Welcome!
Happy New Year and welcome to our first Newsletter of 2017. If you are seeking a fun-filled family holiday or a relaxing break, then Christian Guild has something for everyone. Don’t miss out on the many Special Interest and Themed Breaks that we offer all year round – we have highlighted just a few of these in this Newsletter. Please also remember you can ‘stay as you please’ at all of our hotels at most times of the year for that special occasion or short break. We have received fantastic feedback from our guests following their recent Christmas and New Year holidays, so please don’t forget to book early for next Christmas and New Year to avoid disappointment – spaces are filling fast! Our friendly staff look forward to welcoming you, whether for a short break, family holiday, themed break, or just staying as you please. With all good wishes for 2017. Kevin Mantle, Managing Director
