This year marks a truly special milestone for us at Thurlestone Hotel, as we proudly celebrate 130 years since our founding.
Our story began in 1896, when Margaret Amelia Grose first established Thurlestone Hotel, laying the foundations for what would become one of Devon’s most loved coastal hotels. Today, we remain family owned and managed, now in the hands of the fifth generation of the Grose family, and we are incredibly proud to continue welcoming guests with the same warmth, care and tradition that has defined us for more than a century.
As part of our celebrations, we would love you to be involved.
We invite guests past and present to share their Thurlestone memories with us, whether that is a favourite family holiday, a special celebration, or a moment that has stayed with you over the years. You can share your content online using #ThurlestoneMemories, or email your stories and photographs directly to our Marketing Manager, Kate Davey, at marketing@thurlestone.co.uk
Thank you for being part of our story, past, present and future.
Here’s to 130 years of Thurlestone Hotel, and many more to come.
