The Experience

Hi, We are looking for volunteers to help with general tasks this Spring. As the garden wakes from its winter slumber, daffodil are peaking out to sniff the air. We need to get the garden ready for Spring and Summer so lots of time spent outside to breathe our fresh country air! The dogs may need a walk or the cats groomed, the chickens looked after ... You will be warm and cosy in Mable, our mobile home that will become your home :-)

Everything already said about being there is truth! The dogs & cats are the best, walks in the forest are awesome and the acommodation is way better that expected. Rory's dinners are delicious. Liz is a cool person! I've volunteered before (solo & in couple) and I think it is important to mention this one goes with hard physical job and repetitive even if you are in good shape, do sports, etc. expect to end really tired many days. We thought about not mentioning it, maybe because you put in a balance the good acommodation and stuff provided vs 5 hours of non stop working as established

The home is one of the most wonderful places I have ever been, Liz and Rory are fantastic hosts, they open the doors of their home to make you feel welcome, the tasks are very pleasant and easy, always with clear instructions and you have all the tools Whatever you need, you have your mobile home with everything you need to be comfortable, a huge field to enjoy and the best thing is to be with the animals, Ruli and Perú are the best dogs in the world and the cats are the sweetest furry animals, we had A great time, a completely recommended place surrounded by nature.

I loved the time I was in this place. The accommodation for volunteers is great, I really enjoyed spending time with the different animals, even though my favorite part was enjoying the walks with Rully and Peru. Rory and Liz are great people who care about the well-being of the volunteers, create spaces to enjoy incredible dinners and learn more about the local culture. This volunteering is totally recommended.

My time at the home was so sweet. All the tasks were laid out clearly either the night before or the morning of, and Rory & Liz always offered help/guidance when needed. Mable the mobile was a clean and safe space to call home and I loved spending time in the field and making bonfires at night :) The bikes available are in great shape, and the scenes and towns close-by are breathtaking. Ruuli, Peru, the cats, and the ducks are all in my heart and I truly am so grateful for my stay. Xo
