Victorian Mansion garden & house upkeep

Imagine immersing yourself in the serene beauty of the countryside, just steps away from the renowned Offa's Dyke footpath—a haven for ramblers that marks the historic border between England and Wales. You'll be living just a mile from Hay-on-Wye, a charming town known for its world-famous bookshops, a mere 20-minute stroll from our doorstep. Volunteering with us offers not just the chance to explore this stunning landscape, but also the unique opportunity to contribute to the care of a distinguished, iconic house in the area. Come and experience country life while making a meaningful impact in a place rich with history and culture.

With over 25 years of experience hosting volunteers at our yoga retreat in Ibiza, we’ve perfected the balance between structured, productive volunteering chores and ensuring a comfortable, enjoyable stay. Volunteers can expect clear guidance during volunteering hours to maximize efforts, but we also prioritise making their free time enjoyable. We offer suggestions for local spots to explore as we’re here to help. Our goal is to create a harmonious, supportive environment where volunteers feel valued and well looked after.

We had an amazing time volunteering at Brynmelyn, and Sarah and Dan were great hosts, even inviting us to extend our stay through the holidays, treating us like family. There is always something different and engaging to do, and we were always given a wide array of tasks to draw experiences from. Working with Amy was so much fun, and we learned a lot doing so.

The town of Hay is quaint and fun to explore too. The world’s first book town, it even has a castle and weekly fair, with lots of great natural hikes in the surrounding area. We’re going to miss Hay and the cats we got quite close to

İ enjoyed the mince pie served by Amy and the alone time wandering around the beautiful garden behind the house. Living insides the house feels like a huge historical and art museum with lots of vintage and painting around the houses. Tasks are easily managed and you have plenty of time to go freely to the nature and the mountain. This is absolutely amazing experience

I had a great time volunteering and exploring hay on wye! The other volunteers were great and having dinners together every night really helped us feel like a solid group, and as a vegetarian I was always well fed by the host. Sarah and Dan were not there when I arrived, but Sarah communicated this and their daughter Millie was there to welcome me. Amy was a highlight of this experience as well, as she was great at coordinating projects and instilling confidence even when we were doing tasks that we may not have done before. My only note is that being end of November, it was quite cold.

I truly loved my time at the Gothic Mansion, the historical house, grounds & location are stunning. Daily tasks were always enjoyable & we were always given options around where our area of interests where, with in or outside options depending on the weather. Everyone who supported the volunteers were so kind, friendly & made us feel very welcome- it felt like a family away from home which we we all were so appreciative of! I would really recommend this position to anyone considering it, do pack warm clothes as it’s can be chilly in the winter months. Sending hugs to you all, thanks again!

I had a great time here! The workday usually went by quick and the tasks can vary by day. We worked 9-3 with an hour for lunch, and they are very accommodating if you want to go into town for a market day, or to head out earlier on the weekend you can usually work extra hours during the week. I worked about a half day on the first day I arrived and made up the remaining hours the next day. I was very happy to have my own room while there, though we shared one toilet/shower with around 10 people at one time! They are always working on and improving the house and the dinners were always great!!
