The Ship

About this property

Formerly the living quarters for a pub frequented by Horatio Nelson, this characterful property now makes a lovely holiday home for families and friends. Offering cosy, light-filled accommodation for up to seven guests, the cottage has been stylishly updated, with tasteful and quirky decor, and an attractive range of furnishings throughout. Set in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea, this delightful hideaway features exposed beams and brickwork, and provides a fantastic backdrop for walkers, nature lovers and beach fans exploring an idyllic part of Norfolk.

Entering the property, the welcoming lounge has a beamed ceiling, a TV and plenty of seating, providing a comfortable space to unwind at the end of a fabulous day out. The stylishly arranged kitchen/diner has plenty of equipment so you can cook and share all your favourite dishes. On the first floor you will have a choice of three light, relaxing bedrooms: one king-size, a twin and a single. The bathroom and shower room are also on this floor. Steep ladder-style stairs lead up to the second floor where you will find a fantastic loft-style twin bedroom. A second loft space has seating offering views out over the quay and towards the sea. Outside, there’s an enclosed front patio, and a charming furnished terrace which can be reached from the first floor and makes a lovely space to sit out and take in the sunshine as you settle back with a glass of wine in the evening.

Wells has a wealth of great places to eat and drink, alongside a working quay, a golf course and delightful beach. From Morston Quay (7 miles) you can take a boat trip out to spot the grey seal colony at Blakeney Point. Also nearby are Pensthorpe Natural Park, Holkham Hall and the ruins of Creake Abbey, all within 12 miles.
