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.

A superb and spacious property in the heart of the North Norfolk coastline. We have never stayed in such a large property and everyone had enough space in which to chill for the week. Visits to Holt, Wells Next The Sea, Sheringham Park and the Sea Life Centre at Hunstanton.
Lovely Sunday lunch at the Orange Tree in the village. Many thanks.
Very spacious family home with ample room to be together or enjoy a quiet time to read or snooze on your own. Beds huge and very comfortable. Bath sheets as opposed to bath towels a plus. Garden a good size with plenty of sun. Walking distance to 2 good pubs and deli. Enjoyed our stay!
Lovely house – great position for walking and local pubs. The house has all the amenities you need and is very comfortable and cosy to even though it is pretty quite large. Even though it was mid October – we didn’t need any heating on and had to keep the thermostats well down, because the house appeared naturally warm. We loved walking from the house to various pubs/beaches and really loved The Lord Nelson at Burnham Thorpe, which we walked to – a long walk, but well worth it.

Fabulous property in a brilliant area. We were away as a group of friends for a week, and there are several rooms to make sure that everyone can chill and be together without all feeling on top of each other.
A comfortable well furnished house with spacious accommodation. We were 8 friends staying together and there was ample room for us to relax without ever feeling crowded.
Having stayed in many houses over the years this ranks number one
Loved the space and the homely feel. It didn't feel like a 'rental' property but more like someone's home.
Very comfortable and exceedingly warm.
Thank you for the Christmas Tree!
The house was absolutely perfect for our family Christmas and we loved every second.
