My time at Quila Cridhe was amazing! Isla and Paul are lovely hosts, kind and generous! Little Shaw and Cola can be quite chaotic but that just contributes to the warm family atmosphere! The farm is surrounded by beautiful nature landscapes while still being well connected to nearby cities. The other volunteers were wonderful as well and we did lots of fun things together on our free days and evenings! Sadly we stayed for two weeks, but I would gladly come back (at the very least to enjoy those scones again)! Thank you Isla and Paul!

I had the best time at Quila Cridhe, loved everything. The location is beautiful, the work was fun and exactly as agreed upon. Isla and Paul are the best hosts, creating a warm and welcoming place that felt like home. They are really generous and very funny, laughed a lot!! Thank you for an amazing stay <3

Quila Cridhe is a beautiful place, but what makes it truly special is the people there. Isla and Paul are wonderful people; from the moment I walked through their door, they made me feel welcome. Paul is an incredible person, super attentive, and has a wonderful, contagious energy. They have a beautiful and very sweet baby thanks to his amazing parents. Dunja was an angel to me because she always had a beautiful smile. Thank you for being so understanding with me because of my lack of English. It was a wonderful experience that I'll always cherish! Thank you. ♥ Btw: PAUL, ERES GRANDIOSO!!!!

One of the best experiences of my life. Isla and Paul welcomed me and other volunteers into their home in such a warm way that I immediately felt at home. We worked five days a week in their the guest house, where I learned a lot about hospitality and, of course, Highland Cows. They share their home and their culture with such affection. They are such kind people that we inevitably built a second family that I will always hold in my heart. I recommend this experience to anyone willing to work hard. In your free time, you can explore the beautiful highlands.
