Lifeboat Inn

Ship Lane Thornham, Thornham, Nr.Hunstanton

Lifeboat Inn is a three star property located in the picturesque village of Thornham near Hunstanton. Just a two minute walk from the marshes and sand dunes. The hotel has been receiving guests since the 16th century. The Inn's original character has been carefully preserved throughout the hotel. Lifeboat offers the perfect base for which to explore the delightful County of Norfolk. All of the 14 rooms are tastefully furnished and decorated to a high standard creating a stylish and comfortable ambience, whilst still maintaining the traditional characteristics of the hotel. Rooms offer all modern facilities guests would expect from a hotel of this calibre, and most of the rooms have views over Thornham harbour to the sea. The Lifeboat is famous in the area for its food. Some travel miles for a huge bowl of steaming mussels, (available in season) hand picked from beds nearby or for a very special plate of fish and chips with its crispy ale beer batter – two of the most popular dishes from the extensive bar menu. Some guests prefer to select from the day’s special board, based on whats been caught, shot, picked or dug locally each day. Others may choose to enjoy a three-course meal in the more formal dining room accompanied by wine from an interesting and imaginative list, selected predominantly from small growers and bijou vineyards. The summer brings its own charm - a cool beer, gazing over open meadows to the harbour from The Lifeboat, and rolling white horses gently breaking upon Thornham's sandy beach beyond. North West Norfolk has a multitude of interesting places to see and activities to enjoy. Holkham Hall, Sandringham House or Nelson's birthplace at nearby Burnham Thorpe are just a few of the many historic locations nearby. A drive down the coast will take you to many little fishing villages with picturesque quaysides - not to mention all sorts of little shops, galleries and surprises.

The Lifeboat Hotel is in a fabulous location, but it is in serious need of a revamp. The bedroom was pretty tired, the bathroom smelt slightly mouldy and although the room wasn't dirty, it needed a good deep clean i.e. there were cobwebs on the lampshade and ceiling, black mould in the shower, dead flies around and behind the furniture was dusty etc. Our evening meal was very medicore - cold chips and the starter didn't arrive at all. Sandwiches were also very ropey - butter was put on with a shovel. Breakfast however, was very tasty and for £65 b&b it wasn't bad value - just don't pay full price as you'd be very disappointed!

If you want a quiet meal we recommend the restaurant as the food was excellent. The Pub food looked good but it was very busy as it seemed to accommodate the neighbouring camp site and locals too. Some rooms were over the bar, but it was empty and quiet by 10pm, so not really a problem. We paid half the room rate, via laterooms, and now we've been we would not pay the full price of over £100 per night, it wasn't really up to that standard. The room was comfortable but small, and the bathroom was large but needed updating.
