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.

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. What's not to like!

Wigeon is a very comfortable and very well appointed house. Located in a peaceful position in Thornham you are moments from the sea and opposite fields where you can see barn owls hunting morning and evening. We have stayed at Wigeon three times now and will definitely go back.
