"This one is special, sweet. It is a lovely recognition for myself and the team and for all the money we have raised." The Trelawney Hotel in Torquay, Devon is among the chepeates places to stay in the UK, as rated by Tripadvisor Lorraine added that the recognition is also about giving back to the community.
