L'esperienza

We are looking for help with gardening and animal care in return for comfortable accommodation and good food during an interesting and fun cultural exchange. Over 12 years ago we moved to a large traditional thatched house in Devon with sheep, ducks and chickens. Much of the work will be outside on our small holding. You will have plenty of free time to explore our area of natural beauty near to the Jurassic Coast on bikes, buses or drop off.

More detail

We are looking for help with house renovations, gardening, housework and animal care in return for comfortable accommodation and good food during a interesting and fun cultural exchange.

Over nearly 10 years ago we moved to a large traditional thatched house in Devon with a small holding with sheep, ducks and chickens. We are always busy, there is some outside work and gardening as well as decorating. We have undertaken a lot of renovation in the house which now just needs finishing in places and had several workawayers stay with us.

Worldpacker volunteers, either couples or groups of two friends are invited for short stays of 1 - 3 week periods during February and March 2026, as we hope this will enable more volunteers to experience a stay in Devon. Some volunteers may wish to plan more than one placement during their stay in the the UK.

Whilst we supply all food and eat the main meal together, we encourage volunteers to make at least one main meal for all of us, so that we can experience some of your culture too!

If you would like more information do not hesitate to contact us.


Attività e turni

We expect a minimum of 20 hours per week, worked over four to five days by agreement. This means you will have a minimum of two days off a week and potentially afternoons and evenings.

Specifically there is a pond and wild flower area that need tender care, vegetable plots that need attending as well as pruning and some tree care plus general tidying including hedge trimming ahead of spring.

We will supply you with bikes and money for bus fares, Exeter, Sidmouth, Exmouth are all easily accessible by bus, there are also some beautiful coastal walks and bike rides.

We are located in a village 10 miles from the city of Exeter and there is a bus route that runs to the city and the coast every 30 minutes. The village has a friendly traditional pub, restaurants, shop, hairdressers, church and village hall. Exeter is an attractive busy university city with good shopping, bars cinemas, theatres and other historical attractions.

The Jurassic coast (5 minutes away by car and accessible by bicycle - 30 minutes) offers great walking and opportunities for water sports including sailing, kite surfing and windsurfing.


Regole

Respect, enthusiasm and no candles (due to our thatched roof insurance!)
