My experience at Seonaid's home in Furnace was great! She is the best host ever! She was fun and flexible with the tasks we had to do! She is also an excellent cook! I loved her food and she would even make our favourite meals! I had a great time there, enjoyed the hikes around the village and the ones Seonaid tooks us too! She has a lovely dog, Islay and sometimes some friends' dogs too!! I loved sharing with them! I improved my English talking to Seonaid and her family (everyone was really nice and welcoming..and fun!).I also learned a lot about DYI tasks. Totally recommend this place ♡

Seonaid es una anfitriona maravillosa. En todo momento compartió anécdotas, información de valor, consejos, enseñanzas. Su hogar es una belleza. Todo está bien cuidado, limpio, seguro y es increiblemente acogedor. Le agradezco su paciencia, su sentido del humor, su interés en ofrecerme todo lo que necesitaba con buena actitud para hacer mis actividades y asignaciones. No puedo dejar de mencionar que mis comidas fueron increíbles, y que considero que cualquier persona que pueda ser voluntario para ella y su hogar va a tener una experiencia inolvidable. Me siento agradecida y honrada! Gracias!
