We have taken over a 20 room seaside B&B and are on a mission to make it the most friendly hotel in Eastbourne...and making people feel less lonely.

You will be part of our housekeeping team to make sure the hotel, the rooms and the outside look amazing for our guests.

I had a lovely time volunteering here! I enjoyed the family dinners, having breakfast made for me, taking their sweet dog for walks, and working on reception to greet guests, it was nice to see my name mentioned in some Booking.com reviews. The other volunteers were great company, and it's a very social place. As it's family-run, the routine can be quite fluid at times, so flexibility really helps when lending a hand. Overall, a warm and memorable experience I'm grateful for!

What an amazing time I had at the guest house! Steve and Renee are incredible hosts, I felt very welcomed. They were very flexible with work hours and I could apply my skills and give them suggestions on what I was doing. My time there couldn't be any better. And also, CK is the cherry on top of this experience. Hope to see them again soon! Thank you for everything ♥️

Eastbourne feels like a movie town. It's beautiful and cozy, and we have everything we need right here (and even a bit more). There are so many ways to have fun, and Brighton is also very close, which allows us to explore even more. Working hours are respected, and we actually do the tasks described in the position. Renee and Steve are very kind and truly include us in the guest house team/family. I'm grateful for all the family dinners, events and moments we shared together. I made friends that I'll always carry in my heart (and yes, that includes CK haha)

Eastbourne is such a beautiful place, and the guest house was a great location to experience it all. The accommodation was great, and it is a very good place for remote workers. I had lots of fun during my stay and I recommend this place to others.

I couldn't choose a better place for my first volunteer experience. It was like living amazing days with family. I made friends for life, grew as a person, and practiced my English every day. I arrived with difficulty, but everyone was very patient and calm talking to me. I really recommend it to everyone! Best experience of my life, it changed my view of the world, and I'm going back to Brazil very thankful for everything! I will miss everyone, especially CK, the king of the house! I hope to meet everyone again someday! 💚💛💙
