About this house rental

Located in the vibrant and popular coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea, Lantern Cottage is a welcoming detached property, curated from traditional brick and flint, boasting all the practicalities needed for a comfortable group holiday. There is an enclosed garden, well-equipped kitchen, off-road parking, and comfortable bedrooms, plus the town's amenities, eateries, and the sandy beach are all reachable by foot.

The modern yet homely heart of the house, the dual aspect kitchen/ diner is bright and spacious, featuring a long table for gathering together to share meals. Inviting sofas appointed around the electric Dimplex stove make the sitting room a cosy haven on chillier evenings. Leading into the conservatory, this spot is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet moment with a morning coffee or good book. Bedroom three is conveniently located on the ground floor bedroom, offering privacy and easier access for those guests who might require it. Upstairs three further bedrooms are presented; a king-size with en-suite, a double, and bunk beds. A family bathroom ensures there is room for everyone after a hard day exploring, walking, or sandcastle building on the beach.

Outside, the fully enclosed garden is mainly laid to lawn, making it a safe place for supervised children and dogs to play. Fire up the barbecue on the south-facing patio area and let your cares melt away as you relax in the sun. And, after the sun goes down, switch on the outside lights and chat long into the evening. Parking for three cars is available on the shared driveway - a real bonus in Wells in high season. If you like to explore on two wheels, then your own bikes can be securely stored in the garage.

Lantern Cottage is located just a few minutes' walk from local shops, pubs, restaurants, and the harbour with magnificent views and beautiful beaches beyond. All in all, Lantern Cottage is the ideal hideaway for families and friends wishing to take a break together in this bucket-list destination.

Additional Information:
Two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
The bedding provided at the property is a mixture of synthetic and down.
Travel cot and high chair available on request. Please bring your own linen for the travel cot.

Long weekend in Wells

This was our first time in Wells and our first holiday with our husky Ava and it won't be the last. I will be booking the Lantern cottage again as everything was perfect - no complaints. Wells is an excellent location for anybody that has a dog as everywhere is geared up to accommodate. We spent 2-3 hours a day walking on the beach, which is excellent, then back in town for lunch. The Lantern cottage has a great location, very comfortable/clean and it was lovely to arrive to flowers/wine/cookies/dog treats. First class service.

Great family house

The house and location in relation to the harbour/town was perfect for our mixed aged family . Was surprised as quite a lot of road noise at times . Garden brilliant too . Get to beach car park early !! Gets full quickly and it’s a long walk from the other car park ( approx a mile ! )

Lantern Cottage provided a great base for our holiday. It was a short walk into the town centre and there was a lovely Co-Op supermarket practically next door. The house was very clean and well looked after on the whole, although we were very disappointed at the state of the kettle. It was unusable due to the level of scale and rust and although this had been mentioned previously in the guest book this had not been remedied. Apart from this, we would recommend the house to anyone who wants to explore the delights of North Norfolk.

Overall we had a lovely week in Wells. The cottage was well located and well equipped with off road parking and a great, child & dog friendly garden. We requested a cot and high chair which were great. In addition there was a great range of melamine children’s crockery. Drawbacks were as follows: 1. The place needs a really thorough clean - under beds & furniture, plus shower head in en-suite were particularly disgusting. 2. The beds and furniture in general were quite old and quite uncomfortable. 3. The blinds were thin and did not provide adequate blackout 4. There was a dog poo in the garden when we arrived. Despite its great location, i do not think we would rush back to stay at lantern cottage.

Pleasant House with garden but not as central as hoped
Pleasant House with garden but not as central as hoped
We had a pleasant stay, although the property was not as close to the sea front as we anticipated (but only a 10 min walk). The house was clean, but the sitting room too small if you had 4 adults and 2 children. The garden was a good size and appreciated by the dog (and if one had children). The kitchen lacked enough glasses and plates - especially if you had a full house of 4 adults and 2 children and had visitors. A decent house, but we wold choose an alternative property next time if we came back to the area.
