Kipling House was just perfect for the children and grandchildren. The on suits were a godsend, made life easy. Parking for three cars with a bit of careful manoeuvring. Garden was great for a barbecue plenty of seating. ##### Mark D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Lawrence F. 24 Jul 2019 #### Comfortable house, excellent location. Fantastic location - just 30 yards from the main street yet the rear patio area nice and peaceful and excellent for BBQ. House very airy and comfortable, having two living rooms brilliant for watching TV/DVD's for all the families' needs. Well equipped kitchen and nice big lobby area for roof racks, coats, shoes, bikes, etc. BBQ a good size and very easy to use. Only one minor point and it is very minor - a couple of recliners in the back garden to relax on away from the madding crowd would be the icing on the cake ! We would definitely consider returning to the Kipling House in the future. , ##### Lawrence F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina C. 6 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home from Home The property was well laid out / modern and clean, it provided everything that three generations of our family and GSD required for a relaxing and enjoyable week. You can park the cars and not move them again until you leave. There are plenty of things to do and places to eat, there are excellent walks to the beach / woods or follow the track past the boat yard towards Holkham. The house is in the best position that we have stayed in Wells, especially for my father due to challenges with walking long distances, he was able to get to the harbour easily, sit at a local café and watch the world go by. A visit to Walsingham is a must to visit the Abbey and and especially our lady of Walsingham. We will certainly be back. ##### Tina C. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles R. 4 May 2022 #### Wonderful location Wonderful location, and comfortable house, always enjoy staying there, and visiting the delights of the north Norfolk coast ##### Charles R.

Excellent position close to shops and pubs. Very quiet location. Nice big lobby for dirty shoes and boots. Grandchildren loved the beach and going crabbing. ##### Linda C.

We all love walking when we visit Norfolk. Kipling house was excellent, clean and comfortable and very well presented, in a great location in Wells close to all shops, pub’s and restaurants. All the walks were stunning on the north Norfolk coast. Thank you for providing great accommodation ##### Trevor R.

A welcome start to the holiday after a long journey, and a lovely touch. The house was great for us, 3 generations of a family and a dog. Plenty of bathrooms, well equipped kitchen, space to spread out, and very comfy beds. Parking for 3 car was a bonus. Being close to town for fresh ingredients, and fish & chips was great. This was a first visit for us all to Wells next the sea, what a lovely place, the beach and coast line are stunning. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Emma B. 12 Sept 2018 #### Perfect location We had a wonderful week at Kipling house, great for our dog and 12 twelve year olds. We loved being able to walk out the back gate and be in Wells harbour. Fetching crab and lobster from the ladies on the quay a real bonus. House perfect for 8 and we will definitely be back. ##### Emma B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Chimney House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandbach-Hotels-Chimney-House-Hotel.h527768.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haslemere-Hotels-Voco-Lythe-Hill-Hotel-Spa.h517258.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
