Program Details
Our volunteer programme offers a chance to live and work in a beautiful countryside setting while learning new skills. In exchange for accommodation and shared meals, volunteers contribute around 4–5 hours a day helping with gardening, outdoor projects, dog care, and housekeeping/cleaning for our B&B. Tasks vary with the seasons and weather.
No prior experience is needed, as we provide guidance and training in areas such as basic maintenance, land management, and practical DIY skills. Volunteers are encouraged to work at a comfortable pace, be part of daily life, and share meals and cultural experiences with us. We aim to create a relaxed, friendly environment where everyone feels included, learns something new, and enjoys the surroundings.
