Our peaceful private estate is family-owned with a variety of animals, mainly including horses. We own a separate cottage on the property and look after the surrounding fields and gardens. The guest cottage is fully self-contained, with its own entrance and private outdoor space, offering a calm and quiet base for your stay. You’ll find countryside walks, open views, and plenty of fresh air just steps from the door.

Help needed

We are looking for general help on the estate, including gardening, odd jobs and supporting with the animals.

Accommodation

Private Room & Private Bathroom
Volunteer accommodation will either be in our separate cottage (photos shown here) or we have a bell tent suited with a double bed.

We are situated in the Hertfordshire countryside in a small village called Clothall, filled with countryside walks and greenery. Despite the rural setting, Baldock’s mainline railway station is only a five-minute drive away, with frequent trains to King’s Cross, St Pancras, and Finsbury Park. If you are travelling by train, taxis are readily available to bring you directly to the cottage. Upon arrival, you can settle in with a small welcome refreshment and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. 20 minutes drive to Knebworth House: https://www.knebworthhouse.com

The map shows the approximate area. The exact location is shared once a stay is confirmed.
