We have stayed in various holiday cottages in Thornham over the past 18 years and i can honestly say Captains Cottage is by far the best. Location was perfect for us, everything we required was there, it was extremely warm and welcoming. A very big thank you to the owners for allowing us to share their fabulous accommodation.
