About this property

Church Cottage, Thornham, Norfolk

This delightful white-washed, detached character cottage dates back to 1646 and is one of the oldest cottages in Thornham. Located on the edge of the saltmarshes that border the coastline, Church Cottage offers its guests an opportunity to experience an authentic Norfolk cottage in a stunning location.

Church Cottage is a charming property that provides eclectic interiors throughout, including a lovely open-plan kitchen/dining room and a separate living room with a cosy wood burning stove and beams. It is a real home from home with the added bonus of splendid views over the fields and just a minute's walk to the coastal path,

This cottage is spacious and well-equipped and over the years has become a firm favourite with Norfolk Hideaways' guests. Commanding wonderful views from all the front windows towards the sea, you are only a short walk to the beach and a few minutes to the centre of the village with its plethora of eateries. With three award-winning pub/restaurants; The Orange Tree; The Chequer's and The Lifeboat Inn and the Thornham Deli cafe/restaurant in the centre of the village with its excellent local produce, you are spoilt for choice. Walk a little further to the edge of the village and you will be rewarded with Drove Orchards where you'll find arguably the best fish and chips along the coast at Eric's and Gurney's fresh fish counter. With so much walking, eating and discovering literally on your doorstep, you won't even have to take your car out if you don't want to.

Church Cottage is perfect for those who want to unwind and enjoy their surroundings.

Great location but need updating
Church Cottage in Thornham is ideally based for exploring the North Norfolk Coast and it is situated overlooking open fields towards the Marsh, and coastline. There is also off road parking which really convenient. Inside there is a well equipped kitchen. We didn't find the old sofas in the lounge particularly comfortable. There were too many odd chairs everywhere and it all looked like a second hand furniture shop. We found the bed comfortable but when saw the mattress underneath the plastic sheet we were disappointed to see that it was unpalatably stained. Overall this cottage needs updating, but the bonus was that that despite it being cold outside the heating was good and we were not cold.

Wonderful return to Norfolk
We had another absolutely fabulous time in Church Cottage and it was great that we could be joined by friends. The location is superb for birdwatching and our telescope was trained on the Barn Owl box for most of our stay. The facilities in the cottage are excellent and we can’t wait to go back.

Cottage by the sea with cobwebs
Not up to expected cleanliness with several cobwebs about. Loose rugs on carpets are a trip hazard.No mats in showers so very slippery. Heating difficult to operate. Only 7 dishwasher tablets provided and an inch of fairy liquid.

1 week stay in February 2022
Pluses - location, spaciousness, beds and bedding fresh and comfortable, kitchen well equipped. Minuses - heating controlled remotely, some radiators not working, both showers leaking resulting in drips through living area ceilings, living room settee and easy chair extremely shabby and uncomfortable. Heating and television instructions absent or inadequate.

Beautiful views
Beautiful views - location is fab right on coastal path. The village is lovely 3 pub/restaurants & deli plus the drovers where you can get everything you need including the papers! The cottage is tired inside not the usual high standards of norfolk hideaways but price reflects this. Uncomfortable sofa & suggest the seating needs replacing. Lots of mats/rugs which dont coordinate gives a bohemian effect - but possibly not so good for looks. The single rooms are small, so ok if you want to use one as a dressing room but lovely main room! Kitchen good facilities although small. Parking is not really for 2 cars unless they are small as the only way into property is round the back - so have to lug everything either down slippery steps or on road. So with some tlc the cottage would be a perfect hideaway - re instate either the side door in study or front door to make life easier!
