I had a great time in Peebles. DC became a good friend , we shared laughs and stories, and I learned a lot from him. Natalia was also lovely and eager to share about Russian culture. The dogs were adorable, and I’ll miss them. The place is beautiful and perfect to disconnect; I felt at home.

Although some challenges with other volunteers made work harder at times, I still got to explore amazing spots with DC, who’s always happy to show you around.

A good level of English is important to avoid misunderstandings.
Wishing you all the best, DC! 😊💖

I'm sharing this to help future volunteers.I had to leave early. Hygiene was very poor: broken toilet cistern with no intention to fix it, no soap in the bathrooms to wash our hands, dirty bedding. We were asked to work outside agreed hours, even on days off. Tools were broken, rusty, and there were no basic safety measures. Poor organization, food and water that volunteers bought would go missing from the fridge.While cleaning the freezer, we found expired food, we threw it away, and it was taken back from the trash for the host. Unfortunately, it was not a positive experience.

This was one of the most incredible experience for me as a guest. I felt like I was home. DC is phenomenal and a beautiful person. Natalia is so kind and compassionate. They kept feeding me non-stop and DC showed me around town and drove me to amazing places. The work was so much fun, my first time for most of those things but loved every minute of it. DC's Yoga classes were brilliant. My time here couldn't have been any better, I highly recommend. THANK YOU SO MUCH DC FOR BEING YOU!

Dearest Nupur. You have left a lasting impression on me, and from this, I have gained valuable insights to the mysteries of life and myself. You are a lovely human being, and I look forward to meeting you in the future.

This volunteer was amazing and David (DC) was so kind and respectful. The shifts were flexible and all tasks were easy and simple. Some days I did gardening and others I went shopping or fixed any device in his garage.
The city is small but has many beautiful stores, parks and coffee.
He and Natalia are friendly and share good moments when they cook delicious meals, Indian and Scottish, during lunch. He teaches yoga and you can learn it and share cozy time with friends.
I practiced English a lot and we talked about many different things every day.
I loved take part in their home.
