Beautiful house with plenty of space for 6 people. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The outdoor space was fabulous for the children and we spent a lot of time enjoying the gardens. The location was perfect and the local deli was well worth a visit. We had an incredible few days in Thornham. Thank you for hosting us at your beautiful home

We (party of 8) stayed over New Year and had a very good time. The house is very well located, and exactly as advertised. We were very promptly supported by the owner when we needed assistance. We'd all definitely use it again if we come back to North Norfolk.

Lovely property in a quiet location

Lovely property. Ideal for family groups. We had three generations and it was ideal having the two downstairs rooms meaning Grandparents didn't have to manage stairs. The generous garden was also a big bonus. Also being close to lovely beaches and a wonderful farm shop.

Another fantastic stay at Dale cottage

Plenty of room for us all (4 adults and 2 babies 2). Travel cot and high chair available to use - very handy. Huge garden for 2 year old to run about in. Lovely cottage, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. And a great location for visiting our favourite places along the coast. We’ll definitely be back.

Susan - thanks for the kind comments about the cottage and we're glad to know that the village worked for you. The weather can't always be predicted on the coast so we set out to make sure that the cottage has things to do even if the weather isn't kind.

Fantastic family holiday

We have just returned from a week long break over Easter staying at Dale Cottage and we had a fantastic time. The house was beautiful and very spacious and our 3 children loved the garden and all the toys that were available to them. I would highly recommend Dale Cottage as it is situated in the lovely village of Thornham which is a great base for a wonderful holiday in north Norfolk... we will definitely be going back and staying there again.

Excellent for a multi-generational family holiday

The cottage met all expectations for our family holiday to celebrate a significant birthday milestone! Thank you for providing space for all 9 of us, ranging from 20 months-70 years old, in which to relax and enjoy the spacious garden. It was a welcome return for some to wonderful North Norfolk and a first time for others, made even more special by a week of glorious weather. Precious family memories made!

Really lovely

Really nice house in the lovely Thornham. Lots of room for 8 of us. Garden is a good size for the kids to play in - could have done with the grass being cut as it was v long. Summer house will be a lovely addition when it’s done especially on a sunny evening. House has everything you need and host very helpful before our stay updating us on the area.

Family friendly & Fantastic location

Booked this last minute and first time to north norfolk. Great location with Hunstanton just 10 mins away and had everything we needed for our young family. Brancaster beach 5 mins the other way with a long sandy beach. Very nice! Dale cottage was home from home. Beautiful big garden and my 4 year old son and our auntie up early everyday to see the woodpecker and pheasant mooching about! Very clean homely and modern home set in a beautiful village. Local pubs, farm shop with fantastic restaurant which we ate in 3/4 days! Highly recommend and cant wait to return...

Perfection in beautiful north Norfolk

Dale cottage is everything we wanted for our long weekend in beautiful north Norfolk. The cottage itself was immaculate, perfectly set up for 2 families (4 kids) has a wonderful garden (front and back!) and ample parking. It’s situated in a really pretty and quiet village with a great local pub and a superb deli a five minute walk away. Drove Orchard is also around 10 minutes away which offers fish and chips, pizzas and all sorts. We spent the weekend driving to various beaches and visiting other villages which are all within close proximity. There are beautiful walks on the doorstep also. All in all we had one of the best weekends away with friends and we’ll be back!

Fabulous stay

What a wonderful family weekend stay we've had at Dale Cottage. The property is spacious, stylish and very well equpped and the garden is absolutely amazing. It's huge! Wonderful to see children running around on the lawn in the sunshine as the weather was unexpectly very good! This is a brilliant house for family groups as there are different seating areas but a lovely big kitchen table to gather round at mealtimes. It was recommended to me by two different family friends who had both loved it and I also highly recommend! Host Dave was great and made everything easy and straightforward sending us all the info we needed beforehand. Thank you Dave for a fabulous break!

Thornham Revisited

I first visited North Norfolk in my late teens, a boy from the North discovering this very different world. It was love at first sight. Later marrying a Cambridge girl, and moving to Cambridge, we were able to enjoy many visits, and Thornham became a favourite, certainly in the Winter. We would walk on the salt marsh, as far as the beach, and then repair to the Lifeboat Inn for lunch, just bliss. The front of Dale Cottage is built in the Norfolk vernacular, flint with red brick, an architecture which makes this stretch of coast particularly lovely. But behind the front door of this humble cottage is a modern built interior with every comfort one could need. The salt marsh is still bleak. To return to a home like this is just perfect after a day or hours outside, the log burning stove in Autumn or Winter, the delightful and private back garden in summer. My weekend was my birthday celebration with my daughter's family, and so with two of our grandchildren. Dale cottage is very well equipped with toys to fascinate the young. They shared a charming children's bedroom upstairs. From first booking we have had nothing but help and advice from the owner. He and the house get my personal imprimatur, without mental reservation as they say when swearing in the American President. Keep up the standard. Kenneth Wheatcroft November 2017

It was particularly nice to hear about the long-standing affinity that you and many other guests have with this unspoilt part of Britain.
