The Sheldon B&B

The Sheldon is a very personal place, where guests return because of their experience here. We don't aim to be the fanciest option, but the warmest and most human.

We work with clear roles and respect people's free time. We typically have 3-5 volunteers at a time so there is a nice mix of people.

Renee and I have travelled for 25 years, working for the UN in conflict zones, running businesses in Bali and now a hotel in Southern England! We are curious, international and passionate about connecting people from around the world. We love the energy and perspectives that the volunteers bring to us, our home and our business. We look after our WP's and they look after us and each other.

This was our first volunteering experience and it exceeded all our expectations. The experience was amazing from start to finish. Steve and Renée are truly wonderful people — they welcomed us with so much kindness and treated us like family from day one. The environment is warm, respectful, and welcoming, which made us feel very comfortable and happy throughout our stay. We are very grateful for everything and would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers.

I volunteered at The Sheldon for two months and had a wonderful experience. I met amazing volunteers, had great conversations with guests, and explored Eastbourne and its surroundings — a lovely, well-connected area. The hotel was cozy and comfortable. I stayed in a shared room for four and had full access to the common areas and the kitchen. Weekly family dinners were a nice way to bond with the team. While I was there, the hosts were often away due to travel, so communication and organization were a bit different, but overall, the experience was positive, and I’d recommend it.

Despite coming at a bad time as an emergency replacement situation we made the best out of it. Steve is a jolly guy. It would have been nice to bring my culinary creativity to life . Communication and expectations of the cook needs to be better defined. Seaside amazing ,Lounge comfy, Family dinners were fun. CK :) omg this puppy ( the pup of world peace ) is the cutest emotional support dog ever !!eating up all the treats and bringing smiles to everyone 🐶. If you cook make sure you not Gordon Ramsey xD chef style have a Jamie Oliver vibe. Steve will train you to be sensei egg maker 🥚🍳

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 Sheldon! 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 ♥️
