The Thorold probably dates from the late 19th century but has recently (2019) been opened up and totally refurbished into a contemporary-styled rural pub. Our manager lives on-site. There is a restaurant and lunch and an evening meal are available 7 days a week as is breakfast for guests staying in the B&B rooms. The restaurant and bar are licensed and there is a good range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available.
