August 24: Firstly, wow! We had an amazing week. Honestly the cottage was lovely! we have already been out purchasing little decorative items based on what she saw in the cottage! From the moment we walked in we knew we were going to have a fab time.

August 23: Hi Helen-We couldn’t wait until the end of our holiday to say this…Wow! Your home is beautifully decorated-You have thought of everything! It’s so comfortable, beautifully decorated and feels like luxury. We are so grateful. Thank you. R & M B

June 23: We had a really good week in Wells! We have stayed in Wells many times in the past. We all loved the cottage, it was so well equipped with such nice things . We very much appreciated the welcome box. Our family came one day and the children enjoyed all the toys. We loved the courtyard and enjoyed afternoon cups of tea sitting in the sunshine. The cottage was in such a great position for pubs in the evening, the two supermarkets and Staithe Street. We would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Wells. We have stayed in holiday cottages in other parts of the UK and this was by far the best. We hope to stay with you again. Thank you for letting us use your lovely cottage. SD

July 2022: We have been staying in Wells-next-to-sea for many years and this was, by far, the nicest cottage. Clean, tidy, great quiet central location. Thank you, we hope to book again! 5 star

May 2021: "I just wanted to thank you for another lovely week at your beautiful cottage. It was good to see Wells again - There was a lovely atmosphere.Your cottage was just perfect & spotless. It smelt so fresh & clean when we arrived. You have obviously gone to a lot of effort to ensure that it is thoroughly cleaned & we felt very safe.
