The Corner Pightle (Burnham Thorpe)

Entry categories: Holiday Cottages - Norfolk Self-Catering

The ‘Corner Pightle’ is set in a quiet corner of Burnham Thorpe, looking across the green to the Lord Nelson pub. It is a traditional Norfolk cottage built from flint and brick with a pan tile roof. The whole cottage has been completely renovated over the last few years and the bathroom, shower room and kitchen are all new. There are four bedrooms (one is on the ground floor) and will comfortably sleep six people. Nearly all the rooms have exposed beams.

On the ground floor the cottage has a hall / dining room, loo / shower room, sitting room, kitchen and a smallish bedroom (with double bed). The sitting room has a hardwood floor, three comfortable sofas and log burner. It faces west with views over the green. Upstairs there is a large bedroom (double bed) with windows facing south and west and exposed beams. There are two more bedrooms upstairs (one has twin beds and other is a single) and a bathroom. We will provide all sheets, duvets, bath towels etc and logs for the fire.

The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, fridge and electric oven (with gas hob). Double doors open from the kitchen on to the garden at the back of the house. The garden is very sunny (it faces south-west) and is enclosed so it is safe even for small children.

Burnham Thorpe - the birthplace of Admiral Lord Nelson - is one of the well known, Norfolk ‘Burnhams’. It lies just over a mile south east of Burnham Market and about three miles inland from the beach at Holkham. Together the local villages and coastline form one of the prettiest areas you will find in East Anglia. There are nature reserves just along the coast to the west; Titchwell, which is renowned for its bird life and Scolt Head Island – famous for its seal colony. Other attractions include golf at Brancaster and Hunstanton, coastal walks and several very good pubs, including the Hoste Arms at Burnham Market, the Lifeboat at Thornham – and of course, the Lord Nelson in Burnham Thorpe itself.
