Description from owner

Description

Nestled opposite historic St Nicholas church, at the bottom of the 'old' high street, the Mousetrap is a comfortably furnished barn conversion cottage, sleeping 6. Located less than 10 minutes walk to the Quayside, the Mousetrap offers easy access to the harbour, shops, pubs and cafes of this vibrant seaside town - voted the second best seaside resort in Britain, by Holiday Which magazine.

The Mousetrap is a single storey property at ground floor level, with walled courtyard and the added bonus of parking space for two cars. Making it ideal for a wide range of guests.

Families looking for a summer holiday base, will appreciate the internal space and rear courtyard - outdoor hanging for those wet sandy towels and beach gear! Families with toddlers and older guests will appreciate the absence of stairs. The tiled entrance porch and plentiful coat hanging is convenient for winter bird watchers, who may come home a little windswept and damp after a wonderful day of wildlife spotting! Whilst cyclist exploring the Norfolk Coast Cycleway have a secure rear area to store cycles and other equipment.

Beaches, walking, wildlife spotting, sports activities, visiting stately homes, arts & crafts, or simply chilling! Whatever your reason for visiting Wells and the wider North Norfolk coast the Mousetrap is a well equipped and superbly located holiday base.
