What people are saying

  • “The perfect stay for a big family getaway!”

    We stayed at Chancery House with three generations of family (12 of us in total), for a special family weekend and absolutely loved it. The house is really spacious, super clean, and just a short walk from the harbour. The kitchen and living areas are great for cooking and relaxing as a group. It's the ideal base for exploring the North Norfolk coast – we’ll definitely be coming back!

  • “Gorgeous house in a brilliant location”

    This is one of the nicest large holiday lets we’ve stayed in.Chancery House is one of the best group holiday lets we’ve stayed in. It’s just a few minutes from Wells Harbour and close to some brilliant coastal walks. There’s loads of space, the beds are comfy, and everything has a really thoughtful, stylish touch. A brilliant spot for big families or a getaway with friends.

  • “A brilliant Norfolk base for our creative weekend”

    We stayed at Chancery House for a weekend retreat and took part in one of the creative workshops during our stay which was such a special addition to a holiday. The house is big, light, and beautifully decorated, with everything we needed. And the location in Wells-next-the-Sea is lovely, perfect for a walk on the beach after breakfast!

  • “Spacious, stylish and perfect for a group trip”

    I organised a girls' weekend at Chancery House and it was absolutely perfect. There was enough room for all of us to stay comfortably, and we never felt on top of each other. Everything is beautifully designed, and the kitchen is great for group cooking (or just chatting with a wine!). Loved being able to walk into town and to the beach. Can’t wait to come again.

  • “Cosy countryside escape in a charming Suffolk village”

    We had such a lovely stay at Tipple Cottage in Peasenhall. It’s beautifully decorated, full of character, and had everything we needed for a peaceful weekend away. The village is so picturesque with a great deli and pub just a short walk away. It’s also a great base for exploring the Suffolk coast, we visited Southwold and Aldeburgh while we were there. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing couples' or small family getaway.

  • “Can’t recommend this place enough!”

    We had such a lovely time at Chancery House. It’s rare to find somewhere that works so well for large groups, from the layout to the facilities, everything has been really carefully thought through. We even took part in one of the additional workshops during our stay, which made it extra special. Plus, Wells-next-the-Sea is one of our favourite spots on the North Norfolk coast. We’ll be recommending this to friends and family for sure.

  • “Stylish and comfortable stay – a real hidden gem in Suffolk”

    Tipple Cottage was absolutely perfect for our little family of three. The space is light, clean and really thoughtfully put together, a real home from home. Peasenhall is such a friendly village, and we loved the peaceful setting. We enjoyed evenings in front of the wood burner and days out exploring the Suffolk countryside and coast. We’ll definitely be back for another escape from the city!

  • “The welcome hamper was such a lovely touch!"

    When we arrived at Chancery House there was a gorgeous hamper waiting for us, full of local goodies and little treats. It made the whole place feel really welcoming. Such a thoughtful extra to our stay which was fantastic from start to finish, Thank you.

  • “A fantastic group holiday house near the beach, we would book again in a heartbeat”

    We had a brilliant stay at Chancery House. The house is huge but still feels cosy and homely. Great layout, really well equipped, and loads of charm. Wells-next-the-Sea is such a great location too, with the harbour, beach, and cafes all within walking distance. One of the best big holiday homes we’ve stayed in!

  • "Easy to book, friendly communication and a great holiday"

    The whole booking process for Chancery House was super straightforward, with great communication throughout. Everything was clearly explained, and we felt really well looked after from start to finish. Great stay and we will be looking to book again
