The House
-
Nestled opposite St.Nicholas Church, at the bottom of the ‘old’ high street, the Mousetrap is a comfortably furnished barn conversion cottage, on one level with walled courtyard garden. It’s a super holiday base to enjoy Wells next the Sea and explore the wider North Norfolk Coast. Centrally located 800 metres behind the Quay, it offers an easy walk to the harbour, shops, pubs and cafes of this vibrant seaside town – voted the second best seaside resort in Britain by Holiday Which magazine.
Mousetrap offers a central location with the added bonus of free parking space for two cars and free wi-fi.

Outside High Season – Short Breaks
…Weekend breaks: Friday to Monday (3 nights)
…Mid week breaks: Monday to Friday (4 nights)
