This was my first volunteering and I'm so happy that I had Sav and all the people in the hotel to help me. Since day one they all made everything to make me fell at home and happy. Sav is more than a host, she's a friend I've gained for life. Thanks for everything and be sure I'll be back to check on you guys. πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπŸ’™πŸ€

Hi Sav, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful opportunity to meet you all, it was an amazing experience and I will never forget it. In the future I am thinking of coming back, but let's talk about it. the hotel is a great. The location itself is pretty quiet but gives you easy access to Edinburgh and surrounding. The tasks themselves are simple and they try to schedule around your commitments if you work or study. The staff have treated me super well and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to volunteer here. Highly recommended! Thank you very much for everything! Regar

I did my very first Worldpackers experience at this hotel. I can highly recommend it, especially if you want to improve your skills when it comes to general maintenance. You get a look behind how a hotel is run. Sav and her team welcomend me very warm and friendly. I immediately felt like a part of the team. You have exactly the same kind of work as everyone and everyone has to do the same fair amount of work. I also liked how you can easily get to Edinburgh in 20 minutes with the train. You can also take a very nice walk along the coast. Whenever I struggled with something, the staff helped.

The place and the location are good. If the shifts allow, you could have the opportunity to explore amazing Scotland. Shifts are respected most of the time, however because sometimes the staff lack precision and organisation, it may be the case you would work more than 25 hours, perhaps not evenly distributed. Sometimes you get back the extra hours, sometimes not. The tasks are easy, but if you don't achieve the results as they want, it might be stressful. There is not a clear list of activities and instructions. At the end Sav and Josie are kind, but there's still a lot to improve.

Everybody at the hotel is really nice! The experience is perfect if you're looking for something relatively quiet while still having the possibility to enjoy Edinburgh and other nearby busier cities as well on days off, as the train station is only a few minutes by foot from the Hotel. As for the work it's easy, various and you can adjust your shifts. The hotel can get a little busy on the weekends, but it's more relaxed on the weekdays. Depending on how full the hotel gets you also have your own room or you'll have to share with one other volunteer so it's really cosy either way

Helping at the hotel was great. The host is great at trying to make volunteering hours work for everyone and still give you some time to explore Scotland, especially on your days off. She and the rest of the team were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable -- and good for practising English with! You'll be able to learn some valuable transferrable skills, as well as feel immersed in Scottish culture -- make the most of the Fife Coastal Path, which starts 5mins away from the hotel! A good opportunity to meet interesting people from many different places and backgrounds :)

We had such a great time at the hotel. Working hours are flexible and you'll always have time to explore the area. I work remotely and I could combine the two things perfectly. Everyone was so nice and helpful! Both guests and staff made us feel welcome. This is a great opportunity to learn about hotel management, practice the language, and meet other travelers. Overall, we're really grateful for the experience!

The hotel is a great, relaxed place to volunteer. The location itself is pretty quiet but gives you easy access to Edinburgh and surrounding areas where there is lots to explore in your free time. The tasks themselves are simple and they try to schedule around your commitments if you work or study etc. The staff have treated me super well and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to volunteer here. Highly recommended!

The hotel and the hotel gives plenty of suitable possibilities of getting to know the guests in the hotel as well as interesting chances of practicing English language. The Hotel thinks actively with you to adjust your working hours to your college or free time obligations. The work tasks could be done in a quite relaxt and friendly atmosphere. All the other staff members are friendly and are likely to invest a lot of time in their volunteers. the hotel and the hotel is highly recommendable for everyone who would like to know the Scottish hospitality, nature and culture.
