Here's a more natural and polished version in English, keeping your warm and personal tone: Skriving It was a pleasure to spend some time in Scotland with David, even though my stay was short. The work was more than fair, and he was kind enough to show me around on his motorbike. Peebles is a small but really beautiful town, with lovely cafés and great walking paths. I especially enjoyed our conversations over dinner. And to top it all off, he has the two most beautiful dogs ever! 🐶❤️

David was just lovely! Not much to say about this stay except that it was perfect.
But be aware if you have problems with sanitary facilities. The lavatory flush does not work properly but that wasn’t much of a problem to me! I loved the two dogs and I got my own room! Kitchen was always accessible, as was the washing machine.

Can really recommend! Thanks David!🫶🏻

The toilet flush didn't ever not work it was just slow to fill in one of the toilets. However the fill valve has been replaced and fills up now more quickly.

I had an amazing time staying with David. I felt so comfortable around him and at his place. David is a very kind person, has a great heart and listens to you, whenever you need a good advice. The yoga classes were great, something I was really looking forward to every week! You have to da lot around the garden and the house, so don't be afraid of getting work done ;). But that's what makes it so nice, seeing what you have achieved after a day of working is a great thing! Loved it in Peebles with David, Archie and Tyne, going to miss you three!

Amazing experience surrounded by nature!
I had a wonderful time volunteering here. We had a great team atmosphere and worked together really well. My main tasks included gardening, basic construction work, and helping with general cleaning and organization.
The location is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a rewarding Worldpackers experience!

I had a great time! DC is such a wonderful host and truly generous person. He picked me up in Edinburgh and took me out for dinner, showed me all around Peebles and to such beautiful places. I really enjoyed me time here and treasure it as my introduction to Scotland <3 (Just a few notes to be aware of, the house has a lot of unfinished projects going and the toilet is very difficult to flush, along with a few other little things. If you are sensitive to mess then this may not work so well for you) Thank you so much DC for hosting me and showing me such a great time in Peebles!
