The Experience

I own a seven bedroom Bed and Breakfast in beautiful Somerset close to the medieval city of Wells. We receive guests from all over the world and it is lots of fun here, but a lot of work too! My three children and I enjoy meeting people and having help from volunteers all over the world. Hopefully you'll have lots of fun here meeting us and all of our guests :)) And since May 2024 we have a puppy, so even more fun!

My experience at the guest house was amazing! Sarah was such a good person, her food is delicious! Also, we had a good kitchen that we could use at any time. Our accommodation was very comfortable. The work is simple, sometimes can be busy, because of the many guests at the BnB, but nothing to worry about! Everything went fine. The lovely city of Wells is at a walking distance, and you can catch busses to nearby cities as well! I want to thanks Sarah for everything. Our staying at the guest house was unforgettable.

Our time in the guest house couldn't have been better and I would love to come back soon! Sarah and her family and amazing people and welcomed us very warmly, we truly felt at home ♥️ The tasks are easy and the work is very rewarding, Sarah is very patient in explaning everything. The working hours were alays respected, we stayed in a very comfortable room, had wonderful dinners with Sarah and her family and nice walks around the B&B. There are many cities and historical places you can get to by bus from Wells (40mins walk from the guest house). It was the perfect experience!

My staying at WorthHouse was a great experience. The family made me feel quite welcomed from day one and Sarah is such an amazing cook! Music is a big part of the family so you'll enjoy it significantly! The work hours were respected and the tasks were clear and easy to do. It's important to know that the house it's located 1 hour-walk away from the city and you have the community bus to come back to the house. The place is ideal if you want to have a quiet and remote experience. Thank you Sarah, Andy, Amelie, Tash, Gen and especially Redd❤️. Hope to see you again :)

It had been a long time since I truly felt at home. Here I found a warm, fun, and welcoming family, a cozy environment filled with music, delicious meals, late night conversations, and a lovely dog who became a great companion. Sarah, Andy, Amelie, Tash, and Gen, more than just a beautiful memory, I'm leaving with a heart full of love and gratitude. Regarding the volunteer work, you get a comfortable room, simple daily tasks, and plenty of free time. It's basically house chores you'd do in your everyday life, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
