Matthew Grose is Managing Director today, the fifth generation of a dynasty which is the longest running hotelier family in the UK, and often wonders what his Great, Great Grandmother would make of Thurlestone Hotel today with luxury rooms and leisure facilities compared to straw mattresses, oil lamps and candles.
