The Experience
We are a small independent hostel in the stunning Loch Ness region of the Scottish Highlands. We have 39 beds, a great bar with over 30 Scottish beers, and a really friendly atmosphere. We LOVE having volunteers come and work with us, and being part of our hostel family for a few weeks or months, and our online reviews demonstrate just how important the team is to our reputation. They all seem to love being here too, so we're thrilled!

I had a wonderful experience in Drum and Nikki & Patrick were fantastic hosts! They were great at communicating expectations and offered rides to Inverness regularly. I appreciated how much they cared that the volunteers were happy and provided great opportunities to experience the area and Scottish culture. The tasks were easy and the schedule was respected. It's a great location to see more of the Highlands and I highly recommend swimming in the hostel.

My experience and staying in general was wonderful! Nikki and Patrick are excellent hosts and workers, they are always willing to help you and listen to you in whatever you need, the habitability is one of the best I have lived in, the tasks to do are easy and there is nothing really complex to learn, I highly recommend the hostel as volunteering! It is also located in a beautiful place, completely green and with many things to see in its surroundings, thank you very much Nikki and Patrick for everything!

I have done my first volunteer work at this hostel and I can't be more grateful. The owners, Nikki and Patrick have been super friendly and helped us in everything they could. The place, the people I have met, the experiences I have had (many first times! ) have been magical. From the meetings at the bar, to the baths in the lake in ice water, playing with Dougal , the real dog owner and lord of the place until the starry nights. I recommend 100x100 this small haven of peace in the middle of nowhere. Thank you very much Nikki and Patrick, , I can't explain in words what it has meant to me :)

The experience in the hostel was incredible, something I didn't expect. Is a small town and you can be delighted with beautiful cottages, rainbows, deers, nature and more. If you are seeking for a place surrounded by nature with hikes nearby, this is the place. Nikki and Patrick are lovely hosts, they teach you, can give you lifts to Inverness or hikes. The duties are not difficult, it's hard work as the description says, but as long as you work in team everything is easier 💪 If you decide to come, go to swim to the hostel as much as you can, it's lifetime experience 😍
