I had such a lovely experience at the host! When I went, the work was very easy and enjoyable – just walking the dogs in the morning and afternoon, and helping a little with keeping the house tidy. The rest of the time was free to relax, explore the beautiful woods and nature around Dalavich, or enjoy Irene's wonderful cooking. I always felt so welcome, and I will never forget the whole the host family: Irene, Chris, Himash, Malky, Ned, Nala, and Smoky. They all made my stay truly special! I'm so grateful for my time here and would highly recommend it to anyone!

I just have to thank Irene for accepting me into her home. I really enjoyed the time I spent in Dalavich, it's a beautiful and peaceful place. The forest is wonderful, there's a lot of tranquility there... But what was hardest for me to leave was Himash and Malky... 🖤🤎🥹 I'll never forget what Christopher did for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything... 💚

I loved my time at Irene's place. I always felt comfortable, was able to spend time in nature and with the dogs and could keep busy by helping out around the house. It's a great way to disconnect, eat delicious food and meet some of the nicest, friendliest locals you'll ever encounter. Thank you so much Irene! I already miss the dogs, the nature and most of all the people

I had a good time in the host Cottage. It was basically feeding the dogs (which are adorable! I'll miss them) and taking them for a walk twice a day and doing some housework. The rest of the time is for yourself. They were quite considerate with me being a vegetarian and their cooking was delicious. Unfortunately to me, they smoke inside of the house so I would've preferred to know that beforehand. The place is quite remote so if you love nature and you don't have any problem with the smoke, I would recommend it. Thank you Irene and Chris for having me and especially Ned, Maulkie and Hamish
