The Lifeboat Inn is just a 2-minute walk away from marshes and sand dunes along the Norfolk Coast Path. This charming 16th century property is found in the picturesque village of Thornham, on the outskirts of Hunstanton. The inn's original character has been carefully preserved throughout, whilst being updated to include all modern comforts expected of a 3-star property. The en suite bedrooms feature free toiletries and a hairdryer, a TV and a radio. Providing the perfect base from which to explore the delightful County of Norfolk, Lifeboat is within easy reach of a number of attractions, including Holkham Hall, Sandringham House and Nelson's birthplace at nearby Burnham Thorpe.
