Located in the former smuggling village of Thornham, this magnificent three-bedroom stone cottage is in a fantastic location near to the Norfolk Coastal path.
Close to the heart of the village and the local pub, Wigeon Cottage boasts superb views across the marshes.
Beautifully curated with coastal inspired contemporary interiors, this hideaway also features a fully enclosed garden. Wigeon Cottage is one of our most popular properties, attracting holidaying groups, walkers, and bird watchers.
Thoughtfully designed to maximise the light from the property's south-facing aspect, the cottage has a lovely spacious and roomy feel throughout. The ground floor comprises of a generous open-plan living environment featuring underfloor heating throughout.
With ever-changing marsh views, the sitting area provides ample comfortable seating appointed around a wood burning stove.
Nestle in after a day spent in the big outdoors and enjoy the warmth of this space as ambient light from the flames flickers around the room.
The adjacent well-equipped kitchen offers a Range cooker and a comprehensive range of units with Earthstone worktops, making it the ideal space to create a delicious feast from the areas delectable local produce.
Seating for six guests is available around a traditional farmhouse table.
Perfect for gathering together over breakfast to plan the day ahead, or for sharing food, wine and conversation long into the evening.
A perfect blend of contemporary and traditional styling, the ground floor features plenty of quaint seaside curiosities. Ascend the custom made glass balustrade staircase to the first floor where three double rooms are located.
The twin-aspect master bedroom hosts a French antique style double bed, and is served by an en-suite shower room providing a large walk-in rainfall shower.
Overlooking the rear garden, bedroom two offers a wrought iron double bed and black-out blind.
Twin beds feature in bedroom three.
These bedrooms are served by a family bathroom providing a large bath with rainfall shower over.
All with vaulted ceilings to maximise light and space, these bedrooms have been beautifully curated using tongue-and-grove panelling decorated in a muted colour palette, with beds dressed in good quality linens and sumptuous soft furnishings to ensure that guests experience a much-needed restorative deep sleep. Outside, the fully enclosed rear garden features a spacious patio area with garden furniture overlooking the lawn.
The accompanying barbecue beckons guests to dine al fresco on warm summer evenings under the twinkling outdoor lighting.
Situated in a quiet corner of the garden, a charming pagoda makes an idyllic spot to share a tranquil moment, and perhaps a carafe of wine.
Circumvented by willow fencing, the garden is a safe place for supervised children and dogs to play.
Ample off-road parking for up to three cars is available to the front of the property. Additional Information: Two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge). Please bring your own Essenza pods for the Nespresso coffee machine. Sorry, no Tennis Week guests. Bedding provided is feather. Maximum occupancy is six guests, including infants.

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.
Very good

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.
