About this property
Hideaway House is a wonderful period Grade II listed semi-detached property, hidden away in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea on a quiet side road. It's just a stone's throw away from the delights of Wells quay and Staithe Street with its numerous shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. This delightful house is now a very well-equipped and maintained holiday home and is a great choice for two couples or friends searching for a quality property in a fabulous location with parking.
As the name suggests, Hideaway House is very much tucked away and is contemporary, yet comfortable with a seaside feel which you will all adore, whatever time of year you choose to visit. The spacious and colourful kitchen is a haven for food lovers, with a Smeg range cooker to prepare wonderful meals using the array of local produce available in the town itself. However, if you don't fancy eating in, then you are well placed to dine out, as you are so close to all the best restaurants, pubs and cafes. With the bakers only a short stroll away you can pick up warm croissants and brew some fresh coffee on your return using the fabulous coffee maker provided, before everyone awakes.
After a busy day at the beach or exploring the coast, relax in the light and airy sitting room making use of the bi-fold doors which open up onto the pretty walled south-facing courtyard garden. The courtyard basks in the sun in the afternoon and early evening, so there is no excuse not to shut your eyes and enjoy a siesta or a sundowner! When the nights draw in, head inside and cosy up in front of the wood burning stove and enjoy good conversation. On the first floor, you will find two large king-size bedrooms (one with an en-suite).
Wells-next-the-Sea boasts one of the best beaches in North Norfolk so enjoy lazy summer days sunbathing amongst the dunes and beach huts which are flanked by a stunning pinewood forest, or go for energetic embracing winter walks. If you are seeking some culture, then head to Holkham where you will adore the Hall, parklands and soft sands. If you don't want to go far but want some fun, hire a kayak or paddle board from the quay, or try a spot of gillying or crabbing (using whelks or bacon leftovers from breakfast as bait).
Cyclists will appreciate the covered storage area for bikes in the garden making it easy to explore the quiet lanes that make the area just outside Wells so special. If you prefer to be on foot, then walk the North Norfolk coastal path to Stiffkey or Holkham and you will be rewarded with stunning views and an abundance of bird and wildlife.
This property is also available to book for eight people, with two additional rooms opened up - Hideaway House.

Thank you for a lovely stay at the HIdeaway. Such a fantastic home in a perfect location. Plenty of fun was had with walks to the beach and making the most of all Wells has to offer. Spotted seals on the beach and even some Royals in the area! Great stay.

Our sixth stay here!! Loved the carnival events again and seeing seals on the beach and in the harbour for the first time. Great location as ever, peaceful yet close to everything. Enjoyed events at the Buttlands, live music has been great. Our last holiday with Mum (83) she has found loose rugs and lack of downstairs loo more of a challenge. Great hamper as ever!

Amazing stay. Absolutely lovely area. Can tell it is well looked after. Easy access to the high street and has everything you need. Sorry the bolt on the bedroom door came off, we replaced with new bolt but was waiting to see if you wanted to fit it. Thank you, and sorry again!
