Gail and Paul own and run the Travellers Rest - a really lovely sister and brother act, and a smashing place to stay. Over time I have come to view them as friends rather than hotel owners.

stayed here for a weeks break , very very tired place , rooms not up to scratch, a.c. very loud and not maintained. generally run down , stayed there 2 years ago and it was nice unfortunately standards have dropped dramatically. i really dont want to sound to off putting , but i feel i have to speak the truth.
