1 Review on “The Lifeboat Inn Thornham”
Highly recommended.
Parking is free for motorhomes and camper vans so long as you buy a meal at the restaurant. Otherwise it is £20
Restaurant is excellent, serving a good and comprehensive breakfast (buffet continental and large cooked breakfast option) for less than £15. Dinner menu is also excellent.
Great friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, quiet location.
Only downside is that parking is on the car park which is stony and so not suitable for tents and awnings.
