The Experience
We are a 5* guesthouse in Oxford with an affiliated charitable purpose. The guesthouse facilities include an indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna & tennis court that volunteers are able to use. We are a 30 minute cycle from the beautiful city of Oxford. We are in our own 12 acres of woodlands. Chores will include working with our full time staff to clean the rentals, check-in guests, run the facilities, make breakfast and making home made chocolates.

I had a wonderful time volunteering at the guest house, and highly recommended it to anyone looking for a magical and unique volunteer experience. I am extremely grateful for the amazing group of volunteers I got to share this experience with🩵 The property itself is stunning, surrounded by nature, with enchanting accomodation and facilities. It always felt special to show guests the magic of what Yaz has created! The work is split up well between the volunteers, with hours respected. Volunteer accommodation is comfortable, all the staff are friendly, and Yaz and his family are so kind and welcoming!

My experience at the guest house was really special. The property is beautiful, super peaceful, and close enough to Oxford to explore the city often. But what truly made this experience meaningful for me were the people. I was incredibly lucky to share this time with an amazing group. The friendships, the support, and all the small everyday moments we shared are what I'll remember the most. The people on site were also wonderful which made everything even better! I'm very grateful for everything I experienced and learned during my time there. 🤍

I had a lovely time at the guest house. I am so incredibly grateful for the friends that I made and many beautiful conversations and laughs we had together ! The work is easily split up between all of the volunteers and I had fun experiencing the magic of Narnia in Oxford :)

I highly recommend the guest house for anyone seeking a unique and fulfilling volunteer experience. The people are warm and kind. Communication is easy. The volunteer accommodation is comfortable. The property itself is beautiful, surrounded by nature but close enough to public transport that traveling into Oxford's city centre was never really hard. Above all, the work felt meaningful. Guests in the rentals come here for a magical escape, and it was really cool to be a part of making that happen. I think it's a very special place and I'm so grateful for the time I got to spend here. ❤️🌳✨

I loved my time at the guest house and would absolutely do it again. The property is even more beautiful than the photos, and with so many amenities it felt like I was a guest sometimes instead of a volunteer. The agreed-upon hours were always respected, and Yaz was communicative, flexible, and genuinely welcoming. The location is a bit of a walk from the city center, but there's a bus stop about 15 mins away walking with a 25ish-min ride into town. Also, Yaz often invited us to share meals, which I really enjoyed. Be sure to ask him to show you a few of his magic tricks while you're around!

Bailey, we miss you so much 💛
Your energy really was like a whirlwind of magic passing through The Oaks. You brought warmth, care, and joy into everything you did, and you made every guest feel genuinely special just by being you. From helping us spin the honey to sharing laughter around the table, you were part of what made The Oaks feel alive ✨
