Karen and Elaine are incredible hosts and we feel very lucky to have stayed with them. Their expectations are extremely fair compared to what they provide. They are extremely well organised and thoughtful in their approach and the location is super handy to public transport and a stones throw to Glasgow.

Karen and Elaine were excellent hosts and are very lovely people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them. The hours and type of work expected are more than fair. Karen was very organised with showing us our tasks and providing the equipment which was very appreciated as it made it a smooth process. Their place is also not far from Glasgow which made exploring easy. Would highly recommend this WorldPackers experience.

Karen and Elaine welcomed us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed. The tasks were exactly as agreed—clear, fair, and well organized. You can really feel their care in everything they do. The cabin was a dream: small, cozy, and fully equipped. Being surrounded by nature, waking up to birdsong, and having the river nearby was incredibly grounding. Charlie, their cat, would visit us now and then, and on our last day she showed up like she came to say goodbye—small things that stay with you. This is a beautiful place to reconnect with nature, explore the area, and feel at home. :)

Karen and Elaine were truly wonderful hosts, always attentive, kind, and genuinely concerned about our comfort throughout the stay. They provided everything we needed to carry out our daily tasks with ease and were always respectful of all the agreements we had. Beyond just a stay, the whole experience was deeply enriching and contributed significantly to my personal growth. The place itself is beautiful, peaceful, and full of good energy. We're incredibly grateful and definitely hope to return in the future. Highly recommended.

Karen and Elaine were great hosts! They have a good system set in place and you can tell they've put great thought behind it. The hours you work are very fair, the hut they provide has everything you would need and they also leave a good amount of food for you in the hut. I definitely recommend staying here!

Our stay at Botlynbank was truly an awesome experience! Karen and Elaine were extremely welcoming and fun to chat with! The work and the hours are extremely fair and doable which leaves you lots of time to explore Glasgow. The train station is about a 20 minute walk from the accommodations but it is an easy walk that goes by quick! My favorite part of the stay was the accommodations! The hut is so cozy and has everything you will need for a great stay.

I don't even know where to start! ❤️ My experience at the guest house was absolutely amazing! Elaine and Karen are the most amazing, genuine, beautiful people and they treated me like another family member from the start! The cottage is beautiful and in Avery convenient location! The two pups Milly and Snooky are adorable and the Cats Cheeky, Charlie❤️ and Solo are also very cute! I was their first volunteer ever so there was a lot of work to do when I first got there from building roofs to painting and everything in between. I loved it and I now have a new family in Scotland! Thank you❤️

Karen y Elaine fueron muy amables todo el tiempo. Las tareas eran sencillas y los tiempos acordados se cumplieron. El lugar es hermoso y muy acogedor, las anfitrionas te brindan todo lo que necesitas para tu estadía. Después de hacer las tareas del día, podés salir a caminar o en bici en los distintos senderos que hay. Super recomendado y si tengo la posibilidad, volvería nuevamente. Muchas gracias Karen y Elaine 🫶🏽🙌🏽
