Premises Details:

The inn is instantly recognisable due to its central main street location and whitewashed façade. Previously known as The George Hotel, our clients purchased the property in 2004 and from the outset, spent considerable time an effort establishing The Thornhill Inn as one of the finest village inns in the area. Presented well both internally and externally the property is of a traditional stone construction, set over 3 floors under a varying pitched tiled roof. Over the years it has built up a good reputation not just locally but within the surrounding areas and since being purchased extensive refurbishment has been carried out, utilising many of the original features. In addition to the main property, there is an additional 4 bedroom attached cottage, of similar age and construction. To the rear of the property is private parking.
