The Old Garage Thornham is definately a place for us to go back too. The house had so many lovely touches to it and very comfortable and homely with excellent facilities. Everything you need is there. It has its own uniqueness.

A lovely place. A little difficult to find at first but understood the directions once we found it. Place was super clean and lovely. The outside bins still had rubbish from previous people but managed to put ours in as requested / got rid of it
