About Captains Cottage

Enjoying a peaceful location on the edge of Thornham, this family-friendly holiday home is ideally located for adventures on the North Norfolk coast. Boasting sublime views over the sea and marshes, with easy access to local pubs and shops, this spacious and beautifully appointed property accommodates up to eight guests in four bedrooms and welcomes up to two well-behaved pups.

The lounge has a definite wow factor with high ceilings, exposed beams, a feature fireplace and French doors leading to a balcony with uninterrupted views over the sea and marshes. In keeping with the decor throughout the house, the furniture is stylish yet comfortable and the colour scheme calming and neutral. The light and fresh kitchen and dining room is also upstairs. Perch at the breakfast bar with a glass of wine while the appointed chef rustles up dinner, then gather together at the dining table to feast in the bay window, which looks over the marshes. On lovely sunny days, you may prefer to enjoy a BBQ in the sunny, south-facing garden. With three bedrooms downstairs and the master suite upstairs, three bathrooms, and a utility room, this delightful property has everything you need. With a number of gastro pubs, a superb deli/cafe, and easy access to the beach and coastal path, Thornham makes a wonderful base. Drove Orchards is just over half a mile away offering a farm shop and selection of shops and eateries, while the entire coastline is a delight for walkers and nature lovers with RSPB Titchwell, Holme Dunes and Scolt Head all within 6 miles. For traditional seaside entertainment, head to Hunstanton (4.5 miles), or go inland to the Royal Sandringham Estate (13.5 miles).

Captains Cottage Reviews

Jo
Our third stay at Captain's Cottage and as good as ever. Will definitely return in 2026.
Julia
Captains Cottage is in a lovely location, situated in Thornham village next door to the Lifeboat Inn, with magnificent views of the countryside towards the sea. Itâ??s within easy access of local villages, beaches, attractions and services. This spacious property is really fabulous for families and small groups. Well equipped and comfortable.The local property manager is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
Anne
Captains Cottage is perfect for a group of friends or family members. It is spacious, has a well equipped kitchen and is comfortable throughout. There are fabulous views and easy access to the coastal path for a delightful walk to Norfolk Wildlife Trust Holme Dunes visitor centre. Whilst the cottage is situated next door to The Lifeboat Inn, which has excellent service, food and wine - well worth a visit, the area was very peaceful. We were a group of friends and we intend to return.
Andrea
Fantastic holiday in Captains Cottage with the whole family. Beautiful location, stunning views, and lots of great walks right on your door step. The house has everything you could want, with plenty of room and a good secure garden, which we wanted as we had two dogs with us. Good parking for several cars and local facilities in the village all within a few minutes. We had such a great time we have already booked to go back next year.
David
The property is in a fantastic quiet location, with beautiful views over the salt marsh, dunes and sea beyond. Very clean and well equipped with spacious rooms and bedrooms. The beds are extremely comfortable. Plenty of parking for a property that can accommodate eight people.
Wendy
Had a lovely week at Captains Cottage. Nice peaceful location. Everything was as described. Good location and lovely village. Enjoyed by our family and would definitely recommend.
Gareth
We had a wonderful week in Captains Cottage. The location is fantastic with easy access to the Norfolk Coast Path which offers lovely walks amongst the salt marshes as well as access to the beach. Thornham is a fabulous village with a great deli, farm shop, fishmongers, ice cream, pizza and fish and chips. There are also several pubs and restaurants within a 5 minute walk. Captains Cottage has everything you could wish for - really spacious, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and powerful showers. We could not have asked for more and will definitely be back.
Alan
This is a wonderful house in a very special location. Waking every morning to frost and muntjac and the kestrel in the meadow. Views over the meadow to the Coal Barn and marsh and sea and sky - this is why I chose Captains Cottage. From sunrise to sunset, we spent time on the balcony every day. Living upstairs brings out the very best of the house and its location.
