Wigeon, Thornham, Norfolk

This was our second stay in Wigeon Cottage and we had a lovely time. The cottage is well located, the view over the marsh lovely. It is extremely well equipped, we have stayed in plenty worse. Highly recommended especially for a dog friendly break.

Wigeon cottage is a perfect location for enjoying the Norfolk coast with marshes and coastal walks right on the doorstep. The cottage itself is ideal, it has everything you need and was toasty warm in mid January. We’ve stayed here many times and hope to again in the future.

One of the best properties we've ever stayed in. Beautiful decor, really comfortable beds, every kitchen utensil you need. Really warm, clean and a lovely open plan living, cooking and dining space. So lovely to come back to at the end of the day. Plenty of parking spaces too. What's not to like!

Wigeon is a very comfortable and very well appointed house. Located in a peaceful position in Thornham you are moments from the sea and opposite fields where you can see barn owls hunting morning and evening. We have stayed at Wigeon three times now and will definitely go back.

Widgeon cottage is a delightful place to stay in North Norfolk. The cottage itself is beautiful and comfortable, complete with all the modern needs required for an easy stay.....a real home from home. The location is superb with walks literally outside the front door. If you have dogs there is a 20/25 min ramble through the marshes just to the right of the driveway as you go out and across the road. Thornham/Holme beach can be reached by the raised walk way just down from the Lifeboat pub and takes about 20 minutes. You will come to the planked walk way with sand dunes to the right. The beach itself is stunning and you hardly see a soul. The pubs in Thornham are great too (Lifeboat has to igloo pods in the garden area which you can reserve and have heating if you want something special or a bit of privacy, or have dogs that aren’t great mixers). And the Deli is fabulous for food throughout the day (food is really good), a browse of the shop areas and has wonderful foods to take away. Enjoy your stay at this little piece of heaven....

Wigeon cottage exceeded our expectations, it was well fitted out with everything required. The house coped with 6 adults providing plenty of room with ease. Thank you.

Having stayed in both Wigeon and its neighbour Sea Holly we will be booking again for next year. The properties are both highly appointed with good quality equipment and everything is maintained to a very high standard. The location in Thornham is perfect for early morning and late evening dog walks, the views across the marsh are uninterrupted and teeming with wildlife. One request please can we have a sun shade/umbrella for the outside table at Wigeon. Comfortable, practical and perfect for us. Of the two we have a preference but are not telling!

Enjoyed holiday so much we have already booked for August 2020. Spotless accommodation,superb location with three very good pubs serving excellent food within walking distance. Only two small niggles, the living room right side curtain was difficult to close and the freezer does need defrosting.

Widgeon Cottage is ideally situated for whatever type of holiday you need. Close to the coastal path for walking either short or longer with return options via the coastal bus service. The beach at Thonrham is a bit of a trek but worth the effort. Brancaster beach is well worth working out the tide times to give you access. The eateries are all good. Some I found a little pricey but The White Horse at Holme next the sea is great quality and value and dog friendly. Our stay this time was dented a little by the poor cleaning but this I hope has been resolved with the owner and the booking agents. Only subsequent revues will show whether this is the case. The popularity of this cottage is borne out by the fact that I cannot rebook for the weeks I would like next year. Will still be looking to find bookings for 2020. Don't believe it is possible not to enjoy a holiday based at Widgeon Cottage

We all enjoyed our stay. Grandad and Grandma, Mum and Dad and Arthur who celebrated his eighth birthday while we were there. There were things to do close at hand for all of us. The cottage was also ideal.
