We serve excellent traditional food and our menu explores regional British fare from land and sea. Enjoy coastal breezes and friendly greetings. Drift off to sleep in ultra-comfortable beds. Wake to the cry of gulls and the scent of a cooked Lifeboat breakfast. We have 16 rooms and a further 11 rooms availabile 10 minute walk away at The Chequers (formerly Thornham Rooms).
