“The Boathouse is certainly compact, but should be more than adequate for couples who have no intention of having a major argument during their stay. Parking (ie none, as was indicated on the website at the time of our booking) is available in the Boathouse internal garage, so check with Norfolk Hideaways if the website still says no parking. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and would come back again. And we really enjoyed the excellent food at The Crown. To call it 'pub-grub' would be a gross disservice, and it was always full. Finally, the service from Norfolk Hideaways was excellent, and we would book with them again. ”

Guest Reviews

“We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at the Boathouse. Very cleverly designed, really spacious and comfortable for two. In centre of everything, but secluded. Tastefully decorated, lots of books to read and a good tv. A great place to stay if you want to totally chill out. The owners Jane and Barry were very helpful and friendly - Thank you. Great that we could park the car in the garage - an added bonus. We WILL be back!”

“Had a great time , the boathouse was perfect for 2 and really comfortable , parking wasn't an issue we always found a space on the Buttlands . Location was nice and quiet within easy walking distance to the Quay , shops and pubs , in fact it couldn't have been better. Will definitely try to book again , many thanks Norfolk Hideaways. ”

“ A most convenient, centrally located holiday apartment. We were extremely comfortable, and being able to use the garage was a relief as the on-road parking was quite a long way away when it rained! The boathouse was beautifully appointed, and just the right size for two people - we would like to come back in the summer to be able to use the outside area.”

Sophie Nunn from Hope Valley, October 2010

“Our stay at Newgates Boathouse in Wells was wonderful. It's a beautiful, well designed small apartment for a perfect retreat for two. Wells is the ideal central location to explore the treasures of the north Norfolk coast and countryside. Not to be missed is the vast array of local food and cider and ales; a cycle ride around the Holkham estate; a boat trip to see the seals and the shopping in Holt and Burnham. Thanks, Norfolk Hideaways, we'll be booking with you again! ”

Local Area

Wells-next-the-sea is a charming, traditional seaside town with sandy beaches protected by a pinewood forest. A visit to Wells wouldn\'t be complete without trying your luck at a spot of crabbing on the quayside, or simply relaxing and watching the world go by whilst sampling the best in local fish and chip cuisine. Bicycle hire is available on the quayside. Great local pubs include The Crown Inn, The Globe and The Victoria at Holkham.
