The Neighborhood:
Thorness Bay Holiday Park is set in stunning countryside surroundings, with the wonderful benefit of a two-mile beach moments from the lodges and facilities. Thorness Bay beach is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) due to both its biological and geological features, with thriving wildlife not found in other areas of the United Kingdom, which makes Thorness Bsy that little bit more special.
Thorness offers something for everybody, weather you are just interested in relaxing on your deck taking in the wonderous daily birdsong, or a dip in the indoor pool, to an exhilarating sea swim and beach picnic. For the more energetic there are sports courts for football or basketball, and an adventure playground.
After a fun packed day, enjoy a tasty meal in the Boathouse Bar and Restaurant before a spot of evening entertainment.
Getting Around:

Relaxing Break
This property is an ideal base to explore the island. It is spacious with lovely views over the countryside where you can see plenty of wildlife. Where it is situated gives you the opportunity to use the on-site facilities but far enough away to ensure peace and quiet. We had some very minor problems which did not spoil our stay and Justine and her team dealt with them straight away. 10/10 for customer service, thank you again. We would definitely recommend this property.

Brilliant Getaway
Lovely and clean property and exactly as seen in the photos. Everything you could possibly need provided in the accomodation. We didn't really use the onsite facilities but they all looked ok. The beach was lovely and only a short walk.
