Lauren White

Senior Bookings Manager

I’m a friendly and driven person who loves connecting with others and bringing positive energy to everything I do. I’m passionate about creating great experiences and believe that a little kindness and teamwork go a long way.
I’m very active and love pushing my limits, I’m currently training for a 70.3 Ironman! You’ll usually find me outside, whether I’m on my bike, swimming in open water, or taking on an ultra-marathon. On my bucket list is a trip to the stunning Dolomites in Italy,it’s a dream destination for both adventure and relaxation. When I’m not training, I love nothing more than snuggling up with my 11-year-old pug, Bruce.

As the Bookings Manager at Stay YNA, I love the fast-paced nature of the role and the opportunity to create seamless, memorable experiences for our guests. Every day is different, and it’s so rewarding to work with such a passionate team dedicated to making people feel at home wherever they stay.

Accounts

In my spare time, I love spending time with my fiancé, taking our dog to the beach, going on long walks, and traveling to warm destinations. My ultimate goal is to retire in a villa in Gran Canaria that we’ve bought ourselves.

My favorite book is "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller.

At Stay YNA, I manage accounts and assist with bookings and customer service. I enjoy the variety my role offers, from handling different tasks to traveling and meeting new people.

One of my favorite places to visit is Nice—I love strolling along the promenade and experiencing the vibrant nightlife.

Katie Wilson

Bookings Coordinator & Social media

I love reading romantasy books and spending time with my one-eyed cat. My biggest hobbies are traveling and enjoying iced coffee, and so far, my favorite destination has been Iceland, I was blown away by its incredible waterfalls.

On my bucket list is visiting Cappadocia and experiencing a hot air balloon ride—despite my huge fear of heights!

I’m new to the Stay YNA team, but I already love my role, assisting with bookings and customer service while also managing social media and marketing.

I absolutely loved when i visited Dingle, everyone was so friendly and welcoming and you feel a real sense of community.

Leigh Wedd

Bookings Coordinator

I'm a friendly, relaxed,sociable and positive person who always sees the glass as half full and loves to laugh. I have always tried to incorporate this into my working life. My background is in Customer Service and travel, and I enjoy using my previous experience to assist with Customer requests and helping with bookings here at Stay Yna.
In my spare time I love to spend time with family, especially my two young grandchildren who know me as "Nana"...! I also love spending time with friends, catching up over a coffee, going to the cinema or watching live music.
Travel is and has always been my passion, and I have travelled widely either in my working life or by myself. Vietnam and Cambodia are high on my bucket list, however Crete is my "happy place" and going forward I want to spend a lot more time there with the friends I have made and indulging in another passion, reading.

My role is weekend bookings coordinator and I feel lucky to be working with such a passionate and caring team.

House Manager

I came to Dingle 25 years ago from South Africa for my brothers wedding and fell in love with Dingle straight away. The colourful, vibrant town and laid back Irish folk took a hold of me and i've never left.

I was attracted to the tourist industry in Dingle and joined YNA 12 years ago. Being a properties manager, i get to meet different people from different cultures and countries, I love chatting to guests about Dingles history and the exciting things to do here and around the Dingle Peninsula.

My favourite spot in Dingle is the light house in the banks of the Dingle Bay. Packing a picnic and walking to it, Spending time there is so peaceful and the views are breathtaking.

I love hill walking around the surrounding areas of Dingle, Horse riding especially on the vast beaches, Yoga on the inch beach in summer is fabulous and so relaxing.

Assistant House Manager

I am originally from London but I have been in Nice for 6 years. When I’m not working or travelling I love watching sunsets, going to festivals and swimming with my dog.

My favourite place on the French Riviera is Saint Jean Cap Ferrat.

Tracey Wright

House Manager / Operations

Before having my amazing daughter, I had the time to watch the sunrise over the Riviera, sitting on the pebbled beach while the dogs played in the sea. Evenings were spent dining at La Rotonde at Negresco, browsing artwork, and enjoying coffee or cocktails at the bar.

I have a deep love for travel and have lived in many countries before settling in the beautiful city of Nice. During the quieter seasons, I escape to my second home currently under construction in the Sahara Desert, where life moves at a slower pace. There, I also run a private animal refuge, as caring for animals is one of my greatest passions.

I love connecting with new people and could happily chat for hours. This is one of the things I enjoy most about working with YNA. I also love going the extra mile to help others, and my role at YNA allows me to do just that.
