Twin Trees Hotel
Description

Downhill House, as it was then known, was purchased by the Michael and Frances Moylett in 1936 as a private residence, then registered as a Guesthouse on 1938. Three years later, a new extension meant that the Moylett family could register as a Hotel, which they continued to develop.
