The changeover days can fall any day from Monday to Saturday hence flexibility is essential due to popular short breaks and late bookings. Flexible hours can be discussed at interview. The start time would typically be 9.30 – 10 am and the changeover time will vary from 4 to 6 hours depending on what needs doing. Rotas are issued in advance and we will try to accommodate other commitments.

For this role, you’ll need to complete our online assessment instead of using a C.V. or online application form. This will help us understand more about your strengths and give you more information on the role.
Our holiday cottages are popular all year round where guests love taking in the network of footpaths, creeks, cliffs, woodland, and open countryside or relaxing on the beautiful beaches at Towan, Carne and Pendower.
