The Experience
We're a guest house in Kinlochleven on the West Highland way and surrounded by mountains and lochs (lakes). Volunteering consists of waitressing, housekeeping, laundry, reception, and kitchen help 4 days a week, for 4 hours. You'll have 3 full days off per week so we can enjoy the surroundings! Accommodation is in a shared apartment with myself and sometimes my girlfriend, plus possibly another volunteer :)

My time at the the guest house is something I will never forget! Kinlochleven is a quiet, safe, and absolutely stunning place to hike around by yourself/other volunteers/Lewis. Lewis made me feel right at home, and I appreciated the mutual trust we had as strangers who became friends over my stay. The work was easy, and you get into a good routine with it, while still having time to explore the surrounding area. I took the bus to Glencoe quite a bit - I just couldn't get enough of the highland cows there! I became great friends with other volunteers here and will miss them dearly!

I had a lovely experience volunteering, the tasks are well structured & ordered. Luis was an excellent host, we played lots of games/hiked/laughed. The room had a beautiful view of the mountains. I'm grateful for my time spent here and for the lovely people I got to meet! I'd recommend to anyone looking for a slow nature getaway!

The time I spent here at the the guest house was extraordinary. Lewis is an amazing person and we got along so well. We went on some hikes together with anothe volunteer and he showed and told us about history and landmarks in this area. Work was definitely manageable and you have a good amount of freetime where you can just roam around the surrounding hills/mountains or chill in your cozy little room with a great view of said mountains. Kinlochleven and my time here will have a special place in my heart. 🫶🏻
