Description from manager
Description
Located in the traditional maritime town of Wells-next-the-Sea, 200-year old Albert's Cottage was originally home to one of the Norfolk fisherman who established this popular coastal settlement. Superbly located a mere 100 meters from Wells quay, and retaining much of its charm and early features, this hideaway has been thoughtfully curated to embody a true Norfolk seaside experience.
Achingly romantic, Albert's Cottage has starred as the backdrop to three marriage proposals in the last five years. Featuring beams and an inglenook fireplace, this hideaway presents a wealth of character throughout. Located close to bustling Staithe Street, and Wells quay, there are numerous cafe's, fabulous restaurants, colourful boutiques, independent shops and local art galleries to discover. Wells is famed for its expansive sandy beach which is home to a charming row of vibrantly painted wooden beach huts set in front of an fragrant mature pine forest.
The ground floor comprises of a magnificent open-plan living environment with original oak beams. The seating area provides ample comfortable seating appointed around a wood burning stove set into a brick inglenook fireplace. Nestle in after a day spent in the big outdoors and enjoy the warmth of this space as ambient light from the flames flickers around the room. A well-equipped kitchen area hosts modern appliances and ample worktop space for rustling up a delicious meal made from the area's famous local produce. Seating for four guests is available around a traditional circular table. Perfect for gathering together over breakfast to plan the day ahead, or for sharing food, wine and conversation long into the evening. With a selection of books and board games available, this area makes an excellent shared social space for guests to enjoy. Ascend the Norfolk winder staircase to the first floor where two exceptionally beautifully-appointed bedrooms are located. Boasting a south facing aspect, the master bedroom benefits from being well lit by natural light, and hosts a double bed with rooftop views. Bedroom two also provides a double bed. Both bedrooms have been decorated in a muted colour palette, with beds dressed in good quality linens and sumptuous soft furnishings to ensure that guests experience a much-needed restorative deep sleep. These bedrooms are served by a good-sized shower room. Outside, a delightfully quaint courtyard garden features rattan furniture surrounded by green shrubs in terracotta pots. An accompanying barbecue beckons guests to dine al fresco on summer evenings. On-street parking is available, with a public car park located nearby.
Albert's Cottage has proved very popular with Norfolk Hideaways guests over the years. Maintained to a high standard and thoughtfully prepared to welcome guests, the owner's love for this cottage is evident. Tea and cake, or similar, is laid out on arrival, and in the winter months, an inviting fire will be warming the room.
Albert's Cottage can also be booked as a sleeps two option with bedroom two closed off: Albert's Cottage(2).

Response from the manager Dear Peter P, When you booked your holiday you agreed to our Terms and Conditions. We also recommend that you take out travel insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances. You called to cancel your booking for 9th August, just two weeks before on 22nd July. Emma in our bookings team kindly suggested that you move your booking to a later date in September with the agreement of the owner, which avoided you losing the money you had paid and you were happy with this. You then called again to cancel the moved booking which we had re-booked for September. Even though this was the second time that you were wanting to cancel, we again negotiated with the owner on your behalf and the owner kindly agreed that if did re-book you could have a refund. Unfortunately it didn’t re-book, primarily because you cancelled just 17 days before. Whilst we understand the frustration at losing the £771 you paid, we did accommodate your two requests to move your holiday which was outside of usual terms and conditions. We feel we went above and beyond to accommodate your requests and have been courteous and accommodating throughout the booking process. Kind regards Norfolk Hideaways
