We'll Meet Again Breaks

Our popular We'll Meet Again Breaks have now come to an end until February next year, once again they were a roaring success with our guests who enjoyed the Ration Books that gave them all complimentary extras!! 1940 it may have been but there was no rationing here!!

The fancy dress competition was another great hit and keeps getting more and more competitive each time we hold it!!

If anyone has any photos of the fancy dress costumes and would like to share them with us please email them to me and I will post them on the blog.


Today sees the first day of our Holly & Mistletoe breaks and we are all busy putting up the trimmings, decking the halls with holly and the Christmas trees are being festooned with baubles and twinkling lights, ready for our guests joining us this week.

 The mince pies are cooking in the kitchen and the smell that is wafting up into the office is tantalising my nostrils!! I do so love Christmas and I am so glad that I get an extended one working at the St Kilda.

Each year we see the return of familiar faces who are meeting up with family and friends, to enjoy the festive atmosphere and of course we love to welcome all our new guests who have yet to enjoy the spirit of St Kilda.

If you are coming to stay don't forget to bring your cameras and then send me some
 fab photos for the blog please.

If you haven't booked yet, it is not to late we even have some special offers on that might interest you,
so give us a call so we can let Santa know you are coming stay!!

Congratulations

We have a couple of Congratulations we would like to share with you, as we have some family members that deserve a mention for recently wining awards.

Mr Ken Jones' cousin Alan Jones who runs a family business based in Wrexham.
You may of heard about their business, it is a well known bakery called "The Village Bakery", they had been nominated in several categories in the True Taste of Wales Competition.

Mr Alan Jones along with his son Robin and a party of employees came to stay at the St Kilda Hotel so they could attend the True Taste of Wales Award Ceremony that was held in Llandudno in October.

The awards recognise the top independent and multiple retailers in the country and the competition is very stiff,  winning this award at such an early stage in the life of their business has given them a huge confidence boost and we would like to
congratulate them both.
