I'm really glad to hear that! It looks absolutely beautiful from pictures but I have no idea how accurate google is. I will be travelling alone and am worried I will be isolated and lonely, are there social environments where I'd be able to meet people? I am going to be volunteering at Dove Cottage.

Do I need a visa to volunteer? There is no exchange of cash other than me paying for accommodations
Yes, most certainly you do.

Where can i go about arranging this? It is also a placement that is being done through my school, Queen's University, for my program and rather than doing it in Ontario I have chosen to volunteer abroad.

In that case I suggest you ask your school: they may well have an arrangement in place.
Since your placement is short, you might get away with coming to the UK as a tourist, although that is not something that I recommend.
