I enjoyed my time in the Scottish landscape, it was a beautiful setting and loved my time spent with the animals. The hours were a bit confusing for us as there was not set schedule

Loved our stay with Susie, the house and farm are beautiful! Amazing place to connect with nature. We throughly enjoyed our time spent with the animals in the surrounding landscape.

For us it was the first experience with Worldpackers.Getting there(it's a bit far from the main areas but you're immersed in nature) every day was a discovery and it's true Susie doesn't have a pre-established programme, every day at breakfast she explained to us what to do.We worked hard doing everything and much more from the requests received but with pleasure!Surely if you know the language well everything will be easier!the question is...what do you expect?What is your purpose?Each of us has our own, we will continue towards the best path but as a first experience in the end it went well!

Lady Ross is a very nice woman: her property and her animals are lovely. I met a local family who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. One issue I did run into was the hours: do not expect to work five hours a day. I was working anywhere from 10-14 hours, most days of the week. Even most days off I was still working for a while with the horses. When I tried addressing this issue, it was made to be my fault. I was told if I looked bored I'd be given work to do, which happened even on days off. I believe she is trying to improve, it just became too much and I left after four weeks.

Susie es una excelente persona, nos trato demasiado bien al llegar a castle douglas no recogio en el carro, nos brindo un lugar muy comodo para dormir y preparar comida, creo que repetiria mi experiencia con susie y trabajar mas fuerte para compensar todo lo que ella nos brindo. Susie muchas gracias por recibirnos y deseo lo mejor para ti en todo.

Susie es una persona encantadora, muy amable y paciente, solo estuve por dos semanas y me hubiera encantado estar mas tiempo, las tareas son de jardinería y domesticas, no es nada complicado, los horarios se cumplen, tienes muy buena comida y las instalaciones son hermosas, si quieres conectar con la naturaleza, te gustan los perros y los caballos, este es un lugar ideal para ti, espero volver algún día, pues me encantaron los alrededores de Castle Douglas.

A anfitriã solicita constantemente tarefas, falando rápido e ocasionalmente não as explica de maneira didática. Ela pode complicar tarefas simples, preferindo que sejam feitas a sua maneira. As instalações são ótimas e algumas atividades foram pesadas. A alimentação é composta principalmente por itens próximos do vencimento, devido à economia. Há possibilidade de trabalhar mesmos nos fins de semana. Identificamos o idioma como um obstáculo significativo, ideal ter inglês intermediário ou avançado! Muitas vezes nos sentimos como funcionários e não voluntários! Agradecemos a experiência!

Mi experiencia en este lugar ha sido excelente, contacto con la naturaleza 💯. La Señora muy amable y comprensiva. Hemos podido compartir comida española cocinada por mí que a ella y su familia les ha encantado.
