The River House

The River House is an historic building in the Skippool area of Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England. Built in the late 1830s, it was once a restaurant[1][2] frequented by the likes of Rudolf Nureyev, George Harrison and prominent politicians[3] and was run by members of the Scott family.[4][5] It has also been a four-guestroom hotel.[6] Today it is a private residence,[7] with an addition on the northern side of the property.
