I loved my time with Karen at the home! She is so kind and welcoming, such a great teacher of all things art and house keeping and gardening, and always encouraging. The work was very doable and you have lots of flexibility. I felt so cared for and will miss my time here tremendously (especially watching Antique Roadshow and Masterchef). I would recommend for anyone looking for a calm and relaxing experience! Thank you Karen!!!

Karen is really a very kind, cheerful and inspiring woman. She works hard to make sure we have the best experience in your home. They were very special days, where I could connect with people and the local culture, besides knowing incredible landscapes in this country that won my heart. I really recommend this experience! Thank you, Karen! I am gonna miss you 🌷

I really enjoyed my stay with Karen :) All the time I was surrounded by calm, good energy and creativity. Karen is an incredible and very kind person! She was always keen to show me new places and share a recipe or a book :) House is beautiful too, with a warm and sunny kitchen. I particularly loved the view from my room. Usually I would help around the house or in the garden. I am very grateful for this experience since I got a chance to see breathtaking parts of Scotland and learn from someone as wonderful as Karen :)

Karen is one of the sweetest and most wholesome human beings I have met. Spending time with her was an absolute treat. Her house is spectacular and cozy, and I deeply enjoyed my time here. She took me to several wonderful places when the weather was nice. The work was easy, flexible, and enjoyable. I had a lot of time to work on my personal projects after work and travel around Scotland during my free days. Life here was slow and peaceful and it was the perfect place to recharge.

Karen is an extraordinary woman. I was truly impressed by her pace and way of life—undoubtedly an example to follow. The tasks were straightforward and always aligned with the agreed schedule. Karen ensures you feel integrated into the small community, making the experience all the more enjoyable. I met fascinating people, and the landscapes were otherworldly. Thank you so much for everything, Karen

Karen was an incredible host who was so inspiring, friendly and kind. It was a great 6 weeks where I got to really immerse myself in the local community and discover so many gorgeous parts of the West Coast and Highlands. Karen was like a best friend to me and we got to do so many lovely day trips together, cook and groove to amazing tunes, to working together to update her website and market her amazing art! I will never forget my time here at the home, it was truly special and I will miss Karen and the community dearly - thank you so much again for everything Karen ❤️ Fip Mondè😉🫶🏼

A one-of-a-kind host, Karen is dynamic and intuitive as a mentor. Her ingenuity and kindness are boundless, inspiring and motivating you to connect to yourself through both creative and professional pursuits. Tarbert is a wonderful little community in the Argyll region of Scotland, from whence there are endless opportunities for volunteers to explore the hidden gems of the western coast. Karen's home exudes a perfect balance of peace and possibility in the breathtaking natural wild of Kintyre — I am truly grateful to have had the privilege of staying with her and would return in a heartbeat!
