We enjoy looking after people, that's what great people do.
Our reception hosts are friendly and caring in nature.

From the warm and efficient check-in process, anticipating and answering guests' questions during their stay and wishing them a fond farewell on their departure, receptionists are an essential part of a memorable guest experience.

No two days at the hotels are the same and your responsibilities will vary daily, however each day you can expect to:

  • Anticipate our guests needs to provide a seamless experience
  • Ensure all telephone calls as answered quickly and as efficiently as possible
  • Report any maintenance issues and check that the work has been completed and feedback to the guest
  • Responsible for ensuring the accuracy of guest billing, financial transactions and the reception float
  • Maintain the brand standards of our reception and public spaces as well as keeping areas tidy and presentable

We are looking for:

  • Someone who is confident, positive and enjoys working in a busy environment
  • Problem solvers. A person who can answer guest quests and looks for solutions
  • Previous hotel experience or similar. It's not a must have, but you must be eager to learn
  • Someone with a passion for hospitality and to create positive lasting memories for our guests
  • Who wants to be part of a successful and hard working team

What we offer:

As a family-owned independent Cornish business, we value every member of our talented team and we offer a range of benefits and perks to reflect our commitment to making our hotels such a desirable place to work

These include:
- £11 per hour plus tips

  • A peoplecentric working environment
