Great location, clean, homely, friendly host.
The property is a short walk from the Quayside, close to several pubs, well within walking distance even with a toddler in tow! The host answered all questions in a timely fashion and was on hand to answer questions about local places to eat. The property was clean and provided all amenities required for a holiday. Having designated parking spaces made life easy. Practical location for exploring the beaches and the Norfolk coast. We'll be back.

The perfect stay
We stayed at the Mousetrap for 4 nights. I wish we had more time to spend there as our stay was so lovely. The house is fantastic, well equipped, very cosy, spacious, quiet, well located and we really felt like at home. Location is great as everything you need is in walking distance. Some great pubs around the corner! And North Norfolk is just beautiful. We had some questions before our stay and the Carl was really helpful and responsive. Overall, we couldn't have wished for more - fantastic stay!

About the host

Hosted by Mousetrap Owner

Host profile image
It's my intention to make the Mousetrap the best holiday home it can be, so that every guest who books with us will want to return. I worked in the hospitality industry for many years and apply my knowledge to make the Mousetrap a clean, comfortable, functional and attractive holiday home. I'm very mindful of the value of peoples holidays and breaks. Family holidays and leisure time spent with friends, should be wonderful and memorable. I want everyone to have a wonderful and memorable time in Wells next the Sea. I'm always happy to receive feedback from guests, as it helps me to continually improve the Mousetrap, fulfilling my goal of making it a great holiday home.

Why they chose this property

The first time I visited Wells next the Sea with my family, I fell in love with the area. There is something special about Wells next the Sea. Perhaps it's the quaint harbour and quayside, where tourists catching crabs, mingle with working fishing boats? Perhaps it's the 'big skies' and wide open, pine fringed forests. Or, maybe it's the warm welcome you receive in all the pubs, cafes and restaurants - even when you're with your dog! Perhaps it's all these things and the enjoyment on kids faces, experiencing the freedom, they don't always get in a large city. You just have to come and experience it for yourself...I want the Mousetrap to be your home from home, while the magic of the place seeps into your soul!
