Thornham, North Norfolk

Thornham is an ideal holiday destination, perched on the apex of the North West Norfolk coastline and a thriving village. We are pleased to announce three new properties in Thornham for your consideration.

Map of Thornham showing the location of our cottages for rent.

What does Thornham offer holidaymakers?

Thornham's best-known pub is The Lifeboat Inn, situated as it is near the ancient coal barn* which used to supply the village. The locals may argue that other establishments are better such as The Orange Tree Inn and Restaurant. The truth is, that Thornham has come a long way in recent years and now has

The Lifeboat Inn

The Orange Tree Inn and Restaurant

The Chequers Inn

The Thornham Deli

Eric's Fish and Chips

The Yurt Thornham

What this means is that holidaymakers can now try a new place to eat every day of the week without leaving the village. Please note that some of them are a little out of the village and will require a short drive.

* The Coal Barn has been the subject of countless paintings over the years, situated at the water’s edge in Thornham Harbour it enjoys unrivalled and unique views and is surrounded by National Trust land. The barn sits alone adjacent to the beautiful marshes and creeks in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

During the 18th century, the Norfolk coastline was notorious for smuggling when wool, tea, tobacco and alcohol were unloaded off the creeks at Thornham. The Coal Barn was recently used in scenes from the BBC production of Great Expectations.

What about nearby villages?

The advantage is that a short drive also takes you to an even wider choice in places like:

Hunstanton (try the acclaimed Neptune Inn if you can get a table)

Holme (The White Horse)

Ringstead (The Gin Trap)

Titchwell (Briarfields, Titchwell Manor Hotel)

Brancaster (The Ship)

Brancaster Staithe (The Jolly Sailor or The White Horse)

Things to do during the day near Thornham

During the day there are all the things that people seek from a holiday in North Norfolk such as:

Beaches (Holme, Hunstanton, Brancaster)

Walks (Peddars Way, Norfolk Coast Path)

Salt Marshes (Be aware of the tides)

Bird Reserves (RSPB Titchwell & Snettisham, NWT Holme Dunes)

Golf Courses (Brancaster, Hunstanton, Heacham Manor)

Boating (Sailing, Water-skiing, Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, Paddle-boarding)

Stately Homes (Sandringham, Houghton, Holkham)

Rainy day entertainment in Hunstanton

If you like North Norfolk and have never tried the Thornham area, you may be pleasantly surprised. That is why we are so pleased to bring you three properties to choose from.

Three new properties available now

Lyng Farmhouse, Thornham, Sleeps 12

What’s On In Norfolk This Winter

The list of things to do in Norfolk each season gets bigger and bigger and is even more reason to book a holiday home in Norfolk.

youtube

Visit Norfolk and enjoy the Coast this Winter

Things to do in Norfolk – Enjoy the wonderful Beaches

Although we would not suggest building sandcastles at this time of year, we would certainly recommend visiting Norfolk's beaches. Wrap up warm and choose a dog-friendly beach such as Brancaster if you have dogs that need exercise. If the wind is blowing the pine trees at Holkham provide shelter from the cold. Walk from the Holkham car park to the East and you reach the iconic beach huts at Wells. There is a beach in easy reach whichever cottage you are staying in.

Things to do in Norfolk – Take the children crabbing

If you have children they are more likely to enjoy crabbing than longs walks on the beach. The equipment for this can often be found in one of our cottages but, if not, can be purchased locally. Bacon is often the best bait to use and is widely available – just attach it to a hand line for hours of entertainment.

Photographer: David Clode | Source: Unsplash

Things to do in Norfolk – Visit a Lifeboat Station

There are several lifeboat stations in Norfolk and the one at Wells-next-the-Sea has a very interesting history and is worth a visit. There are also stations at Sheringham and Cromer if that is closer to your holiday home – see our map at the end of this article to plan your trip.

Photographer: Rob Pumphrey | Source: Unsplash

Things to do in Norfolk – Walk along the cliff-tops

If walking is your thing then Norfolk has several cliffs which provide a great view over the sea. Cliffs can be found near West Runton, Cromer, Sheringham and Hunstanton. You could even stay in Coastguard Cottage and enjoy the view from the comfort of the upstairs lounge.

Things to do in Norfolk – stay in Coastguard Cottage

Things to do in Norfolk – Visit a nature reserve

Norfolk is a destination for bird watching and has several reserves with abundant migratory birds. You will notice some of these on your coastal walks but to really see them you need to get in a hide with a pair of binoculars. The RSPB has reserves at Snettisham, Titchwell and on the Norfolk Broads to the East and the Ouse Washes to the West. There are other nature reserves such as Sculthorpe Moor and Pensthorpe.

Photographer: Boris Smokrovic | Source: Unsplash

Things to do in Norfolk – Visit a seal colony

If you prefer something bigger you can see the seal colonies. There is a tiny one at Titchwell accessible on foot from Brancaster beach but the main one is at Blakeney. Beans Seal Trips will take you there by boat throughout the year.

Things to do in Norfolk – visit the seal colonies

Things to do in Norfolk – Enjoy local dishes

Visit a pub and enjoy local dishes such as game or mussels. The coasthopper bus service stops close to many such as The Jolly Sailors at Brancaster Staithe or The Golden Fleece in Wells and will save you from having to drive.

The Coasthopper passing through Wells-next-the-Sea

Things to do in Norfolk – Ride a steam train

Prefer trains to buses? Try the North Norfolk Railway which offers a range of trips including a dining experience and Christmas Specials. The Wells & Walsingham light railway is not open all of the time but is usually available during school holidays.

Things to do in Norfolk – The Walsingham Light Railway

Things to do in Norfolk – Visit Sandringham

Do as the Royals and spend Christmas in Norfolk. They are lucky enough to have an estate at Sandringham but we have several cottages nearby which could be yours for a week. Sandringham has many attractions for visitors not the least of which is the chance to see the Royal Family at Christmas.

Things to do in Norfolk – visit Sandringham

Things to do in Norfolk – Visit Thursford

If you haven't booked the Thursford Christmas Spectacular (which is not really for children) you will probably not get tickets. But at Thursford there is Santa's Magical Journey which is designed for children, but booking is essential.

youtube

Things to do in Norfolk – visit Thursford

Things to do in Norfolk – Go to a Pantomime

There are various other theatres with pantomimes in Norfolk, the best known are listed here for your convenience. Whichever of our cottages you choose to stay in there is always something nearby to help create happy memories of your stay in Norfolk.

See the main attractions near your Holiday Home

Railway Cuttings Cottage will be ready for Easter

Railway Cuttings Cottage available for Easter

One of our more popular cottages, Railway Cuttings Cottage in the village of Briston will be available for Easter 2020. The cottage has a new owner who is refurbishing it so that it will be in pristine condition by Easter.

Inside Railway Cuttings Cottage

Railway Cutting Cottage hints at the quality within as soon as you approach the front door. Being of modern flint construction it is built and finished to a very high standard. The main door and entrance hall is in the centre of the property off which are several doors to other rooms and a pay telephone.

Off to the right of the hallway is a very fully fitted kitchen with all the amenities you could wish for. You will find an electric cooker and hob, dishwasher, microwave and toaster. There is also a small breakfast bar with tall stools for typically staggered breakfasting as the holiday house wakes up.

Off the kitchen is a utility room with fridge freezer, washing machine and on the far side of that, there is a downstairs lavatory.

Off another door from the kitchen is access to the bright and airy dining table that easily seats 8 people plus a high chair. The French window doors off the dining area give it a bright outlook onto the patio in the back garden.

Off the dining area is a large lounge with three comfortable sofas, a great place to unwind after seeing some of Norfolk's hidden gem treasures.

Back out from the lounge into the hallway, the stairs lead up to the bedrooms.

Railway Cuttings Cottage Sleeping Arrangements

Railway Cuttings Cottage has the capacity to sleep eight altogether.

Four bedrooms in total:

A master double bedroom with en-suite shower room.

A bunk bedded room with space for a cot should it be required.

A further two twin bedded rooms one facing the rear and one to the front of the house.

All the bedrooms are well decorated and bright with high-quality bedding and towels provided.

The last room on the top floor is a well-appointed family bathroom.

Railway Cuttings Cottage Outside and Garden

To the rear, there is an extensive lawned garden with mature shrubs in borders. A rear paved patio area with patio furniture and BBQ, which is not overlooked.

The garden has views of the open fields that the property backs on to, with better views from the upstairs windows.

There is a garden shed available for guests to use (maybe storage for bicycles?) and an assortment of garden games.

The garden has a slight undulation and has been thoughtfully laid out to tire out the little ones.

To the front, there is a shingle drive that will enable up to 3 cars to park.

Surrounding area

The property is sited on the South-Eastern edge of Briston village. Backing onto estate land, there are fields and woodland as far as the eye can see.

The local Briston village boasts butchers, bakers and two local shops including a Co-op. There is a fresh fish shop in the village and in the next village a home delivery Chinese food outlet.

The village has two pubs with excellent food being prepared in them. One in easy walking distance of the cottage.

The cottage is only a short drive from the historic market town of Holt, a regular haunt of the Royal family when in Sandringham. There are regular shops and cafes together with plenty of excellent antique shops to peruse and book shops to lose yourself in.

Nearby are Morston National Trust (bird reserve and seal viewing trips) Blakeney, Cley and Salthouse. A little further East along the coast gets you to Sheringham, Cromer and Wells Next the Sea to the East.

Norwich is a 40-minute drive away as is Kings Lynn. Sandringham, Blickling and Holkham estates are all a great day out too. More details of places to visit can be found on our website and you can use this handy map to plan your week.

Park Farm Barn available for Christmas

Park Farm Barn has been one of our most popular holiday lets for Christmas and New Year. Until recently we were unable to offer it for hire due to renovations. The owner has now confirmed that the work is complete and we can start letting it out again. We apologise to everyone who has been forced to find somewhere else this Christmas.

Park Farm Barn is a 4-bed barn conversion in the heart of the North Norfolk countryside. Enjoy parkland views, easy access to the coast and a hot tub.

Park Farm Barn

Park Farm Barn is in a beautiful North Norfolk rural location near Little Barningham offering parkland views. With a hot tub and games room, it is a great place for groups of people to relax

The barn can sleep 8 adults plus 2 children and it is situated 7 miles south-east of the gorgeous Georgian town of Holt. The barn is 9 miles from the North Norfolk Coast, most of which is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Holt has excellent shops, boutiques, galleries, cafes, delis and restaurants.

Being finished to a very high standard the sumptuous space available swallows large numbers of guests with ease and creates a welcoming feeling. We have found that it is an experience that guests often want to repeat.

Park Farm Barn offers you a centralised country retreat from which to enjoy your stay in beautiful North Norfolk.

Park Farm Barn features

Wood burning stove, underfloor heating downstairs and radiators upstairs making it cosy and comfortable.

Aga with 4 electric ovens and 6 gas burners enables a top chef production line.

American fridge/freezer ensures plenty of space and the plumbed-in cold water and ice provides cooling and refreshment.

Microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, all labour saving.

50 inch TV with Freeview, Blu-ray DVD player and film library provides quality entertainment.

Broadband Wi-Fi and Landline telephone (with honesty box) so you can stay in touch.

iPod docking station and radio/CD player giving you an unlimited choice of music.

Sunken patio with garden furniture and barbeque enables alfresco dining and fun.

Games room – table tennis, table football and darts provide fun and competition for all ages.

Hot Tub in private rear garden for total spa-type relaxation.

Inside Park Farm Barn

On entry to this 200+-year-old dairy barn conversion, you are faced with two beautiful exposed wood beam mezzanine floors at each end with enclosed bedrooms and en-suites. The barn feels light and airy with a configuration that allows large groups of guests to have plenty of space.

There is a very large open plan living room with dining area with a double-sided wood-burning stove between them. The lounge area has comfortable sofas and chairs with a coffee table, large TV, and online and offline games.

The large wood-burning stove can be lit from both sides and a stock of logs is available for your use. However, the vast expanse of wooden flooring downstairs has underfloor heating controllable via room stats.

Tucked down the side of the mezzanine stairs is a spacious downstairs cloakroom and lavatory.

The formal dining area is one of 3 dining areas and is an excellent focal point for family meals. Just around the corner is a kitchen dining area with chairs and benches which is great for a chat while food preparation is taking place. In addition to the formal dining area, there is the kitchen dining area and patio dining area.

Just off the dining area is the bespoke fitted kitchen with an Aga. The Aga has a 6 ring gas hob and 4 electric ovens. There is a free-standing microwave oven on the worktops. A large American style refrigerator is fitted with plumbed-in water and an ice maker. The dishwasher is a must for this size property and a full complement of crockery and cooking utensils finishes it all off.

Park Farm Barn Interior

Sleeping in Park Farm Barn

There are two king-size en-suite bedrooms, one on each mezzanine floor. One of the mezzanine floors has a decorative single day bed that can be made up for full occupation. On the ground floor, there are two twin-bedded rooms one with a trundle bed that provides an extra single bed. Between the two twin-bedded rooms is a family bathroom with a quality roll-top Norfolk Shower Bath.

Park Farm Barn Bedroom

Games Room

Through a door off the kitchen, you can access the games room; this includes a table tennis table, table football and dartboard with all the associated apparatus needed to have a great time. The games room has been a huge hit and there have been many cross-generation games played and enjoyed in there. Good-natured debates about the differing standards in umpiring abilities “in this day and age” tend to continue well into the night.

Park Farm Barn Games Room

Off the games room is a utility area with a washing machine and tumble drier.

Outside and garden

Park Farm Barn Outside

The rear of the property has a large area set to lawn with screening fences and hedges keeping it private.

Within the screened fence and to one side of the sunken patio raised above it is the Hot Tub. You can sit and soak up the experience while talking to people sitting at the patio table.

Within the large lawn is a sunken patio that leads into the rear of the property. On the patio is a large outdoor dining area with permanent seating for 8. There are a parasol and a Barbecue unit for great summer parties. Also sited on the patio is the wood store to feed the wood-burning stove on chilly evenings.

Sheringham, Holt and Cromer are only a short drive away for your pleasure. Days out are simple as Park Farm Barn is centrally located and less than 10 miles from the North Norfolk coast.

Using this handy map you can see where our cottages are in relation to local attractions.

What’s On in Norfolk this Autumn

What's on in Norfolk from this Autumn? We listed an array of things to do in Spring and Summer earlier in the year and can not wait to see what is coming for next year, we will be sure to let you know ahead of time to help you plan for those too.

What's on in Norfolk – Wildlife

North Norfolk is famous for attracting large numbers of migratory birds for the winter. Chief amongst them is the Pinkfoot Goose which breeds in Iceland and spends the winter primarily in the UK. Whether or not you are interested in birds, you can hardly miss them in North Norfolk in the Autumn. Their favourite food is sugar beet tops left after the harvest. As they prefer to eat in daylight they can be seen and heard flying to their feeding grounds in the morning and returning in the evening. They typically roost somewhere safe from natural predators such as on tidal sandbanks or beaches.

youtube

A common sight in North Norfolk

There are many bird reserves in North Norfolk, perhaps one of the best areas in the country for seeing wildlife. Try one of these

RSPB Titchwell.

Pensthorpe

RSPB Snettisham

What's on in Norfolk – Christmas Spectacular

Norfolk is also world-famous for the Thursford Christmas Spectacular built up over many years by John Cushing and now run day to day by his sons. It has to be seen to be believed.

What's on in Norfolk

Thursford’s Christmas Spectacular has attracted over 5.7 million visitors to date and it is now generally recognised as being the largest show of its kind in the country, if not Europe. Up to fifty coaches per day travel from all over the country and many people turn the trip into a mini holiday why not stay in one of our lovely holiday cottages?

It is set in the magical surroundings of mechanical organs and fairground carousels, with a cast of 120 professional singers, dancers and musicians – most of whom are straight out the West End. The three-hour performance delivers an extravaganza of non-stop singing, dancing, music, humour and variety. It’s a fast-moving celebration of the festive season featuring an eclectic mix of both seasonal and year-round favourites, with famous and much-loved chart toppers being performed alongside traditional carols.

What's on in Norfolk – Local Food

There is much more to do and one of the other seasonal delights is the mussel season. In the video below you can see one of Norfolk's best-known fishermen, Cyril Southerland of Brancaster Staithe, being interviewed about the Autumn.

youtube

What's on in Norfolk this Autumn

If you are quick you can book a cottage for Norfolk Restaurant week which runs from 28th October to the 8th November. Many local restaurants put on great value meals during the week which enables you to eat out at a much-reduced cost.

What's on in Norfolk – Walks

To build your appetite you can visit the woodlands and parks and enjoy the autumn colours as the leaves turn. The stately homes such as Sandringham, Houghton, Holkham, Blickling and Felbrigg are surrounded by wonderful parks and woodlands. Here are details of the National Trust Norfolk properties and activities. Here is a full programme of events at Holkham. The Sandringham Christmas Crafts, Food and Gifts show is worth a visit if you are in Norfolk on 15-17 November.

There are great shows on around the county take a look at Kings Lynn, Norwich and the end of Pier in Cromer.

Coastguard Cottage Now Available

Coastguard Cottage was first introduced on this blog at the end of July and is now ready to rent. You can read all about it on our website so we won't repeat everything here. Instead, we will describe the general area and the experience of living on the edge of a cliff overlooking the North Sea.

Norfolk Coast Path

Below you can see a short section of the Norfolk Coast Path between Weybourne and Sheringham. You can actually see where the path is diverted behind Coastguard Cottage because the cliffs are now too close to the end of the garden. Don't worry, it is perfectly safe and the garden is well fenced.

Coastguard Cottage Location

The Norfolk Coast Path runs for 84 miles from Hunstanton to Hopton-on-Sea. Much of this walking trail runs through the dramatic landscape of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The path runs through seaside towns and villages, tidal marshes teeming with wildlife, wide sandy beaches and pine woodlands. You can really appreciate North Norfolk's huge skies.

Download an overview map of Norfolk Coast Path or view Norfolk Coast Path on the interactive map.

The original Norfolk Coast Path combines with the Peddars Way which it joins at Holme-next-the-Sea. This forms the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail, one of 15 National Trails in England and Wales.

It is possible to walk in either direction from Coastguard Cottage as far as you like and then use public transport to get back to Weybourne. From there you can walk back to Coastguard Cottage. Or you can use the Coast Bus Service to take you to and from a specific walk further afield.

Coastguard Cottage

Coastguard Cottage garden

The coast guards used the cottage due to its natural vantage point and many of the original features are still there. The picture at the top of the page was the duty room and is now the lounge due to its views. For years there was a generator for electricity and now there are less noisy solar panels and batteries. The atmosphere inside is a bit like being on board a ship, with the wooden panelling. The cottage has been tastefully modernised and brought up to the latest health & safety standards to ensure a comfortable stay. However, you will have to rely on your mobile data signal as there is no internet service at the property. People come here to get away and unwind!

For more information on the facilities at Coastguard Cottage please visit our website. There we provide a room by room description with more photographs.
