The Experience

We are currently starting our next project which is building our new volunteer room. We have hosted for over 10 years and took a step back due to helping another project. We would like to host again so are starting construction in February with aim to complete with your help end of February and into March. We need help to look after our dogs during 3 days in February as we have some commitments.

It was a really great experience that allowed us to improve our English and visit the beautiful Scottish landscapes . Catrina and Gordon are very kind and since from the start they made us fell welcomed. The work hours were respected and the tasks were easy. Catrina is an excellent cook and she always gave us tips for our trips, and Gordon is really friendly and a smiling person. We had the opportunity to try the typical local food and also to cook for them our typical Italian dishes. The have two funny and sweet dogs we fell in love with. Thank you very much for the experience!

It was an incredible experience, Catrina is a fantastic cook and Gordon knows how to talk about everything, they are very good-natured! We learned a lot about the culture of the home and they gave us lots of tips on places to go! The tasks and accommodation are excellent. The real spirit of volunteering lives in this place, they cared all the time about our experience! We're going to miss this place, especially Leo and Jacob!

My experience was simply amazing. Catrina and Gordon are a really fun couple, always ready to chat and teach you new things. The working hours were respected and the work itself wasn't too hard. Catrina is really caring as well as an amazing cook. She also will give you some amazing tips on what to see all over the home. The place is beautiful and you have the opportunity to visit the surroundings (like Stirling and Edinburgh). Also they have two beautiful dogs that are absolutely the cutest. Thanks for the experience! :)
