorstep.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2018
Overall a good cottage in a good location, but there are some minor things that could be better or could have been pointed out in the details. As highlighted by other people, we did not have any parking issues at the property during our stay. We also enjoyed seeing the local Alpaca trek walking past the cottage and using the slipway at the bottom of the road for crabbing.
Examples of information that could have been provided:
Ceiling height upstairs is reduced at the point you go to one of the bedrooms and the shower room - this caused my husband to cut his head on 3 occasions within 24 hours of arrival and he is 5ft 10inches tall (so far from being unusually tall).
The enclosed courtyard is enclosed by a low gate that is easy for a young child to open and not suitable for leaving a young child in unattended. We had a very active 3 year old with us who we had to keep out of the courtyard during our stay.
The upstairs windows are low and easy for a young child to open and fall out of. We had to keep them closed at all times with improvised ties used to prevent any unwelcome accidents.
There are no wardrobes in any of the bedrooms except one.
There are no locks on the bathroom or shower room doors.
Examples of things that could be improved:
The size/number of saucepans provided is inadequate for large parties doing much cooking - a wok would be helpful.
The floor had not been cleaned prior to our arrival and the mop that was left in the property stank and needing replacing. There were no cleaning products provided so we had to get some bleach and floor cleaner to clean the floor so that it was ok to be played on by the 3 year old.
The shower room is very small and would benefit from somewhere to put your toiletries in either the shower cubicle itself or within the room.
There were rodents in the roof that had been pointed out at least 2 weeks prior to our stay.
I have said I would recommend but this would be for people that are shorter than 5ft 7 inches, don't have small children and not to be a group bigger than 4 or 5.
