About this cottage rental

Algerine Cottage is lauded for it's perfect location. A delightful, spacious, dog-friendly cottage situated within 100 yards of the quay in the stunning harbour of Wells-next-the-Sea, and close to local shops and amenities.

Tucked away up a narrow lane just off the harbour of this lively harbour town, Algerine is perfect place for soggy children and dogs to potter home to after a paddle. Tiled floors downstairs and a ground floor bathroom make this a popular choice for dog owners and active families who like to get down and dirty exploring the beaches and coastal path. The inclusion of a ground floor bedroom combined with the cottage's proximity to the town amenities means Algerine ticks the boxes for families of mixed ages and abilities, or those who wish to leave the car behind. With a well-equipped kitchen, coastal touches, one single bedroom, one king-size and two double bedrooms with plenty of storage, plus an additional shower room upstairs, Algerine Cottage is very practical whilst retaining the charm of an old fisherman's cottage. The cottage has gas central heating and two gas effect wood burning stoves in the sitting room and dining area, making it a great year round retreat for people looking for peace and quiet with everything on the doorstep, from pubs and shops, to miles and miles of scenic walks.

The lane is very narrow, meaning there is no designated parking for Algerine Cottage, the advantage being very little passing traffic. You're more likely to see alpacas wander past as they are taken on their walks round the back lanes and lokes of Wells. You can find free street parking nearby.


Additional Information:
Three well behaved dogs are welcome (small additional charge). ​
Travel cot and high chair available on request. Please bring your own mattress and linen for the travel cot.

Spotless but loft hatch too small so cold draft when the wind blows. Downstairs curtain pulls both broken. Downstairs tiled throughout so would be cold in the autumn and winter. Close to amenities and parking was hit and miss.

Algerine Cottage is in a lovely quiet location just a very short walk from Wells Harbour and the perfect location to explore both Wells and the surrounding areas. We spent 4 nights there in March. Parking close by wasn't a problem. We dropped our luggage off and then went off to find suitable parking a few minutes walk away. The cottage is clean and tidy with all the basics required for a short break. The kitchen is well equipped and clean, although there is no microwave. There is ample hot water and towels. It's ideal for anyone looking for a basic holiday home with no frills in a great location. The small downstairs bedroom smelt strongly of damp as did the shower room upstairs and despite being hardy souls the bedrooms were freezing on the first night and the bedlinen felt damp. Once we'd tweaked the heating it was fine and the house rapidly heated up. Whilst it might have been a little cramped if the suggested occupancy of 7 stayed it was perfect for the 3 friends who shared the house for a short break, and we had a lovely 4 night break.

Enjoyed our stay and would come again, would prefer better quality mattresses and a front door that is easier to lock. Location and size is great

The cottage was comfortable and well equipped .. However I was disappointed that there was no welcome pack .we arrived late on Saturday evening .. Milk in the fridge would have been appriciated . 2 dishwasher tablets !! The towels were very small and had seen better days .the electricity meter was on the landing outside the bedroom and hums very loudly .. I reported it and an electrician arrived promptly but the meter does need replacing .i would gladly book this cottage again , but some little touches would greatly improve it .

We really enjoyed our stay at Algerine Cottage, however our main concern was the lack of a secure space for our dog. The courtyard was not really suitable for a dog, and the area smelt of other dogs and was not a use-able space to relax or eat in. The gates were not at all secure which meant that our dog was able to get in to a garden three doors away from our property. The owner of that property did say that she very often has visiting dogs in her garden that leave 'deposits' for her! Over all the cottage was very clean and in a perfect location to access the town and the beach. We would recommend Algerine Cottage if the court yard problem could be addressed.

The outside courtyard was in need of cleaning and decorating, it was not good . Parking no problem after weekend . The road is a walk through with a low level of noise late at night, amplified by brick walls. We had a complaint from a neighbour, later retracted ) about talking on mobile phones outside our door . I apologised, but would not stay here again. A minor point, the towel supply is poor, advise you take your own, large and fluffy ones. We bought some ! The white goods are excellent, as is the gas fire. Space downstairs good also

A very well positioned, pretty property that looks great. On closer inspection there were bits that weren't in full working order, the manual for the heating didn't match the actual heating control, some curtains were broken, the sink didn't drain properly. The sofas weren't overly comfortable. The smallest room down stairs was fine when the door was open but when it had been shut you could smell damp in the room. The property was lovely, don't get me wrong, it just lacked complete TLC which is what I would hope for when paying a large amount of money. The position of the property completely made up for the complete TLC. A very short walk into Wells and the area is lovely and quiet with many great walks on your doorstep.
