I find typing these guest comments rather embarrassing but do appreciate that people like to know what previous guests thought about a place. I’d just like to say that I really enjoy meeting new people and it’s fantastic when they ring  or email to ask if they can come back!

 I have included them as they came to stay with me to remember a wonderful man named Robert who stayed with me 6 times. He sadly passed away on the 10th September but will always hold a very  special place in my heart. Meeting Robert (& Meg) and all the other lovely people who have stayed with me has proven to be the most unexpected bonus of living at Thornton Lodge.
