Breaks In Wells-next-the-Sea – Wells-next-the-Sea Hotels

Posted December 3, 2009 by BookingBuddy

Wells-next-the-Sea may be over 700 years old, but it’s still looking remarkably good. Age had given this town on the North Norfolk Coast a hefty dose of character. It has everything you’d expect from a good seaside town – fish and chips, pretty beach huts, and pretty views. The sea itself, however, is just over a mile away but the easy walk there is scenic and refreshing.

Play
Abraham’s Bosom – This natural lake sits just short stroll from the stunning beaches of Wells-next-the-Sea. Spread across 5 acres, this saltwater lake has plenty of space to spare! There is an activity centre attached to the lake, and visitors can indulge in outdoor activities. Go boating by yourself or in a group, have fun on the crazy golf course, or simply jump up and down on the trampoline. There is also a picnic area, so you can take a rest and fill your tummy while enjoy the views.

Stay
The Crown Hotel – The character of this former coaching inn has been carefully preserved, but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to share your living quarters with the horses. In fact, all twelve bedrooms have been given a bright and airy makeover, with original fittings left in place as a nod to the past. The furnishings are minimal but comfortable and modern, with plenty of space to move around in. The restaurant on the ground floor serves tasty, unpretentious meals, with most ingredients sourced locally. Room rates start from £90.

Eat

French’s Fish and Chips – Complete the quintessential seaside experience by ordering some fish and chips here. Its shop on the Quayside is brightly lit and spacious enough for several tables – a far cry from the cramped conditions of most fish and chip shops. However, on nice sunny day, why not grab a meal to takeaway, and enjoy it while perched on the seawall at the Quay? The menu has the usual choices of cod, plaice and haddock, with skate and huss also occasionally available.
