Oyster Cottage is a wonderfully stylish and cosy little fisherman’s cottage just 100 yards from the east harbour. This gorgeous character cottage with wood burning stove and comfortable furnishings is a popular choice for returning guests throughout the year.
Nestled in the most delightful Jolly Sailor Yard, Oyster Cottage is tucked down a quiet lane with no through traffic except for pedestrians, bicycles and the occasional alpaca. 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 could dream from a seaside retreat!
Ideal for couples or with a second single bedroom, this memorable retreat will capture your heart. Snuggle down in front of the wood burning stove in the winter months and wander into town for an unlimited choice of eateries and attractions. You can walk for miles along the coast path from the bottom of the lane, taking your through nature reserves, vast sandy beaches and quaint coastal villages.

A delightful small fisherman's cottage in an ideal location very close to the east Quay in Wells Next the Sea. Beautifully appointed, cosy and welcoming. Comfy beds. We would be very pleased to return in the future.

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
