Stearmans Cottage
Stearmans Cottage is a Grade II listed detached cottage dating back to 1750, originally used as an ostler’s cottage, now sympathetically renovated throughout to create a warm and comfortable holiday home. It’s conveniently located in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea, close to the quay with the advantage of a private parking space and an enclosed south facing courtyard garden.
This charming cottage has beamed ceilings, exposed brickwork, feature glass windows, combined with modern comforts including a contemporary kitchen and newly fitted bathrooms. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en-suite shower room. This is a great historic place to stay throughout the year with the beauty of the North Norfolk coast literally on your doorstep.

This is a beautiful cottage, very near to the quay, restaurants and shopping street. It is well fitted with plenty of storage space in the kitchen and bedrooms. We enjoyed lunch outside in the sun when we were in town. Close to all our favourite places, and near to the lovely walk along the bank to the beach.
Stearmans Cottage was exceptional. Beautifully modernised, fascinating cottage. Lovely welcome basket. The cottage is accessed via a carpark but don't let that put you off. Its quiet and very central. Little terrace is great, a real suntrap with comfortable seating and cushions. Highly recommended.
Excellent place to stay, a warm welcome is given by the host. A well fitted out holiday home and info on everything you want to know about the place and local "what to do" is provided. Even though it's in a car park you still get a sense of privacy.
Cottage excellent, very clean and equipped with all that is necessary for an enjoyable holiday. Quality furnishings and linen making it pleasurable to stay there. One item that would have improved our stay was an umbrella for the outside table. Otherwise a very 5 Star holiday.
This is a really lovely cottage. It is presented very well. The kitchen is well equipped. The beds are very comfortable. The cottage is very well situated for easy access to the town.
A lovely period cottage with every modern comfort. It suited us perfectly walking the North Norfolk coastal path. Thanks so much for the welcome wine, snacks and well stocked tea and coffee. Highly recommended.
Such a beautiful stay! Really relaxed environment, living area was inviting and beds were very comfy. The house had everything you would need for a short break. We couldn’t believe the location and hidden-in-plain-sight gem of a place. Would certainly recommend and stay again.
Our second visit to this wonderful cottage. Spacious and extremely well located with the very important parking space. Surprisingly peaceful with a calm decor, plenty of space and everything you need provided. This is our go to property now for Wells. Love it.
The cottage was absolutely lovely. The decor is beautiful and it had everything we needed. We particularly loved the cosy sitting room and sitting out in the courtyard in the sun! Definitely recommend.
Amazing cottage in a brilliant position. It has been beautifully refurbished and has a wonderful atmosphere. Congratulations to the owners of this very special cottage.
Fantastic cottage in great central position, warm, cosy and everything you need is here, we would highly recommend Stearmans Cottage.
A lovely cottage right in the heart of Wells. We visited in low season and enjoyed being so central to town. Very warm and clean. Comfortable beds. Great location. Generous welcome basket.
