Desde el primer día, fui recibido con calidez y apoyo por parte de Simón y Helena. Su compromiso con la misión del proyecto familiar y su pasión por ayudar a los demás fueron contagiosas y me inspiraron a dar lo mejor de mí en cada actividad. Mi pareja y yo logramos poner en práctica nuestro inglés y mejorarlo, resaltando que es importante llegar con un buen inglés para que se faciliten las actividades.

Lamentablemente no tuve una buena experiencia, el lugar es agradable, la cabaña es comoda y funcional, pero no logramos sentirnos cómodos, no hubo una buena comunicación, nunca nos sentimos valorados a pesar de que dimos nuestro mayor esfuerzo, llegamos con muchas ganas de aprender y contentos por la oportunidad a pesar de no tener experiencia sin embargo nos desmotivó la hostilidad que se fue desarrollando a lo largo de los días, aún así hicimos las cosas bien y avisamos con anticipación nuestra salida cosa que no fue bien recibida y lamentablemente tuvimos que irnos antes.

Unfortunately we did not get along with this couple. They worked hard but spent to much time on their phones.
Then out of the blue they declared they had to leave in a few days , almost a month before the agreed date.Despite the fact that, at that time I was unwell and they obviously felt no obligation to their commitments.

Had a truly wonderful time at Tenderden the farm. It was my first time volunteering with worldpackers and Simon and Eileen were so welcoming, generous and kind, with great senses of humour! I felt very taken care of. They were very adaptable to my needs relating to injury, also doing things like very kindly altering work schedules so I could do some sightseeing in more ideal weather! I thoroughly enjoyed helping out in their lovely garden, and spending time with them in general.

Staying with Simon and Eileen was a wonderful decision. We came with the mission of helping out at the charity dinner that was going to be held at Christmas. Simon, who was the organizer, was very clear in each task he gave us, always willing to answer questions in a very friendly way ❤️ They were always concerned that we had a good experience and for that we will always be grateful. I hope we can see each other again 🥰

Simon and Eileen are really kind. Eileen has a great sense of humor and Simon is always open to answer any questions if the task is not clear. The tasks are very varied and the weekly time is respected. We really enjoyed our time there. The place is very cozy and Ullapool is a must-visit place if you want to experience Scottish culture. I hope to see you again Simon and Eileen!

I had an amazing time staying with Simon and Eileen! They were very welcoming and made me feel at home in Ullapool. The hours and tasks clear and easy to understand. I also got to try different things, like painting, gardening, apple picking, and housekeeping. In addition, Ullapool is such a scenic place and also had lots of events and live music to see :)

Fernanda left a good 'feeling' where ever she went. She worked hard, effectively and picked skills up really quickly.
Socially , a very nice person to be with. Here in the village several people have sent their regards and asked if she would be coming back.
Scoring a 10 out of 10 from us.

Holly, Rory and Kitty were the best hosts I could ask for. They were very kind, respectful and worried if I was happy with everything, with food, activities, bed, room, company, the tasks...I'm very grateful about this awesome experience, they became real friends now. I recommend this place for everyone that has a good heart, cause this family is special and deserve good volunteers around! Thanks for everything!

Simon and Eileen were wonderful hosts. They were always thoughtful and welcoming, eager to help with any queries. The work was always reasonable and clear. I had a great time in ullapool. I learned multiple skills that will be useful, I hope, in the future. Doing garden chores, cleaning and minor construction worked with clear instructions made everything easier! Besides, they are always eager to exchange their experiences with the volunteers, which translated in really interesting conversations

I was very happy in my time in Ullapool! Simon and Eileen are great hosts with big hearts that made me feel as part of their family. Working in the garden was gratifying and I learned a lot of new skills. Simon is a great leader, always sharing his knowledge and explaining in detail what is required. I also enjoyed very much the conversations with Eileen and Simon when they invited me to lunch or supper. They also had great suggestions of activities I could attend in my free time. The whole experience was healing and inspiring. Thank you for everything I hope to come back very soon.
