Perfect location just a few minutes walk to the quayside. Kipling House was just perfect for the children and grandchildren. The on suits were a godsend, made life easy.
Parking for three cars with a bit of careful manoeuvring. Garden was great for a barbecue plenty of seating.

Comfortable house, excellent location.
Fantastic location - just 30 yards from the main street yet the rear patio area nice and peaceful and excellent for BBQ.
House very airy and comfortable, having two living rooms brilliant for watching TV/DVD's for all the families' needs.
Well equipped kitchen and nice big lobby area for roof racks, coats, shoes, bikes, etc.
BBQ a good size and very easy to use.
Only one minor point and it is very minor - a couple of recliners in the back garden to relax on away from the madding crowd
would be the icing on the cake !
We would definitely consider returning to the Kipling House in the future.
,
The property was well laid out / modern and clean, it provided everything that three generations of our family and GSD required for a relaxing and enjoyable week. You can park the cars and not move them again until you leave.
There are plenty of things to do and places to eat, there are excellent walks to the beach / woods or follow the track past the boat yard towards Holkham.
The house is in the best position that we have stayed in Wells, especially for my father due to challenges with walking long distances, he was able to get to the harbour easily, sit at a local café and watch the world go by.
A visit to Walsingham is a must to visit the Abbey and and especially our lady of Walsingham.
We will certainly be back.

Bramford Boomer’s
The Boomer’s consists four couples, with an age range of 66 to 74. We all love walking when we visit Norfolk. Kipling house was excellent, clean and comfortable and very well presented, in a great location in Wells close to all shops, pub’s and restaurants. All the walks were stunning on the north Norfolk coast. Thank you for providing great accommodation

Fantastic family holiday house in great location
Arrived at Kipling House to find fresh cakes for 8. A welcome start to the holiday after a long journey, and a lovely touch. The house was great for us, 3 generations of a family and a dog. Plenty of bathrooms, well equipped kitchen, space to spread out, and very comfy beds. Parking for 3 car was a bonus. Being close to town for fresh ingredients, and fish & chips was great.
This was a first visit for us all to Wells next the sea, what a lovely place, the beach and coast line are stunning.

Perfect location
We had a wonderful week at Kipling house, great for our dog and 12 twelve year olds.
We loved being able to walk out the back gate and be in Wells harbour. Fetching crab and lobster from the ladies on the quay a real bonus.
House perfect for 8 and we will definitely be back.
