E some said lumpy beds, small fridge, not much room around beds to be a few!! We would not agree at all - we thought the accommodation was very comfortable and clean and we had no complaints. It was very nice to sit outside in the sunshine with a drink in the afternoon when we had been out all day.

Perfect for travelling down the coast to wells etc. Wetroom was good for a wheelchair user, a little tight next to the beds but generally good to access throughout.

Easy access to the beach and long promenade with plenty of benches. A good base for travelling out and about. Would recommend Wells-by-the-sea.
