History

Thornham is named after the Old English meaning ‘homestead or village where the thorn trees grow’. The village has a rich history and many of the buildings date back to the 16th Century. Archaeological evidence dates as far back as the Bronze Age. The village had a prosperous harbour 200 years ago and a fascinating story of a smugglers Inn and a bandit’s hideout.

Guest reviews

Cherry House is a great holiday home for families. Spacious, clean and nicely presented, it was also well equipped with the practical things we needed. Our grandchildren loved the toys, and the playroom gives an additional living space. The beds were comfortable with good lightweight bedding.Good parking and secure garden.
We loved the house which had plenty of space for our 3 generation family. We were lucky with the weather and spent every day on either Old Hunstanton or Brancaster beaches. Lovely visit to Eric’s, who could meet the dietary needs of one of our grandchildren, and had a great garden/playground where we could eat. We enjoyed evening drinks at the White Horse at Brancaster overlooking the marsh.
