We are a private Country House with an extensive vegetable garden, set in 25 acres in the beautiful North Norfolk countryside. We have a friendly home team of about 10 people working, and have welcomed helpers for many years. The exchange involved both ways is a bonus for all. We all share regular tea breaks and meals together. North Norfolk is a beautiful rural area with lots of walking, bird watching and things to see. Our location is reasonably remote - midway between Fakenham (an old, market town) and Holt - both 10 minutes away by car, and we are 5 miles from the sea. Being prepared to help as an all rounder is what it takes to form part of the team. We are an opportunity to experience real country life, with a small team of very experienced, dedicated workers, who are willing to share their knowledge and expertise, as well as become part of your global family. We still keep in touch with all of our former volunteers, who often come back to visit and stay with us on their travels. We prefer our volunteers to stay a minimum of 12 weeks or longer so you get a full experience. Being organised, independent, willing to learn with lots of enthusiasm (and a good sense of humour) is a must.
