A classic, dog-friendly inn with boutique rooms near the North Norfolk Coast

Step into The Lifeboat, an inn steeped in history, and be greeted by a bar that's welcomed guests for generations, and a roaring fire to warm you on wintry days. Dating back over 500 years, the former smuggler’s hideout nestles on the edge of Thornham village in Norfolk, overlooking salt marshes that shift with the seasons, offering a tranquil escape where you can relax and enjoy the scenic surrounds.

Take your pick from 16 bedrooms: options include Good, Better and Best. Complete with ultra-comfy, king-size beds, they also feature duck down duvets and pillows, luxury linen, TVs, WiFi, cafetieres with coffee, homemade biscuits, and air conditioning.

Food-wise, the chefs celebrate Norfolk's nautical heritage with locally sourced ingredients, creating simple, seasonal and tasty British dishes like crab salad and cured trout, alongside heartier fare such as pie of the day. Bring your four-legged friend along – they're always welcome, with special menus, cosy beds, plenty of treats, and top tips for nearby dog-friendly walks.

Fancy exploring? There's plenty to check out, from the nearby North Norfolk Coast and Sandringham Estate to Titchwell Marsh. For a local stroll, it's all about the 'Peddars Way Plod', where you can choose from two routes: a 2.5-mile loop or a 7.5-mile circuit. Then back to The Lifeboat Inn for a pint and a bite to eat.
