Guest Reviews
- Catherine (10/5): Really lovely stay in this comfortable apartment. A short walk away from the harbour and shops, but quiet and peaceful l - Spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet A few things were missing in the kitchen, we’d have loved a couple of smaller sharp knives and a few more small glasses and cups.
- Markfarey (10/5): - Amazing location, price and extremely comfortable clean apartment.
- Bob (9/5): A modern and spacious property, in an excellent location - great for families and friends. - The location was excellent, just a few minutes walk to the waterfront. The living room/dining room was a great place to spend time together. Nothing really...
- Lynn (8/5): -
- Rachel (9/5): X - X X
- Alastair (6/5): Well located - The property is well located and clean, this place accepts dogs and to its credit you can’t tell in terms or any smells etc. The mattress (single bed) was well used and could ideally do with replacement, I had a couple of average sleeps.
- Julie (10/5): Perfect little retreat near the harbour in Wells! - Lovely quiet road a short 5 minutes walk to the quay. The property was perfect for our needs. Super clean, bright airy and comfy with everything you could possibly need. Off road parking for two cars. My dog absolutely loved watching passers by from the Juliette balcony in the living area! We are regular visitors to Wells and will definitely stay here again! 🙂 No negatives! Everything was perfect!
- Sally (8/5): Apart from the above, the flat was fine - Breakfast not included We found it difficult to find the property. There is no name on the house, the description and map provided did not make it obvious which house we were looking for. Even though the cleaner was there she spoke little English and wrongly told us the house was not the one we were looking for. Fortunately one of the neighbours appeared and confirmed which house we were looking for. Otherwise I think we would not have found it
- Rod (8/5): A lovely few days, home from home. - The property was in a good location. It was light and airy and very comfortable. Nothing
- Joanne (10/5): Will definitely be back! - Great location, sunny and comfy and very clean N/a
- Hayley (8/5): -
- Christine (9/5): - Great location and really good value for money especially as there is no extra fees for the dogs, we will stay here again next time we come to Wells, but probably will stay in the ground floor apartment. The kitchen is well equipped No garden or outside space
- Colin (8/5): Quaint fishing port. - Good location with plenty of parking. Nice, bright lounge/kitchen. Comfy sofas. Good shower. Quiet at night. TV reception patchy, resorted to watching the iPad.
- Suzanne (8/5): Great for a mini break, would definitely stay again - Location is perfect, spacious and comfortable. Short walk from everything in Wells.
Dogs welcome. Balcony is lovely to have open on a sunny day. It’s in need of some TLC. A few minor things and touch ups required.
- Simon (9/5): Great location. Quiet. Park right outside. 5 minutes walk to town/sea - Location. Internal space excellent. Nothing
- James (9/5): Great find for your trip to the Norfolk coast! - Excellent location, very close to centre of Wells next the Sea. Also fantastic with flexibility around taking dogs! Nothing, it was all great!
- Julie (8/5): - The pillows
- Barford (9/5): - Modern clean apartment. Location was great. Parking right outside. Tea, coffee, washing up liquid, condiments all provided. Nothing.
- Drusilla (9/5): Lovely for a weekend away from ilthe hustle or life. - The property was perfect for a short break

- Vicki (8/5): Lovely relaxing stay apart from 5 hours ! - Convenient location to the town Unfortunately on the Saturday evening a house in the local area has such loud music it disrupted our evening , stopped at approx 11pm but for 5 hours plus the noise was awful
- Chantelle (10/5): - The Jolly Sailors retreat was ideal for our short stay in Wells; it was very clean and equipped with everything you would need.
Enough room for 4 people and only a short walk into Wells for the restaurants and shops.
We would definitely book to stay here again.
Thank you

- Margaret (10/5): - Beautiful apartment in a very handy location
- Allan (9/5): - Nearly everything Very comfortable Wrong pin code for door entrance , didn't receive it till we arrived
Couldn't regulate shower adjacent to twin bedroom,far to hot, wouldn't get any cold water
But these are very minor complications
- Richard (10/5): -
- Jill (10/5): -
- Sandra (9/5): Perfect weekend away with friends the accommodation had everything we wanted and was in the perfect - Amazing warm, cozy very clean flat, would definitely book again. This is not criticism but an observation, the bath mat was very slippy, maybe some mat / rug gripper would just do the job.

- Jane (10/5): A comfortable stay in a cleam and well equiped apartment. Easy access to local amenities. - Cleam well equiped apartment which was in a good location. Easy to access the town and the coast path. Signage on front of property to identify name and flat number.
- Julie (10/5): -
- Lesley (7/5): We enjoyed our stay - N/A There was a lot of cobwebs above the beds , which we had to remove , apart from that it was nice flat , we situated
- Michelle (9/5): Lovely short break - Central to the town. Clean and comfortable. The position of the TV means you need the volume on quite high whilst on the settee. We were mindful of disturbing neighbours but couldn’t hear it otherwise.
- Paul (9/5): Great short stay - Close to the town and quayside, clean and comfortable The tv coverage was spasmodic,
- Sarah (9/5): Pleasant stay in our favourite sea side town. Would definitely recommend. - Very spacious and comfortable. Close to the town. Nice to be left some milk etc. Hard to find had to call owner who was very helpful. A sign on the property might be useful?
- Simon (9/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): -
- Cathy (8/5): Perfect for two friends. - A short walk to the quay and shops.
Separate bathrooms for both bedrooms.
Well equipped and comfortable flat. Bottom step of stairs much deeper than the rest so a hazard when walking down.
Slipshod paint job would look better if refreshed.
Showers tend to spray out of the cubicle.
Double bed uneven mattress.
- Karen (10/5): Amazing!!! Would love to retire there! - Everything! Fantastic location to town. Beautifully decorated, clean - added extras fab like tea, coffee, washing up liquid etc. Already planning to come back next year - just hope you have availability! We really struggled to find the house - I don’t believe the house had its name on it (might be helpful for others for the future)
- David (8/5): Comfortable and well situated property - Great location close to quayside and shops/restaurants The shower was not particularly powerful
- Terry (10/5): -
- Paul (9/5): -
- John (10/5): -
- Charlotte (9/5): Brilliant location, very clean and comfortable facilities, good parking. -
- Lea (6/5): Pleasant - The house was decorated and styled well It was an ex council house converted into three flats, and is obviously located on an ex council estate.
There were no flat numbers on the walls, so you have to guess which is your apartment
There is a garage in the garden but you can't shut the door on it (we wanted to store our bikes in there) as a lump of concrete been dumped there.
The TV didn't work properly for duration of stay, kept missing reception
- Helen (10/5): Exceptional - Super place, Super communication with the hosts, no complaints at all. Will hopefully book the place again sometime, but for a longer stay next time.
- Juliet (8/5): A fabulous place to unwind and enjoy Wells. - A lot to like. Great location - short walk from the quay. Everything someone would need in a rental. Comfortable. Furnishings lovely. Really well thought out when it comes to cooking requirements etc, soap at all sinks, dishwasher tablets, tea and coffee etc. I am sorry to say that it was dirty. I don’t mean quick cleans like bedding , towels,surfaces and floors - these were perfect. But in a long term way - the kitchen sink was tea stained and brown as were the cups, the showers and shower mats were brown, mouldy and the plug hole in one bathroom so clogged the shower was overflowing .
- Stephen (9/5): Superb -
- Yvonne (8/5): Very good - Very clean and facilities high quality.
Parking good.
Having 2 bathrooms. No signage at flat, difficult to find .
TV kept going off.
- James (9/5): Superb -
- Janice (6/5): Disappointing - Great location Apartment difficult to find, no signage or flat/door numbers. Delayed response from hosts when telephoned, resulting in us waiting in the area for 45 minutes to confirm it was, in fact, the correct property, plus we needed the key code number to gain access
TV did not work properly. This appears to be an ongoing issue.
Cleaning not to a high standard, mould in the shower, and cobweb
- Hollie (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, great facilities, would definitely stay here again
- Hannah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Louise (10/5): Perfect I didn't want to come home - thank you. - Location was perfect, accommodation clean and all the space and facilities we needed. Everything was great nothing we didn't like.
- Gary (9/5): Lovely stay - The location is excellent and only a 5 - 10 minute walk from the harbour. Co-Op supermarket is a 10 minute walk or a short drive away. The apartment is spacious and we stayed in the 2 bedroom upstairs one which had ample parking. Would definitely stay again. There is a Chinese takeaway 200 yards along the road which we found handy as if you know Wells you will know the chip shops and restaurants close quite early for some strange reason. Small hiccup on arrival but was dealt with speedily by the owners so no need to expand any further.
A washing machine would be a useful addition to an otherwise well equipped apartment
- Nicola (8/5): Very good - Property stated it had a garden with furniture. This did not exist.
- Josie (9/5): Superb - A nice bright and pleasant apartment. Great location as only a short amble down to the quay The interior stairs were a little steep but we live in a bungalow so haven't used stairs for more than 30 years
- Robert (8/5): Very good - Great location, plenty of space and good value for money.
- Rita (9/5): Superb -
- Melanie (7/5): Good - Close to the town centre
- Sarah (8/5): Very good -
- Oluwaseun (10/5): It was an exquisite and beautiful home but a provision of air freshener would have made it better. - Everything was just as described. Well Crab House Restaurant was a lovely place to enjoy late night seafoods. Holkham Beach serenity satisfied my natural taste of tranquility. I love it there. I would definitely patronize them on another visit Air freshener would have been provided especially in the toilets
- Emma (10/5): Loved our stay in the Jolly Sailors Retreat! Comfortable, clean and great location - would highly recommend 😍 - Great location, clean, comfy and had everything we needed!
- Julie (7/5): Comfortable accommodation and quiet neighbourhood. - Very convenient location for a short stay.
Good parking. Television reception poor.
- Steve (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (10/5): Very nice stay in good location, comfy and clean apartment - Bright and airy with good size bedrooms and an en-suite. All facilities in the kitchen and comfy sofas. The TV was an internet type and kept pixelating/freezing
- Linda (8/5): Comfortable but basic - Good position and parking
- Stacey (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place to stay, really clean beautiful little house. Great location
- John (10/5): Amazing, will stay here again - Location was really good, few minutes walk to the key side.
Such a comfortable place to stay, light and airy, modern and clean. No complaints
- Simon (8/5): Very good -
- Stuart (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tracey (10/5): Exceptional -
- Xanne (8/5): Very good - The property was easy to find, in a good location for us and nice and quiet. Heating was easy to operate and responsive. The property was in good condition and nicely decorated. Beds were comfortable and towels nice and soft. The only issue was the TV which was a complete waste of time and just didn't want to work. As we were there in March it wasn't ideal when we wanted an evening in. It either needs sorting out or the property needs to be listed without a TV.
- Debbie (9/5): Fully equipped appartment, ideally situated with every thing for self catering - Spotless apartment with all you need for a short stay. Very dog friendly and well equipped kitchen. Lovely large soft towels!
- Larraine (8/5): Really lovely - Location. Decor. Key safe easy access. Facilities. First step up was a bit higher than the rest so we had to keep remembering not to plummet up or down. But I am being picky. It wasn't a problem.
- Giles (8/5): Very good -
- Monette (10/5): A jolly happy stay x - It's a lovely flat close to all the amenities so it's very convenient. It's got everything you need for a comfortable stay. Having somewhere to park our car is a bonus. Hope to be back soon x The kettle is a little worn out.

- Lara (9/5): Lovely, would like to return. - The apartment was more spacious than the photos appeared. It was really nicely decorated. It had everything we needed. including tons of hot water for washing the children after a beach day out! Perhaps the pillows were a little flat.
