About this property

Oyster Cottage, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk

Oyster Cottage is a wonderfully stylish and cosy little love nest just 100 yards to the harbour and sea in the pretty seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea. This gorgeous Fisherman's cottage will capture your heart with its stylish interior!

Nestled in the most delightful Jolly Sailor Yard, this is part of the history East Quay in the town. Lovingly and stylishly renovated to a high standard by the owners, this little bolthole features lime-washed beams, curved walls, old floorboards and finger latch doors. With Farrow & Ball colours throughout, this beautiful cottage is everything you would expect from a seaside retreat!

Ideal for couples, this beach retreat will capture your heart. Snuggle down with your loved one in front of the wood burning stove in the winter months and catch a view of the sea from the upstairs windows. You are just a stone's throw from enjoying a cup of tea or glass of wine on the East Quay with one of the best views in Norfolk. Choose to while an hour or two with a book or simply sit back and people watch! Although there is no garden, this little gem is delightful and of course you are in walking distance of all the shops and eateries that this bustling little seaside town has to offer!

6/10 Okay

Fabulous placed to enjoy Wells Next to the Sea - needs a few tweaks yo justify the cost.
This property is managed by an excellent company and more than happy to give them 5 stars. If a few tweaks were to happen I would have given the property 5 stars. Sad to say simple things missing ie Bread knife No freezer compartment so ice for a gin and tonic is not possible. Old wine glasses which have come to the end if their life and are so easily and cheaply replaced. No large glasses for water or beer. No shaver point in the bathroom (so unable to charge an electric toothbrush) so I recommend you leave a two pin adapter for guest to use. We sourced one from the hardware shop on Staithes Street. Sharp edges on the wooden double bed so the edges catch your legs when you walk passed. Starlings nesting in the eaves so you are disturbed during the night with them moving about, easily solved by filling in the holes. The floor in the living room had broken glass just near the settee very dangerous certainly not cleaned, given the colour of the soles of my slippers the floors were very dirty. No evidence of being mopped. And just on a safety note please make guests aware they step straight out on to (at times) a busy road.

Oyster Cottage October 2021
All in all a great cottage for two. We were out walking most days. This is a comfortable cottage to return to. The total lack of WiFi for the week was irritating.

10/10 Excellent

A charming cottage close to the marshes and heart of the town.
My husband and I have stayed at Oyster Cottage, Wells-next-the-sea twice now: once in 2019 and recently in October 2021. We think it is an utterly charming cottage: very cosy and comfortable. The rooms are smaller than what we are used to - we live in a large rambling old house - but are very cosy and well decorated. The staircase is quite steep and narrow, but care has been taken to ensure as much safety as possible so were not really a problem to us (in our late eighties and seventies and slightly “frayed around the edges”). It is sufficiently well-equipped to enable in-house eating, which we did most of the time with little effort. The location is very good: away from the main town area, so very quiet, but close enough for a quick stroll to its heart, and the marshes as well. We have always managed to park close by, which is an added bonus. All in all, a lovely place to “come home to” at the end of the day and we certainly intend to come again.

10/10 Excellent

Excellent cottage with quality finishes and quirky, appealing decor.
Greatly enjoyed our stay at Oyster Cottage. A few more wall and door hooks would be useful (particularly in the bathroom).
