In law school I lived in a cottage behind a B&B. Became friends with the owners who did not live in the B&B. It was not as easy as it looked. It became some what of a tedium for them.
Having said that, me and my then wife were often asked to handled breakfast chores when they were out of town or do simple maintenace around the B&B in exchange for a discount on our rent. Not a problem as I enjoyed cooking in the modern commercial kitchen. Guests ranged from 2-12 at any given time. When I did the b'fast duties usually on weekends I had to read the mood of the guests. Did they want to be quietly served and left alone in the dining area, or would they enjoy having a leisurely group gathering down in the kitchen with everyone joining in and breakfasting down there? Most enjoyed the latter which made it casual and fun gathering in the kitchen but some I misread and they got all in a huff...oh well.
Didn't mind the minor maintenance work. Only thing I found distatsteful was cleaning up the mess when a guest committed suicide with a shotgun on a weekend when the owners were away and I was left in charge.
ymmv
