  • A cosy and welcoming cottage set in a tranquil coastal village in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just 2 miles from the beach
  • This is a perfect base for birdwatchers, nature-lovers, walkers and families to explore the coast and countryside of North Norfolk
  • Perfect for visiting the Sandringham Royal Estate and gardens, Brancaster and RSPB Titchwell Marsh
Property code: KT104

Charming, new-build holiday cottage, with an exterior designed with traditional chalk and brick-stylings. Sleeping six guests, this property is ideally situated close to the North Norfolk coast at the heart of the picturesque village of Thornham. Perfect for family holidays, you will feel at home in this attractive home-from-home with its spacious lounge and restful bedrooms.

After a long day of touring the area, you why not take some time out to sit around the woodburner or delve into the DVD collection to catch up with an old film. If you like baking and cooking, the kitchen is more than conducive to concocting some wild dishes. Alternatively, drop in at the nearby pub, the Orange Tree, the local farm shop, or the excellent delicatessen.

Bird and nature lovers flock to this coast for the expansive nature reserves and the RSPB's Cley-next-the-Sea attraction with its miles of trails and bird reserves. Head to the beaches at Brancaster or Hunstanton for unbounded swathes of sand and dunes (both under 6 miles away). Fun days out include the wonderful Sandringham Estate (11.5 miles away) and a shopping trip to King's Lynn.

The cottage is in a great location and just a 10 minute walk to the lifeboat inn and the coastal walks. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable and we had another memorable holiday on one of our favourite locations in Norfolk

Not really suitable to park an SUV in the small car park. The property is on a busy and noisy road.. The bathroom shower was broken and the handheld bath shower leaked and was not great. The boiler did not work and we had to use the immersion. The toilet seats in the bathroom and cloakroom were loose and there were no toilet roll holders in either.Read more The fridge freezer too small and very low to the ground. There were a few other problems, however the beds were great, also the technology. Hide

Lovely cottage with plenty of space for six people. Only downside - as mentioned in previous reviews - is TINY fridge. Nowhere near big enough for 6 people. Very nice cottage with otherwise great amenities though.

Overall the the cottage was ok but I feel the owner needs to listen to some of the previous reviews the fridge is way too small and for someone with any sort of mobility issues impossible the chairs in dining area are missing most of the bolts and personally I feel dangerous. The position of the couch leaves about 12 gap to get upstairs and about 6Read more to get to downstairs toilet and front door. The road noise in the front bedroom is not good if you are planning a lay in between 7&9 is really loud Hide
