Introduction / Description
The Old Custom House, built in 1560, is situated on Wells' picturesque East Quay, just a few minutes walk from the centre of town. The Victorian cast-iron Customs' crest, pictured above, is mounted on the front wall of the house just inside the yard. The water is literally a few steps away when the tide is in and the North Norfolk coast path runs past the front gate.
It has been our family home for 36 years and we have been welcoming B&B guests to stay with us in this wonderful place since 1997. The guest rooms offer magnificent views across the tidal creeks and marshes, and are equipped with TV, Wi-Fi, and tea & coffee making facilities.
This classic B&B in a 16th-century custom house overlooking the water is a 5-minute walk from the Wells Tourist Information Centre and Staithe Street's restaurants. It's 1.6 miles from the beach.
The cosy rooms with en suite bathrooms have antique-style furnishings and overlook marshland. They come with free WiFi, tea and coffeemaking equipment and TVs. There's 1 room with a 4-poster bed and a whirlpool tub. A suite adds a kitchenette. There's also a separate cottage with a kitchen and an enclosed garden.
Cooked breakfast is served in an old-fashioned dining room with harbour views. Parking permits for the town's public lots are included.
