What we need help with: We would love help with general garden maintenance and clearing overgrown spaces. During out of season months, help with painting and property maintenance. Be very interested in having a creative person for aspects of photography and social media assistance here onsite and to capture the Cornish countryside. Experience within role of photography and social media is a must.

Accommodation

Private Self-Contained Unit
Volunteers will stay in one of our holiday cottages, with accommodation arranged depending on the group and availability. If you are travelling solo or as a couple, you will usually be placed in a one-bedroom cottage for your own private use. If we have two couples volunteering at the same time, you may be accommodated together in a two-bedroom cottage, where each couple has their own private bedroom but shares the kitchen, living space, and bathroom. We always aim to match arrangements to suit each individual or couple as best as possible, depending on availability. Our cottages are fully furnished and designed with comfort in mind, each featuring a well-equipped kitchen and a Smart TV for cosy evenings in. Onsite, guests can enjoy free use of our laundry room with washing machines and tumble dryers, plus two games rooms complete with table football, table tennis, puzzle games and a book swap corner.

Our stunning setting on the Cornish Lizard Peninsula means that there is endless coastline, breathtaking beaches and spectacular scenery to discover just minutes away from your cottage. The rare geology of this area creates a haven for exceptional plants and flowers and a coastline dotted with little fishing harbours and gorgeous sandy bays fringed with rare rock formations and caves.
