About this property

A beautiful, spacious three storey character property enjoying sea and harbour views from the top floor. So close to the heart of Wells, its harbour and amenities, yet is still a haven of peace and tranquillity with its sheltered south facing patio garden, which is a real sun-trap. The location really is exceptional! Just a minute's walk from the quay, Coxswain's House is far enough away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough so that everything is at hand.

Spread over three floors, Coxswain's House used to be the home of the town's Lifeboat helmsman and skipper, hence the name! The property has been beautifully renovated and is bursting with character, space and lots of charm. Stylishly decorated and comfortably furnished throughout (with the odd tasteful nod here and there to its seaside location), the owners have paid great attention to every small detail to ensure guests have the best and most comfortable of holidays.

Children (and adults) will have great time playing pool in the games room. You have a choice of two dining areas; one in the breakfast kitchen and another in a separate dining room, which has a wood-burning stove, making it the perfect venue for a long, chatty lunch or special dinner. Outside there is a very sunny private and spacious enclosed courtyard garden; an ideal spot for a barbecue or pre-dinner drinks. Coxswains House is definitely the perfect holiday house for families, couples and friends to enjoy the very best of times in this popular seaside town. The house is also available as a sleeps four - Coxswain's House (4) - out of the main season and school holidays, when it is a great low season escape for one or two couples wanting a spacious bolthole. When booked as a sleeps four, guests will not have access to bedroom three or the top floor twin suite.

Additional Information
There is further parking available in the nearby public car park on Freeman Street (£7/day, £28/week).
Six public EV car chargers are also available to use at Freeman Street car park.

Brilliant house in the centre of Wells

The property is well equipped and is a great location to explore Wells and the surrounding area. It comfortably fits two families and has all the facilities you require for a nice relaxing break what ever the weather.

Perfect in every way

Beautiful house with lovely decor and everything you could possibly need. Location is excellent, a minute walk to the harbour but quiet inside. Highly recommended.

Marvellous

Had a marvellous holiday in this wonderfully spacious holiday home. We were spoilt for choice as to which room to use to sleep in; relax in; play in; eat in; and watch TV in. Would definitely stay there again and can highly recommend it.
