Kames Cottage

Here we live in Beautiful Dalavich Village on the shore of Loch Awe. Our nearest town is Oban. Here we have a small family business looking after a Cabin/Holiday site. The area is truly beautiful and there are plenty of hiking opportunities. I have included some pictures of the area.

You will be treated with the respect you give here. In Dalavich, the people are very laid back and friendly mostly. It is very rural life but amazing. You will see the real Scotland here. In the house you will share a room possibly with another workaway, but have your own bed. We have a shared kitchen and bathroom here. Mostly we take turns to cook the evening meal, trying to sample food from other countries, just don't put too many herbs for Irene ;-). You help yourself, within reason, to breakfast and lunch in the morning, then we sit down together for the evening meal. Most of the help we need here is general housework, gardening, walking the dogs, and other minor DIY jobs around the house and holiday site. Usually you will be finished work around 1500 after starting at 0930/1000 (depending on when customers check out).

I just have to thank Irene for accepting me into her home. I really enjoyed the time I spent in Dalavich, it's a beautiful and peaceful place. The forest is wonderful, there's a lot of tranquility there... But what was hardest for me to leave was Himash and Malky... 🖤🤎🥹
I'll never forget what Christopher did for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything... 💚

I loved my time at Irene's place. I always felt comfortable, was able to spend time in nature and with the dogs and could keep busy by helping out around the house. It's a great way to disconnect, eat delicious food and meet some of the nicest, friendliest locals you'll ever encounter. Thank you so much Irene! I already miss the dogs, the nature and most of all the people

Most days the work is easy and light. It is only a little harder if there are cabins to clean. I loved the calm and beauty of the place, and the way they welcomed me and made me feel at home. And I am simply in love with the dogs. I recommend it to anyone who wants a calm place close to nature. I will miss the place, the people and definitely the incredible and loving Heimi and Malkie.

The experience was very good, it was my first time in the United Kingdom. The area where this volunteering is located is beautiful, it has incredible landscapes. Mrs. Irene and Cris were always very kind, their house is very nice and the room for the volunteers is excellent. It was good to help them with simple cleaning and gardening tasks, taking two dogs for a walk that are very adorable. Together with her granddaughter Loren, she cleans the cabins during the week. She is a person with a very good attitude and is very funny. On our days off we go for walks in the forest or swim in the river.

I loved the experience! Irene is a great host. She is respectful, kind and friendly. We also spent time with Cris and Lauren, they care about your stay and your activities in the cabins. The best thing about volunteering is absolutely the dogs. Himi and Mockie are really sweet. They are always looking for you to accompany you and spend time with you. The house is in the middle of nature, has amazing nature trails and is very close to the river. It is perfect to disconnect and spend some quiet time.
