Runnacleave Hotel

I started work as an Hotel Receptionist at the Runnacleave Hotel on the 16th May 1970 and spent four wonderful summers there. It was my first time away from home and a bit daunting at first, but with the kindness and help of Anita Roberts, the owner, it became my home for the nest four seasons. I have so many memories of that lovely hotel, all the people I met and all the fun we had. Just a pity it is now a shadow of it's former self. I am putting together a history of the Hotel, so if anyone has any speical memories of their own, I would be glad to see them posted here.

RE: RE: Runnacleave Hotel

I have some very special memories of the Runnacleave. I drove past it today, the first time in over 35 years I've been back to Ilfracombe.

RE: RE: Runnacleave Hotel

I remember the hotel and Anita. I used to live opposite in the Carlton. I have some pictures somewhere of the snow from 1976 outside the Runnacleave. I just remember it being vast inside. The Carlton only had 50 rooms but the Runnacleave just seemed to be the biggest hotel in Ilfracombe, especially to me as I was only 6-7 at the time.
