The hostel is a perfectly located hiker's paradise right at the heart of the West Highlands. As a volunteer, you'll have plenty of time to explore all the easily reachable attractions and hiking trails in the area. The hostel itself is very cosy with a beautiful lounge and stunning outside views, while the outdoor firepit offers a great spot for both guests and volunteers to gather in the evenings. I felt welcome right from the start and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Thanks again to everyone who made my time here so special. Highly recommended!

I stayed for a month. And I enjoyed every single day. My stay was wonderful, the managers are awesome. There was something at anytime, I really liked the hostel; it's so pretty and the Hostel is beautiful as well. I'd totally recommend to volunteer here and see it for yourself!

I had a great time volunteering in the hostel. The hostel is in a great location with gorgeous views. The work is pretty simple, and when it's all done, you have plenty of time to explore the local area (including Ben Nevis, if you prefer). You will meet people all over the world - both volunteers and guests :) This was my first Worldpackers experience, which came with some unforeseen challenges I had to deal with. The team there were very understanding and supportive. So if you're a first-time volunteer I also recommend this experience.

The tasks were very reasonable and well organized, giving me plenty of time to explore the beautiful surroundings. I truly felt at home and will miss this place a lot. Thank you for everything :) I'll carry these memories with me! 💛
