About this house rental
A super, secluded detached holiday house, perfect for families and friends, with plenty of space to relax and unwind, and only a short stroll away from the 'hub' of this popular seaside town, a seven minute walk to the quay, and twenty five minutes to the beach. Tucked away down a quiet lane behind the beautiful Buttlands Green, Heron House is a hidden gem, enjoying a sunny, south facing aspect, a large garden and, what everyone wants in Wells, private parking! The house is immaculately presented and offers comfortable and well-equipped holiday accommodation, ideal for a short break or longer stay at any time of the year.
Downstairs there is an impressive bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, where everyone can congregate and enjoy sociable meal times, and a choice of two delightfully sunny rooms to relax in - a sitting room and a garden room which both overlook the garden. There is plenty of storage space for boots and coats, as well as a laundry room, utility and cloakroom. Upstairs (the stairs are quite steep) there are three bedrooms (king size, double and twin) and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. Heron House is an ideal family house but also perfect for couples and friends to enjoy.
Wells-next-the-Sea is a superb destination, with everything you can possibly need right on the doorstep - independent butchers, bakers, fishmongers and greengrocers, home ware stores, boutiques and gift shops, two supermarkets and an excellent selection of good eateries. And, of course, don't forget the stunning beach with its colourful array of beach huts, and the bustling Quay where you just have to try your hand at crabbing and some of the best fish and chips around.

Lovely spacious house in a superb location
I have no hesitation in recommending Heron House. It’s a lovely spacious house which was perfect for us. We cooked a few nights as we had a baby with us & the kitchen was well equipped & spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds too.
The location is great as it’s only a few minutes walk into the heart of Wells-Next-The-Sea which is very quaint with a lovely harbour. The beach is fabulous & well worth the walk.

Outstanding house and location
We rented the house in the last week of August. Its in a great central location but still quiet enough to sleep with your windows open.
It is very spacious and well equipped for a family of 4 plus 2 guests.
Highly recommended.

Spacious family house with great garden.
Great spacious family house with lovely garden and plenty of parking however entry to the drive can be challenging from the narrow lane due to amount of parked vehicles both sides.
If I was being picky I would say it could benefit from some baking/pitza trays etc. Also some bins upstairs and shaving mirrors on bathroom window sills as the mirrors are not useable for wet shaving although they did have electric shaver points near them. We did find the toilet was too near the shower and kept hitting head on glass unless sat on toilet seat sideways . We wanted to dry beach towels on rotary dryer but couldn’t find a stake or anywhere in garden to fix it. Think owner just needs to look at these minor points.
DO NOT let this put you off booking this house though as these are only our niggles and they haven’t put us off. We would definitely book again as it’s a great house with a wonderful garden in a lovely sough after village that’s great for family holidays.

Stunning house, great central location with private parking and large garden
The house is tucked away in the centre of Wells Next the Sea, It is spacious, very well appointed and crucially has ample private parking for up to 5/6 vehicles, which in Wells is almost unheard of! The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The living areas downstairs are superb, with the crown jewel being the very large open plan kitchen/dining area, ideal for family entertainment and meals. There are two other good sized reception rooms looking out onto the large established garden which we used for BBQ's and games. (Note we took our own electric BBQ as there isn't one provided). Being so centrally located it is fantastic for short walks to the shops and pubs with the Globe PH and the Crown hotel being only 2 minutes walk away.
Extra things like the Bose wave system in the kitchen and the books and DVD library make this a real home from home.
We had a lovely week with our family and would hire it again without hesitation.

Christmas in Wells next the Sea
Thank you Norfolk Hideaways. We booked Heron House for our Christmas in Wells and were fairly confident from the website and photographs that it would be perfect for our family get together. We were not disappointed. Heron House was perfect, great location and we really enjoyed our last minute food shopping in Staithe Street and the local pubs all very convenient, and of course parking was such a bonus. We had glorious weather for four days which really made our Christmas holiday especially walking to the new hide at Holkham with excellent facilities and great value food. We have stayed in Wells many times and it is our happy place and I would definitely recommend Heron House for a lovely family holiday, may come back next summer! Only one negative and a little unfortunate, the kitchen is superb but I think warrants a slightly larger table (the extra leaf had been locked in a cupboard) and maybe a couple of stools for the island. We had family from Cromer and Norwich for Boxing Day lunch and had to use the garden table to seat everyone, but this is obviously easy to resolve. Nothing else, it was perfect.

A superb house in a great location, very peaceful and relaxing, yet not too far from the centre of town. Improvements needed - a smart T.V. and champagne flutes would have been nice.
