Willow Lodge - Sleeps 6
Thornham, Norfolk, UK
Introduction
From its chalkstone exterior to the driftwood details scattered throughout, this is a coastal bolthole brimming with seaside soul. Open-plan living invites slow-start mornings, easygoing days of exploring, and firelit evenings shared with your favourite people. And then there are the in-between moments—the movie marathons and games of pool in the snug, the quiet corners made for books and brews.
Step outside and the magic continues. Think deli-fresh breakfasts, hidden beaches and hushed creeks, hearty post-beach feasts in cherished local pubs, boutique browsing, pizza nights in twinkling yurts, and adventure waiting around every bend of this charming village.

Inside
Step inside Willow Lodge and you’ll be wrapped in a rich blend of earthy hues, soft textures, and contemporary comforts—each space thoughtfully layered with subtle nods to its coastal roots. Whether the skies are blue or brooding, wake to the sound of the sea and then ease into the day with coffee in hand and laughter spilling across the oversized sofa as plans unfold.
Come evening, gather around the dining table for a feast—be it wood-fired pizza from Eric’s or a home-cooked spread crafted from the region’s finest local fare. Follow it with board games, good wine, and stories that stretch late into the night. Willow Lodge is a charming blend of sociable, open-plan living and peaceful little pockets perfect for retreating, resetting, and just breathing out.
Outside
In the sun-drenched months, Willow Lodge is perfectly poised for the dreamiest summer escape. Start your mornings with a gentle stroll to Thornham Deli for buttery pastries and creamy cappuccinos, savoured on the terrace as you mull over the day’s plans.
Afternoons roll by slowly—Scrabble in the garden, a chilled drink in hand, the French doors flung open and the soft hush of the sea floating in. Come evening, fire up the BBQ with fresh fish from Gurneys at Drove Orchards, chase the kids around the lawn, and toast the golden hour with a glass of fizz from your welcome hamper. It’s coastal seclusion at its sweetest.
There is off-road parking for up to 3 cars on the gravel driveway.Key Features
