Property Details

At the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea lies the town’s picturesque quay, overlooked by Shipyard Studio and its fabulous first-floor balcony. Imagine letting a peaceful morning drift by with coffee and a good book as the tide ebbs and flows, covering the sandy channel and rescuing marooned boats while the blue water glistens in the morning sun. The bustling, quaint town of Wells, with its local independent cafes and shops, is just a short stroll away. Shipyard Studio is an ideal year-round retreat!

Reviews

"Super stay. What a really interesting house, it was quite surprising, interesting layout with variety of spaces, more spacious than I was expecting. Very well equipped. Great location."

Sara S on August 2024

"The property is in a fantastic location and the bedroom and balcony are amazing. We would definitely come back - the main rooms are dated but full of character. Great place to stay!"

Rachel T on June 2024

"We really enjoyed the fabulous view of the estuary. A very cosy house, great heating (we stayed in February). Excellent range of cooking utensils and appliances, we ate in 3 nights out of 4 and loved the view from the dining area. The master bedroom was really comfy and the shower was powerful, plenty of hot water. Great parking space outside the front door. The walks from the front door are amazing, right on the Norfolk Way."

Debbie N on April 2024

"Wonderful stay here, would definitely come again. Great sized property in a good location for Wells Next the Sea. Loved it."

Gareth H on March 2024

"We loved it here, we found the view magical. We can’t wait to come back. We went with our toddler and we had an amazing time. We have been going to wells for 20 years and this has been our favourite place to stay."

Emily F on December 2023

"A very welcoming house in a fabulous location. We had a wonderful time. The layout works extremely well for two couples staying. The outstanding feature is the views from the front of the property. The pretty enclosed rear garden is sunny and peaceful. We will definitely be booking again."

Susan B on June 2023

"A great quirky place. We felt right at home as soon as we got in. Nice and clean. Incredible views, especially from the balcony and the dining area. Great to have the utility for coming into after walks. Big variety of places to eat within walking distance. Straight onto the coastal path. We will be returning! "

Nicola Y on February 2023

"Perfect place to stay in Wells. Close to all amenities, well equipped and in a beautiful location - couldn’t ask for more. Would one hundred percent recommend!"

Location

Beside the obviously beautiful views on your doorstep, Shipyard Studio also offers one of the most convenient locations in Wells-Next-The-Sea with many amenities, shops, and cafes just minutes away. The quayside frontage is about 2-3 minutes walk away and is lined with restaurants, ice cream shops and arcades, whilst a few minutes further and you'll find yourself on Staithe Street. A delightful little pedestrianised street lined with independent stores, tourist shops and food outlets.

Shipyard Studio is so close to the water and salt marsh that you may well see and hear formations of Geese fly overhead, one of winters spectaculars. For bird watchers this spot is the perfect base.

Continue along Staithe Street and you'll come out by the Buttlands Green which has a further selection of pubs and restaurants, with favourites like The Globe Inn and The Crown favourites amongst locals and visitors alike.

Of course, it wouldn't be a trip to Wells without a visit to the beach! Walking from the car park and seaside café, visitors have the chance to amble through the pine wood forest which sits behind the beach and come out at by the famous colourful beach huts which Wells has become so well known for. Tides can drift out exceptionally far on this part of the coast and can make for a unique beach day experience if timed correctly. As the sea drifts out small bodies of water are left behind which make for great fun to jump in and explore - especially for those travelling with children. Alternatively, a more conventional beach day can certainly be enjoyed with large swathes of sand for sunbathing! Possibly one of the closest properties to the beach in all of Wells, Shipyard Studio is roughly a 25-minute walk to the beach, or just a few minutes in the car.

Outside of Wells, there's a range of towns and beaches to explore all along the coast, such as Brancaster, Blakeney, Salthouse, and Sheringham all within easy reach by car, whilst towns further inland such as Holt are well worth a day trip. Holkham Hall and Holkham National Nature Reserve are both just a couple of miles away and is another place to add to your list of must visits during your stay!
