Tricia Brough has been appointed manager at North Petherton's Walnut Tree Hotel.
Tricia, 51, began her career in the airforce before moving through a variety of roles including working in Britannia Building Society and spending six years in Italy before moving back to England to study for a degree in International relations and political economy.
She spent five years working at Alton Towers, starting in the back office and progressing through a number of roles including senior receptionist and managing the whole of the front desk.
When her partner moved to Somerset, Tricia saw it as an ideal opportunity to move back to the countryside and says it's fabulous.
She said: "I love Somerset. I was born in a little village and it's very much like being back home. Everyone is so friendly and people take the time to talk to each other - everyone knows each other.
"I'm getting used to everyone's foibles and a totally different working environment."
She added: "At Alton Towers, the hotel was very modern. Here at the Walnut Tree, each of the rooms are different and very individual. The hotel has grown and developed over the years and we're still making changes to the rooms. I absolutely love it here."
The Walnut Tree Hotel is owned by Steve and Kristine Williams who welcomed Tricia on board.
Steve said: "Tricia is already proving to be a huge asset to the hotel. She's very efficient and fantastic with the guests and has built up a good rapport with the staff. I hope she's here for a long time!"
