Another fantastic stay at Dale cottage

Plenty of room for us all (4 adults and 2 babies 2). Travel cot and high chair available to use - very handy. Huge garden for 2 year old to run about in. Lovely cottage, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. And a great location for visiting our favourite places along the coast. We’ll definitely be back.

Lovely property in a quiet location

Lovely property. Ideal for family groups. We had three generations and it was ideal having the two downstairs rooms meaning Grandparents didn't have to manage stairs. The generous garden was also a big bonus. Also being close to lovely beaches and a wonderful farm shop.

Excellent for a multi-generational family holiday

The cottage met all expectations for our family holiday to celebrate a significant birthday milestone! Thank you for providing space for all 9 of us, ranging from 20 months-70 years old, in which to relax and enjoy the spacious garden. It was a welcome return for some to wonderful North Norfolk and a first time for others, made even more special by a week of glorious weather. Precious family memories made!

Perfection in beautiful north Norfolk

Dale cottage is everything we wanted for our long weekend in beautiful north Norfolk. The cottage itself was immaculate, perfectly set up for 2 families (4 kids) has a wonderful garden (front and back!) and ample parking. It’s situated in a really pretty and quiet village with a great local pub and a superb deli a five minute walk away. Drove Orchard is also around 10 minutes away which offers fish and chips, pizzas and all sorts. We spent the weekend driving to various beaches and visiting other villages which are all within close proximity. There are beautiful walks on the doorstep also. All in all we had one of the best weekends away with friends and we’ll be back!

Fabulous stay

What a wonderful family weekend stay we've had at Dale Cottage. The property is spacious, stylish and very well equpped and the garden is absolutely amazing. It's huge! Wonderful to see children running around on the lawn in the sunshine as the weather was unexpectly very good! This is a brilliant house for family groups as there are different seating areas but a lovely big kitchen table to gather round at mealtimes. It was recommended to me by two different family friends who had both loved it and I also highly recommend! Host Dave was great and made everything easy and straightforward sending us all the info we needed beforehand. Thank you Dave for a fabulous break!

Really lovely

Really nice house in the lovely Thornham. Lots of room for 8 of us. Garden is a good size for the kids to play in - could have done with the grass being cut as it was v long. Summer house will be a lovely addition when it’s done especially on a sunny evening. House has everything you need and host very helpful before our stay updating us on the area.

Dale Cottage

A really lovely cottage with a pleasant front garden area with seating. The rear enclosed garden is big enough for ball games. Lots of wildlife to watch out for. Downstairs there is a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Also twin bedroom and family bathroom across the hallway. Nice kitchen and lounge. Upstairs a fabulous large bedroom with en-suite facilities. Also a pleasant twin bedroom overlooking the garden. A very peaceful, pleasant place to spend a week,

Great cottage in a gorgeous location

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Dale cottage. The house is lovely and very well equipped. We enjoyed garden and enjoyed the last of the sun each day sitting on the beautiful front patio. Communication from Dave was first class- from my initial enquiry through to checking out on our last morning. This holiday was delayed by a year because of Covid but when we did finally get to stay 12 months later (we rolled our booking over) we all agreed it was well worth the wait! Happy times for all x

Excellent cottage, fantastic location, lovely garden

A wonderful stay - a great cottage, with lots of space. If anything the images somewhat undersell the property. We all thought it of a higher standard than the photography! Dave was very helpful from moment of booking, with detailed information, thought and care. Thornham is an excellent location for the whole north coast. The pubs in the village are great, as well as the shops. Bus stop is 1 min walk from house, with easy services, meaning no need to park/use car.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Phatak

Hi - we're a busy working family of four living in Hertfordshire. We visit Dale Cottage as often as we can.

We enjoy being active outdoors, eating out and entertaining friends and family. Dale Cottage enables us to do all of the things we love in a wonderful setting.

Why they chose this property

We love being close to the sea and great beaches with our young children. We get great pleasure from being outdoors and getting away from the normal business of everyday life.

We bought Dale Cottage as our own 2nd home so that our children can enjoy all of the benefits of beach and country living. We have refurbished it to a high standard so that it feels welcoming and spacious.

We adore the village for its location and great facilities for visitors.

What makes this property unique

We love the secluded nature and the tranquillity it brings whilst being close to great pubs and restaurants.

Dale Cottage has a great sense of space both indoors and outdoors and never feels cramped even with 8 people (and sometimes more) staying.

There's something really special about sitting in the living room with a roaring fire, watching the wildlife in the garden and knowing that the beaches are all so close.
