Thornton Hall Thornton Hall photographed from Station Road. The main block was probably built shortly after 1695. Pevsner says "The facade proper is of five bays, the end bays lying back a little and carrying the main chimneys. These end bays are large enough to provide closets at first floor level. Stone details are restricted to the window surrounds and quoins. Segmental pediments to the lower windows, an open segmental pediment to the door."

8.2/10 Very Good! (920 reviews)
Lovely meal and breakfast. Room was clean and pleasant. The outside was in need of a refresh and the building itself is of 70s design. The interior is modern and is accompanied by friendly staff.

8.8/10 Excellent! (37 reviews)
Damp smell throughout, furniture and furnishing were very cheap and aged. Disappointed with the quality versus what was advertised. Very small shower/barhroom, squeezed in. Not a premium or executive stay, very basic flat. For the cost, a hotel room would be a better option.
