  We arrived two by two like beasts in a zoo. To Wells we assembled (though Benny disembled) To have a reunion, a moment of bliss High View was perfect for a moment like this.A home so welcoming, all comfort and cosy Tranquil art, soft furnishing and a fire, oh so toasty. In the well equipped kitchen we conjured up meals Curries, soup and lasagne, but no jellied eels!Stepping out on the saltmarsh, vistas unique and sprawling Big skies, rolling waves and skiffs out a'trawling We wandered and roamed, twitching birds, breathing deep Ensuring we all got the best nights' sleepHolkham Hall is magnificent in garden and brick Trying hats in the shops made those two look thick! Holt Country Park was a stunner, just ambling around Spying figures and bridges and knocking cans down.Holt welcomed us in, shops and galleries galore But the sausage rolls and cheese scones satisfied us more.When tripping was done and we made our way home Footy World Cup on TV, no more need to roam With shouting and whooping and an oooh and an ahhh.. Happier there than 'out there', more beer in our bar!!A fab bunch of "old" friends of more than 40 years Spending time here in Wells with laughter and tears (...of joy) Thank you for having us, we'll return for sure Becuase of this wonderful place, we just want MORE!!!

  We’ve had a lovely week and were very lucky with the weather - no rain in April - a real Easter blessing! We love the sunny, bright house and our two mini schnauzers loved the spacious enclosed garden, a big plus. We’ve enjoyed walking on the beaches at Wells and Holkham and brunch at Bang at the top of Staithe Street. Also Holkham lake. Also loved the colourful, arty, independent shops at Holt. Follys Tearoom scones and coffee there were lovely, as was the blackcurrant and liquorice ice cream from the parlour on the main street. Such a charming town. Enjoyed mooching around Burnham Market too and quick stop at quaint Blakeney Quay. Dogs enjoyed walking the esplanade at Cromer on our last day, and we finished off a lovely week with a meal out at Wells Crab House. Food was great and staff very friendly too. House and parking has been great though we’d have appreciated a bit more surface space in the bathrooms upstairs. Were also freaked out three times at 10pm by the TV turning on all by itself! (a previous comment said this was fixed, so thought you should know it’s not). Only other thing, a bbq was mentioned in the description but it was not in the garden (we would have used it). We hope to return one day, thank you.

  First stay at High View but hopefully won’t be the last. Have been to Wells many times but only just discovered this wonderful house. Best we’ve stayed in. Garden ideal for the dog as very secure. House has everything you could need for a comfortable week. Very much home from home. If I had one comment I do think the sofa seating may need some attention as the seats are incredibly soft and you sink into some of them more than you should. We were fortunate with the weather so were able to get out and about.Walked to Holkham and Burnham Overy Staithe. Sheringham Park is beautiful and Holt lovely to walk around. Recommend The Bowling Green for Sunday dinner but it’s advisable to book in advance. Edinburgh a friendly pub, and The Crown. Further afield the pub in Warham does a nice lunch. Brancaster beach was wonderful for the dog and has no restrictions. Lastly you have to have fish and chips at the seaside, and it’s got to be Frenchs. Oh and Bang does a great breakfast. Looking forward to our next visit.

  The whole family enjoyed our September stay at Crown Villa. Lovely spacious front room, and light filled dining room. The garden proved a comfortable place for a morning coffee in the sun. Great aspect overlooking the green, somehow lively and yet quiet. Nice pubs and independent shops within a stroll and of course the sea. We loved our walks towards Holkham Hall partially through pine trees, and also to the east towards charming Stiffkey. The only improvements we might suggest are to dot a few moth traps about and to upgrade the lightbulbs so we could easily read in the evening. Overall a splendid place to holiday, a spacious house, close to wonderful villages and beaches with great eateries in walkable distance. We can recommend. and hope to return soon.

  We stayed in South Lodge East last year and had such a wonderful time that we couldn’t wait to come back. The estate is as amazing as we remembered but Palmers Lodge was a big disappointment. The downstairs of the property was cold and damp in spite of putting the heating on. The bathrooms were grubby and cold. There were spiders and bugs everywhere. Our clothing smelled of damp. We were basically very uncomfortable -even the bed seemed damp. The welcome pack would have been more useful if it included a small loaf of bread and a pint of milk. I expected much more comfort from this property and I do not think it is good value for money.
