Chris and Suzie are wonderful hosts and I highly recommend coming here if you want to spend some time away from normal life stress. The tasks are never too challenging, the food is delicious, the evenings by the fire are very relaxing, and the nature is beautiful. They are very flexible with the free time and Chris even made me packed lunches whenever i took a day off. Thank you guys for this amazing experience :))

I had an incredibly amazing time at the farm! Suzie and Cris are two of the most kind and welcoming hosts I've ever had! The working hours are well respected and we never work more than 3:30h a day. They're such good cooks and I had different food for every meal, including traditional Scottish and English food, always delicious and very abundant. The caravan (volunteer room) is very cozy and gives you privacy when you want. They even took me to explore towns nearby and helped me plan a big hike in the costal path (that I highly recommend). I definitely recommend this experience!

My experiencie here was amazing. I felt like part of their family since Suzie and Chris were always making sure that I was doing well. The animals are also part of the family, because they make you feel at home, specially Buddy, the best dog on earth. The tasks are learning instances and interesting. I spent time cycling and visiting nearby places. I had a great time. Thank you Suzie and Chris, I wish you all the best.

I'm deeply grateful for this experience. Suzie and Chris were incredible hosts! it felt more like home than a volunteering and they gave me so much more that I was expecting it any sense. The place is beautiful, full of nature and animals, and I had my own private and cosy space in a caravan. Which I love it! And a special mention goes to the best living being in this world ,Buddy, the most adorable dog I've ever met in my life. The tasks were really varied, and I discovered that I actually love planting! Definitely a beautiful experience that I'll carry in my heart forever.

Suzie and Chris are truly amazing people. It feels just like home in their place. The amount of work is reasonable and feels like really making an impact at the lodge. The animals are very cute as well! Give Buddy and Big Cat a hug from me while you are there :D The experience is perfect for you when you want to get in touch with the people, its a very personal experience. That might not be for everyone, if you are just coming to work you'll miss out on a lot of things they have to offer! I really recommend for people that are new to worldpackers and feel insecure about staying away :) Cheers!

Suzie and Chris are the embodiment of 'mi casa es su casa'. They are just great hosts. The work is physical but not hard. You dont have to worry about feeling hungry after because Chris will make tasty meals and makes sure there is plenty of food. I left a little earlier bc i wanted to go visit family and they were very flexible and accomodating with that, Chris even made lunch for me for on my journey! This is a very rural smallholding so there isnt much activity in town. I spent my evenings watching tv with the dog Buddy and Big Cat. The pets are really lovely! 10/10 would recommend

An especially transformative and joyful experience. A home that is sacred and blessed for me, with many special friends. Animal friends who inspire us to love more and better, and human friends who invite us to practice respect, generosity, and the true meaning of sharing and collaborating. I leave this chapter with my heart overflowing with gratitude and the certainty that I still have much to experience here in Scotland in the not-too-distant future. Thank you, my dear friend Suzie. Thank you, my dear Chris. Thank you so much for all the exchanges and learning. I hope we can meet again. x x
