Tenterden incorporating West Highland Organics
We offer a unique opportunity to experience life in the North West Highlands of Scotland.
We are looking to offer you a confortable place so that you can have a nice stay with us in Ullapool. We will discuss the best times for you and for us to help, and during all your free time you will find a cozy environment in our village, where you can visit some of the 7 pubs with music, know local people, and practice your language skills. If you like nature and outdoors, Ullapool is a great place for you surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Beside our home, we have constructed a cabin for the volunteers that have come for the past 25 years, to assure you privacy and independence. However, you will be invited to share meals and socialise on many occasions with us. For your meals, you will be able to prepare them at your kitchen with a generous food allowance which we provide, as we have a supermarket at 500m from the house.
We will provide you working clothing and boots in case you do some painting and to avoid any damage to your clothes. Depending on the season you come, you will find different activities while volunteering and, in your free time.
We enjoy spending time with the volunteers if you feel like doing it, and many subsequently have become friends to return to visit again and again.
At home we live my wife and me. One of our 4 children and our 3 grandchildren live in Ullapool too, so you might get to meet them. We have lived in South America most of our lives, managing farms and enjoy practicing our Spanish and Portuguese. We have a lot of good anecdotes to share!
Outside our home, we have a big garden for growing vegetables, many fruit trees, a space for our hens and for two friendly cats that are around sometimes.
You may be asked to help around the village with other volunteer groups depending what is happening while you are here, you will find people around really nice and looking to make you feel home.
