The Lifeboat Inn has been a welcome sight for the weary traveller for centuries - roaring open fires on a frosty night, real ales and a hearty meal awaiting. The Summer brings its own charm - a cool beer, gazing over open meadows to the harbour, and rolling white horses gently breaking upon Thornham's sandy beach beyond.
Sitting in the 'Smugglers Bar' with the warm glow of the hanging paraffin lamps around you, it is easy to drift back through the centuries. Should the oak door creak open and a tall dark stranger arrive with cape & cutlass, it would hardly be a surprise. The character of this bar has been retained through the years and the Olde English game of 'Pennies', outlawed by George III in the late 1700's, is still played here regularly.
14 bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and most have views over Thornham harbour to the sea. Tea & coffee making facilities, televisions, hair dryers, telephones, and warm pine furniture complete the comfort of these bedrooms.
