You'll be sharing our family home, and we treat our guests like family members. A description of help we need is here, but please ask if you have more questions. Hours are a maximum and include breaks, if you're focused and get things done quickly I'm happy for them to be less. Days off can be usually be adjusted to your preference .
As an honoury family member, you'll be invited to come out with us if you want to, and we will try to show you something of our beautiful county.
If this appeals please apply and if I think you are a good fit for us I'll ask for your number and we'll speak by WhatsApp to set out our expectations.
If that works out, ( it usually does) then I'll send you an offer on the platform, which you need to accept.
All arrangements must be confirmed on the platform, even if we have agreed them on WhatsApp.
I always try to work to the strengths of our guests, but at the current time we could really use some help mostly with painting rooms, gardening, organising, and perhaps some cleaning.
I always cook, but I ask that you wash up. It takes just 10 minutes or so to wash up, it's much longer to cook and I really appreciate someone else doing this.
If we felt you were trusted by Pancho it's possible we could give you some pet care responsibilities if I go away and Danny is at work, but this is not definite. There are not many people we feel confident to leave Pancho with , so please don't take it personally if that's not you.
Absolutely no smoking
We don't eat meat and don't want meat in the house please. Fish is,okay.
Let us know of changes to plans, arrivals, departures on worldpackers app, not just on WhatsApp. This is for both our reassurance.
Your room
Your pleasant room will be ready for you on arrival, clean and tidy.
Before you leave, and in your own time, please clean your bedroom, plus if time permits make the bed up with clean linen, ready for the next guest .
Before arrival
I can send you lots of information about how to travel and the cheapest option, discount cards etc. Please read this carefully so you don't get lost or waste your money :)
I would appreciate it if you don't arrive with a bag of dirty washing! If this is a problem just let me know, I can make an exception if there's a reason, but it's generally not a good start to an experience to do this.
We don't have a drier so dry things in the house, therefore I need to schedule washes.
You are welcome to wash your clothes after a few days during your stay, and I am happy to send you off with clean clothes before you leave ready for your next host.
I expect you to do your washing in your own time.
Carbon footprint
We are very conscious of our carbon footprint, energy and water use. In addition here in the UK energy prices have skyrocketed, please be very mindful of your energy use as well as water and other resources. It's probably the thing I need to speak to guests about most. Please don't be offended if I do eith you. I'm not unreasonable, but sometimes people who have never had to consider their resource use are not really aware of the impact of it!
