Help
We are looking for couples and solo travelers to join our small friendly team, ideally for the whole of next Season - April until mid October 2024. We are not currently looking for anyone for a shorter period so please only message if you can work for the full six months (or a minimum of three months).
We run a hotel, and garden centre. The bulk of the help we need is in the hotel and sometimes the grounds around it - very occasionally, we need an extra hand down at the garden centre too. Our team is small and we all turn our hands to lots of tasks: in the hotel, that can be table waiting , housekeeping, reception work, food preparation, etc. In the garden and garden centre that might be log splitting (we have a machine), weeding, plant care, watering, strimming, leaf clearing, assisting customers, etc.
We are a small team and while we work hard, we have a lot of fun, too.
All positions are paid so you must be eligible to work in the UK. We are unable to sponsor applications (seasonal jobs in our industry are not eligible). Please don't message if you are not already entitled to work in the UK.
Accommodation is provided.
