Lyng Farmhouse Thornham

Sleeps 12, from £1100 to £2500 per week

Lyng Farmhouse is a rambling Georgian farmhouse in a rural location, next to a working farm, which is literally "off the beaten track".

It is located about 1.5 miles inland from the coastal village of Thornham, with its stunning creeks and walks out to the wide sandy beach, as well as a choice of 3 good local places to eat and drink.

Thornham

Location

At the western end of the North Norfolk coast, Thornham is situated on the scenic A149 coastal road, roughly half-way between Hunstanton and the Burnhams. This is a village of fewer than 500 inhabitants, however it is now increasingly popular with its excellent selection of places to eat, the unspoilt coastline and nearby RSPB reserve at Titchwell.

There is a beautiful unspoilt beach for those willing to hike the mile or so out along the coastal path, but the characteristic landscape here is one of marshes and salt water inlets. Thornham had a prosperous harbour 200 years ago (particularly for smugglers it seems), and still has a small boat harbour today, as well as rugged Thornham Creek, which is a popular spot for artists and photographers. Down by the marshes the Old Lifeboat Inn, built in the 16th century, has recently been taken over by Marco Pierre White and provides excellent food and drink throughout the day.

In the centre of the village, locally caught seafood  is served at The Orange Tree pub opposite All Saints church – an impressive building with 15th century foundations. Thornham has a third good place to eat - The Old Coach House which serves delicious home-cooked pizzas and is ideal for families.

Thornham has a great range of local amenities with an excellent village deli and cafe, a childrens' playground and a tennis court.

Just along the coast road heading towards Hunstanton is Drove Orchards which opens seasonally for the sale of a wide range of locally sourced fresh foods from its award-winning farm shop and has an amazingly wide variety of pick-your-own fruits.
