Boreland Lodge Hotel
We're a small hotel just North of Edinburgh. You can get to Edinburgh just 30mins on the train. Volunteers get their own private room with an ensuite or share with another Volunteer we're all like family. We're experienced hosts and are always welcoming volunteers with open arms!
We have 4 staff members here: John and Josie ,Greg and shelbie who are all Scottish. We only speak English (with a very Scottish accent )and try to encourage only English to be spoken whilst on duty. Volunteers are treated with patience and respect. Here you'll be able to improve your English, have lots of free study time, and gain good experience to put on your CV. During your time off you can enjoy the area, discover Edinburgh and travel around Scotland.We are happt to help and support you.

I absolutely loved my volunteering experience in Scotland! The staff was amazing—so kind, welcoming, and supportive. I also had a great time connecting with the other volunteers, and we shared lots of fun moments together. The tasks were easy and well-organized, and I could really see the hotel improving day by day. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and I’ll definitely come back in the future!

I truly enjoyed my time at Boreland Lodge Hotel, saying goodbye to this place has been very bittersweet. I was very well received and felt very welcome here, Sav and Josie are lovely people. The location is great also, Inverkeithing is such a beautiful place as it has lots of nature and breathtaking views along the coastal path. And it is only a short train or bus ride to Edinburgh. I’m very grateful for the time I spent here and I will miss this place!!!

Thanks you very much Boreland Hotel, everything was fantastic!

It's very difficult to put into this small space what this experience meant to me. The connection I had with everyone was beautiful, it’s emotional just to remember. Josie became a wonderful friend in my life, and Sav, always elegant and kind, was always ready to listen to us.
The facilities are very good, working hours are respected, and the work is very easygoing and simple to understand. Plus, it's close to the train station, not to mention the numerous buses that pass nearby.
I had the chance to experience a typical Scottish lifestyle and understand the local customs and culture.

It was a great experience, many thanks to the whole team, but mainly to Sav and Josie, Josie is one of the best people I have ever met, I miss them already, I hope to come back. I'm taking away a great experience.
