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.

Nestled between the villages of Holme-next-the-Sea and Titchwell both with bird and wildlife visitors’ centres RSPB Titchwell and NWT Nature reserve. There are many other villages to explore within a short distance like Brancaster, Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham with their great family beaches. Brancaster Staithe is popular with sailors and courses and lessons can be taken here or at Morston. You can learn to be a smuggler, explore the coast or sail the creeks with The Coastal Exploration Company, or take a seal trip to Blakeney Point from Morston Quay. Dalegate Market in Burnham Deepdale is a nice area to visit the shops or visit the quintessential village of Burnham Market where you can source most Norfolk delicacies from the independent and quaint shops that surround the village green.

Lovely. Cottage, very well equipped and well situated for the north Norfolk coast .wonderful walks and bird watching especially from Thornham Harbour out to the beach. After that a nice cool drink at The. Lifeboat ,what more could you want from a perfect Norfolk holiday. Being in Norfolk is one big ten day highlight. Excellent service from Sowerbys as normal .
We had a lovely stay the house was clean, well situated, and had a lovely cosy feel to it. Kitchen was well equipped and a lovely large living area which worked perfectly for us (4 adults and 3 young children). Bedrooms for a generous size and all were very comfortable. If we are back in Norfolk we would absolutely stay again. Family meals round the large dining table, had a paddling pool in the enclosed garden which was perfect for the children.
What a beautiful place! We had a thoroughly enjoyable week of walking, exploring North West Norfolk, with Harrier Cottage providing a wonderfully comfortable base.”
Lovely few days in Harrier Cottage. Perfect for our family of five, fantastic location with just a short walk to a couple of great pubs with good food. Can’t wait to go back!”
We enjoyed our stay at Harrier Cottage and were pleasantly surprised at how much Thornham had to offer. We enjoyed Birdwatching at Titchwell; Drove Orchards; Eric's fish & chips; Creake Abbey; crab salad at No Twenty in Burnham Market; meal at The Lifeboat Inn Thornham
A really bright and cheerful property, very clean and well equipped with everything to make a short break enjoyable. We liked that it was modern and well equipped, also the Location!
Harrier Cottage in Thornham was better than expected. 10 out of 10 for cleanliness and the garden too! The layout and 2 bedrooms having en-suite a and the main bathroom having a separate shower. We would stay at Harrier in Thornham again!
Even though we had seen the lovely pictures online there is always a possibility that in reality it may not be as nice.
However upon arrival we were all pleasantly surprised at the quality.
We loved the cosy homely feeling the cottage had, we felt really at home.
We were all very happy with the cottage and will thoroughly recommend not only this cottage but Sowerbys as a company.
Second visit so knew what to expect.
Stunning decor, layout, superbly equipped
Will definitely return stunning
A lovely cottage to stay in!
Thank you!
