A home that’s as charming inside as out, this lovely cottage in the popular village of Thornham is the perfect base for those looking to make the most out of the North Norfolk coast. Combining period charm with modern comforts, you’ll have no trouble making yourself at home in the inviting beamed living area, where plump sofas and a wood-burning fire beckon snuggly evenings when the weather is cool. To the front of your home, you’ll find a lawned garden – ideal for sunny days when lawn games are in order – while to the back of the cottage, a table, chairs and a barbecue complete the picturesque patio. With two comfortable bedrooms as well as a sleek bathroom with a deliciously enticing tub, you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay by the coast. When it comes to sightseeing, the Thornham Marsh nature reserve is a paradise for walkers and birdwatchers, while Thornham Old Harbour is an eighteen-minute walk away. You’re also a seven-minute drive from Brancaster Beach and the coastal town of Hunstanton is just four miles away. We recommend catching the Coast Hopper bus that takes you to Wells-next-the-Sea where you can try your hand at crabbing on the quay, or spot seals at nearby Morston.
