Estates news

…another busy month for our Estates team including the refurbishment of yet another bedroom at WLP (room 62), the start of the building of a combined store and workshop at BH, new racking in the still room at BH, new Hypnos beds for some of the WLP bedrooms, and a shower for the staff bungalow at WLP.

And finally…

…Christmas is bound to be a quieter affair this year as the relentlessly bad economic news has impacted on our hotels. Green shoots? What green shoots?! However, I know that every guest who comes through our doors during the December period will find the same warmth of welcome as always from the wonderful teams, stunning decorations around the hotels, delicious Christmas food and drink, and a great atmosphere in properties that are looking great. A very merry Christmas and a happy new year for 2010 to all our guests, staff and shareholders.
