Originally an inn, this cottage is one of the first buildings erected in the 15th-century town of Wells-next-the-sea. Now it welcomes large groups to enjoy a modern interior and a large south-facing garden. Spot the views over the conservation area, thanks to its elevated position. The space is cosy, though it's worth noting that one of the bedrooms is without a door, so it might not feel the most private. Still, it is minutes away from the harbour and a fifteen-minute walk from Well's Beach. You're also in one of the UK's Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which you can explore more by car.
