Upwell is a small and charming village resting amidst the glorious Norfolk countryside, just 18.9 miles away from King’s Lynn. The villages of Upwell and Outwell were once collectively known as 'Welle' or 'Welles' and even today, it is not obvious where one village starts and the other ends. Within this attractive waterside village, you will find a host of amenities. Until 1960s, Wisbech tramway connected the village, however, when it closed a preservation society arose, led by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry, who is known as the author of the Thomas the Tank Engine books. Today, you can discover the history of the tram, which provided much of the inspiration for the classic children’s stories by exploring the Outwell and Upwell walk. Alternatively, explore the historic town of King’s Lynn, home to a vibrant town centre and several endearing cobbled lanes, as well as the impressive Custom House, which overlooks the harbour. From Upwell, you can also visit the towns of Downham Market and Wisbech, or if you are feeling adventurous, explore the open landscapes of the Fens, as well as the Wildfowl and Wetland Centre in Welney. Upwell make a wonderful base for exploring surrounding Norfolk with your loved ones.

Annex is comfy and has all you need. Beautiful quiet surrounding area. Sean and Val helpful, friendly and good with our large dog! Enclosed garden perfect for the dog. Pool and hot tub a bonus. Lovely to see the horses, especially little Arthur. Will definitely be back.
Julie
The swimming pool, jacuzzi,and sauna we're a real bonus. The two things that we're a little bit disappointing was the power shower kept going hot and cold and not a lot of power. The other thing was the property had a lot of damp and smelt musky where the walls were very damp in the front bedroom and living room
Ben
Owners are friendly and very helpful. Wished we could have stayed longer. Will be looking to return in the future
