With its uninterrupted views of the harbour and salt marshes, this handsome apartment on Wells-next-the-Sea offers the perfect base for those looking for a scenic stay on the North Norfolk coast. Watch the ebb and flow of the tide from the living area’s Juliet balcony – your morning coffee or evening glass of wine in hand – or snuggle up on the sofa in front of the soft glow of the living flame fireplace. Mealtimes call for celebratory dinners at the dining table when you’re not out sampling the local seafood restaurants, while sleep comes easily in the two comfortable bedrooms at the end of any busy day of sightseeing. When you’re ready to venture out for some exploring, you needn’t go far till you find some fun. Go crabbing along the quay or take one of the many boats and sea fishing tours available from the waterside, just minutes from your door. You’re also just over twenty minutes away on foot from Wells Next The Sea Beach where you can often spot grey seals basking along the shoreline. And should you wish to explore slightly further afield, you can take the coastal path to Holkham, home to the 25,000-acre... Holkham Hall.
