Hill of Balmaghie House

I have been welcoming volunteers into my home for over 10 years.
I have remained friends with them all.

I am particularly looking for a couple to help me in the Summer holidays when my grandsons aged 9 and 8 come to stay with their ponies. I want To give them a wonderful time and it would suit you if you like to be active swimming, biking,football, tennis, riding and also helping with barbecues, parties and general fun.

Come and stay with me and experience this beautiful part of scotland.

If you are over 25 and have a drivers licence and can drive a manual car, you will be able to borrow my car on yourdays off

I am looking for help with my house and garden and particularly with my two lovely horses. I have recently moved into a newly renovated house in the most beautiful setting near my old home where my daughter Flora and her family are now living. I am widely travelled and returned to live here 10 years ago. I have dogs, a cat and horses. There is plenty of opportunity to ride horses, wonderful walks and bike rides.

I had a wonderful time staying with Susie! The work was a mix of helping care for the animals and household tasks. I had lots of opportunities to go riding and could use one of Susie's cars to go on trips in my free time. She also involved me in get-togethers with her friends and family as well as local events. Would recommend to anyone looking to spend time in nature and around dogs and horses!

My first experience with Worldpacker and it was great! Susie is the best host, very generous and caring. This is the perfect place if you love animals, especially horses!
Met a lot of lovely people, both neighbors and Susie’s family and friends.
You won’t go hungry and you will laugh every day!

I had a very nice time here. Susie is a lovely person and her animals are the sweetest.
The work varied from preparing food, planting flowers, mowing the lawn to feeding the chickens and helping with cleaning the nearby church.
I had my own little car with which I could go on some daytrips around the area.
All in all it was good experience where I could learn a lot of new things about the locals and their culture.

I felt welcomed and comfortable at Susie's. The house and the place nearby are beautiful, and you can enjoy them riding or having long walks. The job consists in what you read on the description: taking care of the animals, gardening, little housework. Day-off absolutely respected.
What's more, you have the possibility to live the local life, not only with the family but also with the nice neighbours. Everyone was so kind and helpful. An experience that I absolutely recommend to anyone.

This was my first Worldpacker experience and what an experience for sure! I've never felt this independent in my life. Susie encourages you to grow beyond yourself, but note that it's not made for everybody because it requires strong mental energy to step out of your comfort zone. Don't expect either to work 25 hours a week as mentioned in the add, and don't be shy to ask for your days off and stick to it. Also don't hesitate to ask questions, Susie will repeat and try to make it as understandable as possible.
Exceptional place with great horses and I had a good time overall 🏇
