HANDYPERSON / MAINTENANCE ASSISTANT
The Place
Barnett Hill Hotel joined the Alexander Hotels family in September 2016.
Barnett Hill is a beautiful Queen Anne style property, built in 1905, set within 26 acres of lovingly maintained gardens and woodlands, sitting in the heart of the Surrey Hill area of outstanding natural beauty just outside Guildford, Surrey.
