1. The Chapel

2.7 km from Thorness bay

"The property was beautiful and basically in the middle of the woods so dead easy for dog walking - also and outside hose which was really handy considering how muddy it was! It was freezing when we arrived but the heating, once I figured it out was effective. Unfortunately there were no logs or kindling for the fire which would have been beautiful. Also, the cues for the pool table were broken but we managed to partially fix one and had a few games with a beer or two - an added bonus! These are...

Top Thorness bay Hotel Reviews

New Holmwood Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very good location right near the sea with views of the mainland. Staff helpful when present but not in evidence much of the time. Older property with some noise from room above."

Prince of Wales

8/10 Good

"Booked a 3 night stay here.Great location, right opposite Osbourne House. Nice period property and room was spacious but tired in areas (shower had pieces of sealant hanging off and mould on the shower door). It would benefit from a good clean (eg dirty skirting boards, cobwebs, carpet stained). Hotel is situated on a main road so noisy even late at night with the windows open, although that didn't bother us. Had one evening meal here and one breakfast. Food was lovely although breakfast slow. Think a barrel delivery had arrived same time so that may have been why. Would be nice if you could help yourself to tea and coffee or juice in the dining room whilst waiting for service."
