Help on a smallholding

Suzie and Chris are the embodiment of 'mi casa es su casa'. They are just great hosts. The work is physical but not hard. You dont have to worry about feeling hungry after because Chris will make tasty meals and makes sure there is plenty of food. I left a little earlier bc i wanted to go visit family and they were very flexible and accomodating with that, Chris even made lunch for me for on my journey! This is a very rural smallholding so there isnt much activity in town. I spent my evenings watching tv with the dog Buddy and Big Cat. The pets are really lovely! 10/10 would recommend

An especially transformative and joyful experience. A home that is sacred and blessed for me, with many special friends. Animal friends who inspire us to love more and better, and human friends who invite us to practice respect, generosity, and the true meaning of sharing and collaborating. I leave this chapter with my heart overflowing with gratitude and the certainty that I still have much to experience here in Scotland in the not-too-distant future. Thank you, my dear friend Suzie. Thank you, my dear Chris. Thank you so much for all the exchanges and learning. I hope we can meet again. x x

Chris and Suzie have a lovely farm in rural Scotland, it's a great place for anyone who wants to get close to nature and have some time away from the big cities, it's a kind of peace and quiet that you can enjoy. What can I say about Suzie and Chris? They are understanding, honest and always willing to help you plan a getaway (Suzie gives the best advice), the work is fair and the food is some of the best I've had on my trip. I highly recommend this volunteering experience.

Suzie and Chris are the most loving and caring hosts I know. I just felt like being at home and give myself some peace. You're going to have really delicious food all day long and you're definitely never getting enough of it! You'll have your own comfortable caravan to sleep and part of the living room in the house. The work you have to do is fair, good and easy. You're going to work until 1pm and have the rest of your day to enjoy yourself. The pets are so cute, especially the dog is always up for a cuddle. I recommend this place to everybody, who wants to calm down and connect to nature. :)

I owe immense gratitude to Chris and Suzie. They welcomed me into their family and treated me like their own. I did tasks like gardening, repairs, painting, and sometimes animal care and cleaning in the mornings, leaving the rest of the day free. They ensured the work was manageable and appropriate. The food was delicious and ample. On my days off, they were helpful, offering advice and preparing lunches for my biking tours. This rural area is perfect for anyone seeking quality time in nature and meaningful work. Thank you so much, Suzie and Chris! I'll miss you and hope to see you again.

Thank you so much Suzie and Chris for the hospitality and good deal. I felt at home, was a amazing experience for me where I improve so much my English especially the listening and new vocabulary about gardening and farms. The tasks were simple and adjusted to the weather. The food was delicious, I tried Scottish tipicals food. There are a lot of amazing places nearby for explore by foot or bicycle. I totally recommend this experience.

Great opportunity to know the country side of Scotland and get in touch with nature and farm animals. Suzie and Chris were always making sure that I was happy with the task and their family dynamics. Thanks for teaching me about gardening and all those puddings!

I can't say enough good things about this family, I felt very welcomed and looken after, They have the cutest pets and meals were perfect, the task were simple, straight forward and diverse, you learn a bit about everything of what it entitles to run a farm, a lot about animals, you have a little place of your own for privacy, is a perfect place for someone that enjoys peace an quiet, wants to connect with nature and learn from it, it was a lovely experience :)

My stay at the Withorn Lodge was overall nice. Since I stayed in my own van, I can not say anything about the provided accommodation, but the trailer looks big and nice from the outside. Suzie is a lovely and educated woman, she and her husband are very helpful with whatever you need. Tasks were mostly gardening, easy to do and adjusted to the Scottish weather.
