Kirsty Vintis

Outgoing Reservations Co-ordinator, Kirsty Vintis was born in York, but would choose to visit the seaside over everywhere else - just give her some fish and chips and a paddle in the sea, and she’s happy! 22 year-old Kirsty loves nothing more than spending time with her husband Johnny and when she has chance, her guilty pleasure is to watch ‘Neighbours’ and would love to visit Ramsay Street one day! Kirsty, who has worked at Best Western for four and a half years, is not only ambitious and hardworking, but has the piece of paper to prove it! She has recently graduated from Leeds University with a degree in English Literature and Language.
