For winter stays, there's a woodburning fireplace and plenty of books and boardgames to enjoy. For spring/summer stays, we're a 20-minute walk from the beach.Types of help and learning opportunities

Besides caring for the cats, we would love help planting/caring for seedlings with our indoor grow lights and preparing/checking on winter sowing boxes. Weather permitting, help with weeding.
