The Old Post Office is a unique, characterful, and quirky B&B packed with history. Once an old smugglers' haunt, our building sits right in the centre of the village, directly overlooking the historic harbour and beautiful beach. The best bit for any volunteer is the unbeatable location. You will wake up to the sound of waves lapping the shore and watch fishing boats land their catch right from the property. We pride ourselves on a completely relaxed and informal atmosphere. As our Google reviews show, guests love our welcoming vibe, cozy log fire, and easy help-yourself breakfast style. You should come help us because we offer a truly authentic, laid-back experience of Cornish coastal life. With a private quay and the local watersports centre right next door, it is an incredible base to live, work, and immerse yourself in a tight-knit harbour community.
