Set in the heart of the popular seaside resort of Wells-next-the-Sea, Crow’s Nest has been thoughtfully renovated in 2020 to provide everything that discerning holidaymakers could need for a great seaside break, with solid oak floor, granite worktops in the kitchen, brand new heating system throughout the whole house and updated shower room. This gorgeous house now has three double beds and four single beds sleeping in ten in total. Complete with sea views, this semi-detached property boasts a spacious kitchen, light and airy living room and a peaceful, enclosed garden. Down in the cellar, you can take the film-watching experience to the next level with the cinema projector and state of the art surround sound and now connected to the internet for streaming services.
Offering parking, which is something of a novelty in Wells-next-the-Sea, guests may well be tempted to park their car up and stay within the town for the full duration of their stay. Popular with locals and tourists alike, this pretty little coastal town offers a beautiful quay, which lies just opposite Crow’s Nest, a mix of traditional seaside shops and artisan boutiques, great places to eat, potter, shop and more. There’s a narrow gauge railway that runs past the pitch and putt golf course down to the pine woods and wide sandy beach with its candy-coloured beach huts. From the quay itself, there are boat trips to fish or see the seals, and you may also see people “gillying”, the local term for catching crabs by hand line. The harbour is also home to Wells’ water ski club, sailing club and various other nautical pursuits. For a change of pace, hop in your car and head to Hunstanton, known by the locals as “Sunny Hunny”, but make sure you allow the time to explore the pretty coastal villages along the way. There are breathtaking marshes and pristine beaches scattered along the coastline that must be seen to be believed.
History buffs will be spoilt for choice with the medieval city of Norwich, with its fine Norman Castle, the Hanseatic Old Quarter of Kings Lynn, Royal Sandringham, Holkham Hall and the Blickling Estate all within easy reach. Equally, lovers of nature and birds will find a wide range of habitats from which to view the local wildlife. After a day’s sightseeing, you can retire to the sun room or the garden at Crow’s Nest and raise a glass to adventures yet to be had. The owners live nearby, so help is always at hand. Beach 100 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 100 yards.

Generally, a good venue and enjoyed by all. We are an elderly group so perhaps not the best venue to have chosen in the first place. Then we discovered the Coastliner bus we wanted went from The Butlands, not the lower road!!!! However, the High Street was enjoyed by all. The Courtyard well admired. Kitchen equipment, especially the knives for cooking with left a lot to be desired. Several found the very hard dining chairs most uncomfortable, perhaps cushions could help.
