Previous visitors' comments about Thornhill:

From the living room in Thornhill you have a wonderful view over a beautiful landscape and it is not too far away from Salisbury, Stonehenge, Bath, the Jurassic Coast and many other interesting sites in South West of England. We had a wonderful stay there and I am sure that we will come back.
