Winter break
Sea Holly cottage is a very comfortable home from home house to stay with all needs catered for. Location is fabulous to walk out to the beach and also local shops, deli and pubs. What more could you ask for. Only slight negative to us was that we found sleeping in a double bed a little small but certainly wouldn’t stop us booking here again.

An excellent property, excellent location for walking and pubs for food.
This was our second stay in Sea Holly Cottage. The cottage is in a quiet location in a village offering good places to eat and a deli. There are beautiful views from the rooms at the front of the cottage. There are good walks straight out of the front door. The cottage is very attractively decorated and is extremely comfortable. There is a useful boot room with an entrance from the back of the cottage. The kitchen is well equipped with good quality crockery and utensils. The heating and hot water are very efficient and the log fire makes a cosy sitting area on chilly evenings. I’m sure we and our golden retriever will stay in the cottage again.

A lovely cottage.
Sea Holly Cottage is a fabulous place to stay, situated in the nice village. Good walks from the doorstep are a bonus, as are the three good pubs in Thornham.
