This week we said good bye to the amazing Tilda wh This week we said good bye to the amazing Tilda who has been working with us for the last few months, she has been a pleasure to have around with an infectious smile and awesome work ethic she very quickly cemented herself as one of the team here at the hostel, the team took her for a lovely afternoon tea at the Briery Wood Country House Hotel to say farewell, thankfully it’s not for too long as she is back in September for a week and then hopefully an on off regular, if you met her during your stay with us I’m sure she would have brightened your day. See you soon Tilda xx
