I will never forget my time in Scotland volunteering for Karen & Elaine! I loved working outside on their stunning property every morning. If you enjoy being active and working in nature, this is the perfect opportunity! Karen & Elaine were so communicative and accommodating. They encouraged me to explore Scotland, and were flexible with my schedule so that I had plenty of time to do so. The shepherd's hut was perfect and Lenzie felt very safe. I already miss my time there (and their sweet cat, Charlie)! I absolutely hope to go back someday. Thank you Karen & Elaine!

My volunteer experience at the guest house was interesting, pleasant & memorable. Karen and Elaine welcomed me with open arms & made me feel at home. Both were approachable, warm, generous, considerate and fair-minded. The accommodation was beautiful, spacious & very comfortable. The agreed terms were fully respected. They performed their obligations without shortcomings. Their country estate was peaceful, tranquil and uniquely beautiful. l highly recommend the guest house as a go to volunteer destination. My sincere thanks to Karen & Elaine for the opportunity. Grateful indeed!

This experience with Elaine and Karen was truly wonderful. Although I worked independently, I always felt appreciated and supported. They are exceptional hosts! kind, warm, generous, and thoughtful. From the very first day, they made me feel at home. They have such big hearts and are always willing care for their guests. I can't forget Charlie, the little kitten, who I will miss so much! I wholeheartedly recommend this opportunity. It was a meaningful and enriching experience. Thanks to the lovely environment and the amazing people I had the chance to meet. Thank you so much for everything!🩷

This was volunteering luxury, a cozy home away from home with fair and rewarding working hours, hosted by two lovely people with so much generosity and kindness. It was a beautiful place to stay, and the location is convenient for exploring Scotland's central belt. If you're lucky enough to stay here, give Charlie a kiss from us!
