Warm and cosy, Jess has enjoyed finding the carved mice. This is probably the best equipped holiday let we've had. For the most part, a lovely week. Unfortunately a 'Royal' week so everywhere has been even busier, places booked up and the car park prices doubled. We do like Thornham though and will definitely be back.
