I spent three unforgettable months volunteering at the guest house and honestly, the time flew by. The views were absolutely stunning, and the work was always fair and flexible. Struan and Isla are truly two of the most wonderful people I've ever met. Kind, generous and incredibly welcoming, they made me feel at home from the very beginning. On weekends, Struan often took us to visit beautiful spots nearby, which made the experience even richer. I'm grateful for the time I spent there and for the opportunity to help in their lovely garden. I deeply recommend this place!

They were absolutely incredible! So informative and allowed us to really explore and see what the village looked like. Work was easy and non constricting. Would 100% stay again!

Struan and Isla are two of the kindest, warmest people I have met. Staying with them at the guest house was an absolute pleasure. I stayed in a glamping tent and it was very comfortable fit with a fireplace and plenty of blankets. I would just recommend bringing an eye mask and earplugs to block out morning light & birds. The work is very fair, you can choose the hours you work and your tasks and then the rest of the day is yours. On weekends, Struan would kindly take us to see various attractions. I loved my time here and am very happy to chat more about it with prospective volunteers.

Genuinely, the most life-changing experience of my life. I am so thankful for having such wonderful, caring, and supportive hosts like Struan and Isla. We got to learn about gardening through easy to do tasks, visited castles, gardens, local food and got a really good sense of the culture and local people, who are all so incredibly sweet! I felt incredibly safe here at all times and chores were easily manageable, done on your own timeline. I recommend checking out the trail next to the cemetery for some amazing views. I will never forget my experience, and couldn't recommend it more!!

This was our first experience with WorldPackers and we are so glad we chose the guest house. Me and my girlfriend decided to stay from the beginning of March until April 10th. After spending a month with them we extended our stay for another 2 weeks because we loved the company, property, and hospitality. Struan snd Isla are absolutely incredible people and truly felt like family. They are both teachers so they are gone during the day but after work and weekends they are more than happy to bring you to town if need be! This was such a good experience! I would love to share more!

Had a beautiful stay here, Struan and Isla were so welcoming and caring that i right away felt at home. They also have the cutest dog! The work is very fair, you can choose your own schedule and tasks based on what you enjoy doing. Strongly recommend!

I wish I had more space to wax poetic about how lovely, safe, quiet, kind, and gorgeous of an experience it was to be at the guest house with Struan and Isla as hosts. Suffice to say, if you are looking for a place where you can self-manage your tasks (from which there are plenty to choose-I spent my time rotating through small projects like cleaning and organizing gardening pots, weeding, and clearing gravel paths), spend some time wandering around a small village surrounded by beautiful rolling hills, and enjoy the company of a silly sweet dog and extremely kind people, you will feel at home here!

It was a splendid experience. Before arriving, i got to a where I was asking myself why I am doing this, but now I can proudly say that it was completely worth it and I will always remember it and cherish the moments I shared with them through heart and soul. Struan's family has a beautiful land and the guest house is cosy with all comfort possibilities. I look forward for our paths to cross sometime soon. I absolutely recommend it to everyone who wants to volunteer as they are flexible in both working hours and skills performed.

Struan, & his wife, Ira, were very friendly, open & helpful, Both of them often spent hours on gardening. So, It was easy to find them and ask them to find my tasks. We talked about a wide range of issues when we had lunch and we went shopping. Work: I didn't find my tasks hard. I usually worked 4 hours a day. My tasks were only gardening. My main task was weeding. Accommodation: I stayed at a guest house that was used for Airbnb. I had privacy because of the distance between the guest house and their main house. The host gave me a ride to a supermarket in Huntly a few times in a week.

I just spent three wonderful weeks with Struan and his family. They are incredible and extremely nice people with a beautiful home and gardens. I had my own the guest house which was great and ate all the raspberries that I could manage. The working hours are flexible which worked out great for me as I enjoy working in the mornings. The village is full of great people that I was fortunate to meet. The gardening work was clearing paths,, cleaning a terrace, and fixing the raspberry patches. This was a fantastic experience and one that I will always remember. I highly recommend this volunteer position.
