“A secluded spot between the orchards, vineyard and sea, with a farm shop, fishmonger and wine bar on your doorstep.”
Tucked into Drove Orchards' farm, between the heritage orchards, vineyard and the sea, this cabin sits in its own private spot amongst the quince trees. It’s a short walk to the beach one way, and the village the other.
Follow the footpath across the marshes and you're on Thornham’s sandy beach. Walk the other way and you're at the farm shop, bakery and fishmonger in minutes. You'll also find a glass of something local at the wine bar, wood-fired pizza and gelato, and there's always Eric's for proper fish and chips. In season, you can pick your own fruit straight from the orchards, and Burnham Market and Brancaster are both nearby too.
It's the kind of spot where you can be in the sea before breakfast, and in the hot tub with a glass of something good at sunset.
