Holme House

We are in a rural location, just outside the Lake District National Park but only 15 minutes cycle ride from Kendal, the southern gateway to the Lakes.

We are looking for travellers who are positive, keen to learn (and / or share their experience) and who will love being part of creating something special that will last long after our lifetimes.

We have volunteered in the past and treat all volunteers in the way we would expect to be treated - with respect, love, and as friends who are helping us to build a beautiful, natural home.

We couldn't have had a better experience for a first volunteering experience.
Rick and Ruthie are pleasant people who do their best to make you feel good. The project is interesting and we are proud to have contributed to the construction of their dream house. Working hours are respected.
Ruthie cooks delicious vegetarian and healthy dishes.
Outside of working hours Ruthie and Rick took us to see the scenery of the Lake District which was wow.
We also met members of the HHF community and had a great time with their pets.
This experience will be forever etched in our memories.

An amazing experience! It was my first volunteer experience and I wouldn't change a thing. I felt welcomed from the beginning, Ruth and Rick are such genuine people, they always make sure you feel comfortable. They convey a lot of passion for the project which is really incredible, based on sharing and sustainable living. Personally, I found the work fun and entertaining, it's amazing to see how everything is taking shape and how you participate in it. The food was spectacular, varied and delicious. I felt very loved and connected a lot with them and their project. I would love to come back!

My time with Rick and Ruthie was absolutely amazing, and I’m not sure 600 words are enough to express how great it was!
I felt right at home. Rick’s global stories and knowledge kept me engaged and I learned so much. Ruthie’s cooking is amazing—her quiche is unforgettable! She’s also a gardening pro. Getting to know them was pure joy—they’re so warm and welcoming. Helping with their dream home was a truly special experience, and I can’t wait to see how it all turns out. I left with new skills and wonderful friends. Highly recommend staying with them—don’t miss Ruthie’s incredible quiche!

Rick and Ruth are incredible hosts, polite and easygoing. They both have a lot of patience to teach new words in their language. Rick knows how to lead a team well and we work in incredible harmony which resulted in effective and positive volunteering. The environment is very peaceful with a peaceful energy. I was very happy to be invited to go hiking and discover new places in England. Ruthie welcomed us very well and provided wonderful gastronomic experiences, the vegetarian cuisine is sensational and expanded my mind and made me realize that we can eat healthily without eating meat.
