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!

Program Details

I require help five days a week with breakfast for guests, cleaning rooms, checking in and out guests, booking tables at places to eat for them, and generally help ensuring that everyone is happy staying here.

Activities & Shift

Assistance at breakfast / cooking breakfast if you are a proficient cook :)) Checking out guests, cleaning rooms, helping bag up laundry, checking in guests, laying breakfast tables, helping empty the dishwasher etc, meet and greeting new guests, making tea or coffee for the garden in the nice weather and booking tables for guests for dinner at the pubs / restaurants upon request. Attention to detail is very important as guests review everything, and notice even the smallest things!
