Stocks Hotel is on the lovely car free island of Sark. We run a horse drawn carriage service for our guests including private tours and taxis in our vintage carriages.
I did 2 seasons on Sark at Stocks Hotel as a Carriage Driver (2020 and 2021). Although very experienced with horses, I had never driven before, but full training was given with kind and experienced horses, so don't don't let that put you off! The job itself is varied, but mainly involves looking after the horses and giving guests tours of the island, and a great part of the job is learning the history and quirks of the island. You'll work hard, but for very lovely people and in a unique environment. Fantastic facilities as a live-in worker - meals cooked, rooms cleaned and laundry done - means that your time outside of work is your own to explore the island, with lots to do and see. You also live with all the other hotel staff, so lots of social activities to do if you want. I highly recommend Stocks Hotel as an employer and if you enjoy working hard and giving guests a great experience, you will love this job. The only reason I am not going back for 2022 is that I want to get back to competing, but I do hope to visit again. Please feel free to message me for more details.
