Neighbourhood information

The Lookout is located at Mainsail Yard, a luxury development of coastal townhouses with one apartment block in the corner. The homes at Mainsail Yard are mainly second homes and holiday lets and this makes for a relaxed and friendly feeling to the whole area. Mainsail Yard is located on the edge of Wells-next-the-Sea on Freeman Street and is within easy walking distance of all the vibrant seaside town has to offer. Wells-next-the-Sea is a super popular holiday destination which has a thriving permanent resident community and working fishing fleet. There is a lovely mixture of independent boutiques, galleries, food shops and cafes located along Staithe Street, which runs from the harbour up to the Buttlands, home to the famous Crown Hotel and The Globe, perfect for a spot of lunch or supper when you get back from the beach. Wells Beach is renowned in Norfolk and beyond for its endless sand and row of pretty beach huts that back onto the pinewoods. Walk for a couple of miles or so along the golden sands and you’ll end up in Holkham. Whether you decide to sunbathe, swim, fly a kite or build a sandcastle, Wells beach has something for everyone. For wildlife lovers, wading birds can be seen on the foreshore, including terns, oystercatchers and avocets. If you’re lucky you can even spot common and grey seals basking in the sun. There is a car park and wonderful beach cafe just behind the pinewoods, so if the stroll out to the beach from the harbour is a bit much carrying all the beach gear, you can drive up and walk over the dunes to the beach. Wells has so much to offer for a holiday in Norfolk, whatever the age of guests, it's the perfect base to explore both the West and East sides of the North Norfolk coastline and plenty to do if you decide not to leave at all! Distance to Beach : Around 5 mins in the car. (There us parking at the beach). It is maybe a mile and a half to walk out. Distance to Shops: 5 - 10 mins walk. Distance to Pubs & Cafes: 5...
