This unique property, which sleeps up to nine guests, is set within the picturesque Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It features a spectacular lookout tower that provides breathtaking coastal views over the harbour and surrounding landscape, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking a memorable getaway close to the beach and local amenities.

The cottage is a beautifully restored 16th-century flint and brick former merchant's house, spanning four floors.

The ground floor boasts a convivial kitchen and dining area, perfect for enjoying meals and sharing stories after a day of exploration.

As one of the oldest buildings in Wells-next-the-Sea, St Michael's Cottage retains its historical charm, complete with uneven floor levels and steep staircases that may pose challenges for individuals with mobility issues.
