Enjoying a quiet location in a picturesque coastal village, this beautiful cottage is a tranquil getaway for couples, friends and smaller families looking for a peaceful holiday home in a gorgeous part of Norfolk. Offering spacious accommodation for up to four guests, the property has been sympathetically updated while retaining all its original charm. Tastefully furnished and decorated in bright soothing shades, this characterful retreat features timber beams, stone flooring and a welcoming wood burner, making a fantastic getaway for walkers, nature lovers and cyclists exploring the area’s lovely coastline and breathtaking countryside.

The cosy lounge/diner makes a lovely space for everyone to unwind in, with a Smart TV, plenty of seating, a wood burner set in the fireplace and exposed timber beams in the ceiling. The charming dining area is perfect for enjoying a family feast which you can rustle up in the fully equipped shaker-style kitchen. Steep, winding cottage-style stairs with a rope banister lead up to the first floor. Here you will find the stylish family bathroom and the two cosy bedrooms: a cheerful twin and a sweet double with a feature fireplace. Outside, the south-facing back courtyard has a table and chairs and makes a lovely spot for dining alfresco on a sunny summer’s afternoon. There’s also a gravelled parking area to the front alongside a charming lawn garden.

Thornham is a delightful village with a quaint harbour, a wide sandy beach and a choice of great places to eat and drink. This is a great base for birdwatchers, with RSPB Titchwell just over a mile away, looking out over the marshes towards Thornham Point.

Excellent cottage which we have booked before and will probably do so again. The stairs could be a problem if our mobility worsens with advancing years

Clock cottage was a very well appointed and supremely comfortable cottage in a really fab location. Its tastefully decorated with a lovely bathroom.

And the pubs, which all serve good food, are all less than a 10 minute walk. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this cottage whole heartily Hide

Lovely relaxed stay in a beautiful location. Welcome pack was a really nice surprise as was the cleanliness of the cottage throughout. Everything you could need from a relaxing cottage stay. The stairs might be steep for some, but the rope handle really helped and along with the low lintel doorway into the lounge/kitchen it certainly makes for a quRead moreirky characterful abode. Lots of useful material to read through available and many walks and eateries from the doorstep. Parking also handy and easy. Wonderful stay Hide

Beautiful little cottage which is very clean and furnished so tastefully. The lovely courtyard off the kitchen is a great sun trap during the day. The only setback is the staircase which is totally unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Given the information above, I dont think it sensible to review our stay prior to our recommendations being implemented. Similarly recommend a friend would not be positive given our findings. I would be happy to discuss my comments with a lettings manager if you would like have more information on the matter.

Very clean cottage. Positioned well to explore the north norfolk coast. Good range of places to eat in the village if you don't fancy cooking. Stairs are steep so not suitable for someone who has difficulties with stairs

A very comfortable and cosy cottage. Good quality furnishings and a well-equipped kitchen with range of appliances. The private courtyard at the back was a lovely spot for afternoon tea.
