The house is beautiful and has everything you need. It was no problem finding a parking space near the cottage. It's only a short walk into town where you can find lovely little shops with local and unique products. The only thing we missed was some seat cushions for the garden chairs. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great Cottage, ideal location

We had a lovely, comfortable stay at Hebe Cottage. It was very clean and had everything needed for an enjoyable holiday. The weather was beautiful all week, so we didn't spend a lot of time inside, but the bonus was a lovely garden to sit outside on a Summer evening. The location is perfect - really close to the shops and also some great local pubs, but very peaceful too. We would love to return in the future. Thank you Liz & James

The cottage is in the perfect location close to shops but quiet. It was very well supplied and true to its pictures. The check in was just getting the key from the key box. My only concern was the stairs which are hard to navigate for older people . They could be improved by the addition of more railing

Lovely cottage

Very well situated for all amenities, well furnished and comfortable. The only thing we did not like were the spiral stairs, but maybe because we are pensioners. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Excellently presented and situated cottage.

We thought this high spec cottage was ideally placed for seeing the interesting streets and quayside of Wells Next the Sea. Stairwell rather steep though so fitness is required.

The cottage is gorgeous, very comfortable with everything you need for your stay. It’s in a perfect location, so close to the shops in Wells leading to the harbour. Definitely recommend staying here but be careful on the staircase as the stairs are very steep. We were very lucky as the weather was perfect.

Beautiful cottage, perfect location

We had an amazing week at Hebe cottage. The weather wasn’t great, but the location of the cottage made up for it. Being in the centre of the town made our holiday perfect as we could pop in and out easily. We only went out in the car once in the whole week. The kids loved crabbing and taking part in all the amazing carnival activities and music. Thanks so much, we’ll definitely be back!

Hebe Cottage

This is the first holiday rental we have ever been to where there was no personal note from the owner and not even a pint of milk in the fridge or a packet of biscuits. This was very dispiriting especially at Christmas.

About the host

Hosted by Liz and James Hitchcock

Host profile image
Hebe Cottage is owned by Liz and James. We fell in love with Wells and North Norfolk and followed our dream of owning a cottage there. We bought Hebe Cottage in November 2014 and have enjoyed furnishing it as well as staying there as we prepare to welcome guests. We have two young children, hence our experience of Norfolk is from a family perspective, however we are looking forward to learning more as the family grow up. We hope you enjoy Hebe Cottage as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We chose Hebe Cottage because of its proximity to the stunning beach at Wells.

As a family we have spent a lot of time cycling to enjoy the countryside and visit some of the local attractions. There are a huge number of events taking place throughout the year so it is also worth while checking out what's on before booking.

We are constantly surprised by the quality and number of places to visit; it really is a very special place.

What makes this property unique

We love the fact that we can walk to shops, high quality restaurants and even the beach.

The cottage is light and airy with a beautiful outside space meaning that we can enjoy evenings bbq-ing in the sun. It's rare in Wells to find such a secluded space at the heart of the town.
