I stayed only one week with Val and Graham, and it was an amazing experience!! I didn't know what to expect as it was my first world packers experience, but it is possible they have RUINED all future worldpacker stays in the best way possible. Everyone on Coll is incredibly inviting, and from day one, I felt like a member of the community and of the family. The work is manageable, and time is respected. In time off, you can explore the island, visit Tiree or neighboring Islands via ferry, or just hang out with the locals in the town center. I can not recommend this experience more!!

My experience was great, maybe the best so far! Graham and Val are amazing hosts. They make you feel home - comfortable accommodation, great food, very convenient working hours (with bees!) And the place is so beautiful! I definitely recommend this experience 🙂🙏🏼

I cannot recommend this place enough. Val and Graham are exceptional people, their place is amazing beautiful. You get to eat fresh eggs every morning from their chickens, they have a lovely dog and two fluffy cats. Working with the bees is lovely. Coll is a beautiful place and they would take me to the beach often and we swam on the ocean. My heart is forever there and I genuinely didn't want to leave.

I had such an amazing experience on Isle Coll, I'd love to go back. Working on a variety of tasks and learning a bunch about bees. They are wonderful most that treat with warm understanding and kindness. A home away from home. Thanks Again

This experience will definitely be a highlight of my travels! Val and Graham are welcoming hosts that go out of their way to make you feel a part of the family. They both are very knowledgeable about bees and the island so there is lots to learn from them. The island is beautiful and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to go off the beaten track and explore nature. I would love to return again to Coll!

What a wonderful experience this was! Val and Graham are truly kind and loving people who welcomed me into their family and made me feel so connected and cared for on Coll. Graham is a wonderful teacher (and even better storyteller!) and I'm lucky to have learned so much about beekeeping from him. Val is sweet and fun and really knows her stuff with all things honey related! Plenty to learn from them both. Coll is a small but connected community that is an experience in itself. Highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys being in nature, swims in the ocean and a break from travel!

Had an incredible time on the home. Was immensely welcoming and I truly loved my time there. Val is very kind and Graham is full of mischief and "cunning plans." I would recommend this to anyone. The people and location is truly amazing and I look forward to going back.

What a lovely couple and what a lovely experience! Val and Graham are at the top of the most hospitable hosts I have come across. They made us feel like home, drove us around the island, helped us explore the majestic beaches, and treated us with great respect and care! An experience different from others, on a quiet small island with beautiful landscapes and sandy beaches and a lot of sheep and cows! They also have two adorable cats and a dog! It's definitely an experience for someone who is looking to get in touch with nature, their own self, and practice mindfulness!!

That experience was absolutely great. 100% highly recommend going to that place and meeting with the loveliest people ever. Everyone there was so welcoming and helpful.. They gave me nice gifts made by them which absolutely so kind of them.. I'm 100% sure that. I would like to go back again there with family and friends to enjoy the island once again..
