GUESTS LOVE ANCHORAGEWELLS. com LOCATION. Rooms are booked on a room only basis, no meals, or in one of our lovely 1 bedroom apartments on self catering. As Advertised the property does not have parking and do not offer breakfast as guests prefer to make the most of all the lovely places nearby at a time that suits them and will get free on street parking by following the information and parking tips that will be sent by the host. The apartments have a parking space but not the rooms. Your booking is not confirmed until you have replied to the hosts email to check that you have seen the room pictures and description, as the rooms are in a 16th century cottage that retains many character features, such as a Norfolk Winder Staircase, beams and original doorways. There is also a room on the ground floor for guests that prefer no stairs. The Apartments are in newer modern buildings on separate listings or can be booked direct for the best rate and information.

Your host, a marine mammal medic, coastwatch keeper, former harbour commissioner and local seal expert, will text to offer to meet you on your first morning on the terrace to talk about the local seals, seal rescue, about seal behaviour. or even about a secret seal colony. You can learn all about the best places and times to see the seal pups, about their behaviour, problems they face and how you can enjoy seeing them safely for you and the seals. As a marine mammal medic I am on call to check and rescue seals. Our most famous one being on this link Relashio who had an engine air filter around his neck and after the Hunstanton vet operated on him on a Sunday night in their own time and Sealife kept him in hospital for a couple of months he was nursed back to full health and released. Further information and updates will be added to my page. For more information on this visit British Diver Marine Life Rescue a voluntary network of trained marine mammal medics who respond to call outs from the general public, HM Coastguard, Police, RSPCA and SSPCA and are the only marine animal rescue organisation operating across England, Wales and Scotland.
