    Improve your English in friendly relaxed way. Try traditional cuisine. Connect with nature in one of Yorkshires most beautiful areas. Give yourself time and space to think.

    We have had many helpers and enjoyed there company and look forward to many more. Also been a volunteer in Poland and really enjoyed it. It is our ambition to host helpers and guests from all over the World and surprisingly we are well on our way to doing so. Sports lovers especially Table Tennis. We are now welcoming back some of our previous helpers and there families and catching up with them and it is great to see them all again.
