My partner Michael and I had a great experience at the lodge. Sophie, Louise and Paul were lovely hosts. We also loved meeting Sandra and Stuart who work there, they were really lovely and helped us out a lot. We enjoyed our tasks and were happy to be contributing to a worthwhile cause. It was fascinating to learn about the rewilding project and learn more about the beavers and ponies. We would recommend this experience to others, particularly those who have a passion for the environment and contributing to change.

Kate and Michael were the most incredible help. They were the perfect fit for the tasks (as well as being massively overqualified)! In particular, they carried out a huge amount of fence removal, which has been transformative for us, allowing animals to move more freely across our rewilding project. I really enjoyed hearing about the state of nature, farming and ecological regulation in Australia. They are both really easy going, personable, hard working and highly efficient. Sophie
Avalon
United Kingdom
Had an enjoyable time here with the Ramsay's. Lots of time to spend doing what you want and they're happy to drop you off in nearby towns to get buses and such/go shopping. Would volunteer again!

Avalon was brilliant. Great paint work (properly trained). Really adaptable and hard working and happy with all her tasks (a lot of different things were thrown at her), good fun with the resident 6 year old! Also has a great sense of humour! Hope to see you again, Avalon! Sophie

Never expected this to be such an unforgettable week. The whole family were incredibly kind and responsible. From transportation arrangements to grocery shopping, work planning, and accommodation, they took care of everything so well.The work was reasonable and flexible, I really enjoyed contributing in ways I could in such a beautiful environment, especially seeing the family's deep commitment to environmental rewild and responsible land use. Sophie's family and other volunteers are incredibly friendly, they bought a sense of warmth and made me feel at home. I truly hope to see them all again

I was lucky to stay here over the New Year holidays. For the first time in my life, I was able to experience a Western Christmas and New Year's Eve party. They were truly wonderful experiences. I mainly did housekeeping and invasive plant removal. The host family and staff are all very nice. Paul, the owner of the castle, is a gentleman. Sophie checked me out frequently. Louise was very flexible, easy to talk to, and easy to work with. I'm grateful to all the people. If you're looking to live in the Scottish countryside, I definitely recommend this place.
