I had a great time at the hostel. The work is easy and the working hours are respected. The staff is really nice and helpful and since the hostel owners run other hostels in Scotland it was possible to explore other locations as well.

I spent a month in the hostel, I enjoyed my time here and I would recommend it. It's such a lovely little town where you can do lots of hiking, eat ice cream, go to the café or sit near the lake. You can also go to other cities like Glasgow or Edinburgh by bus during your days off, or you can just relax in the hostel which feels just like home. Everyone I met was kind and I will remember them. Thanks to everyone for everything, especially Derek, who is a cool person with good recommendations who wears cool t-shirts !!

The hostel is a magical place. One I never imagined I'd visit. It's a small but very picturesque town, with beautiful views and charming Scottish buildings. A gem in the Highlands. Very close to Edinburgh, which you can visit on your days off, and they also allow you to stay in other hostels in the same chain. I loved the flexibility, the beautiful work environment, and I made friends. The owners, Jo and Richard, are very friendly and always willing to make sure you have a good volunteer experience. I loved meeting them and stayed at their beautiful hostel I will miss you very much
