A FAMILY which has turned around the fortunes of one of Cornwall's most historic hotels is moving on.

After eight years of hard work that's seen them go from near catastrophe to multi-award winners, the Roberts — Paul, son Scottie, his wife Suzanne and baby Ruby — are between them, taking on retirement, a rest a new business and a host of new challenges.

Regulars, guests, friends, staff and relations joined in a weekend of celebrations — and a christening — to bid a fond farewell to the family which has steered Boscastle's Wellington Hotel through some of its most difficult years.
