Portsonachan Hotel & Lodges
When you're off, you can explore endless hiking trails, visit nearby lochs and castles, or just sit back with a warm drink and enjoy the view of the hills and changing skies ☕🌥️🏰.
Hospitality here is all about warmth, stories, and sharing simple pleasures. We offer a family-style atmosphere where you’ll be valued not just for your help, but for the energy and spirit you bring 🤗💛. You’ll leave with new memories, connections, and maybe even a few Scottish expressions!

About the experience in: Dalmally, United Kingdom
France
I gave it one star because I can't give it a 0, but that star goes to the few staff members who are friendly especially Oliver because it was the only one who cared about how it was all going. I can't explain everything here, but the main thing to remember is that the owners aren't very friendly and won't speak to you. The place is really filthy: everything is dirty, from the rooms to the laundry room to the hallways. What made me cut my stay short was mainly the fact that my room was so dirty, but also the fact that there really wasn't much of an atmosphere there. If you have any question ask

Eleanore, I am sorry you were unhappy at Portsonachan. We are a dog friendly resort and a tree staff members have dogs and are allowed to bring them to work, perhaps you should mention you are afraid of dogs. Please do not send any more messages regarding Oliver, if he hasn’t contacted you, please accept he is not interested. If you come to the UK to improve your English - then please accept not everyone speaks French

The staff and other volunteers were amazing people and I'm so glad I met them. Everyone was really accommodating and helped me out all the way. They really completed my trip.
I had a really nice room with a bathroom and the breakfast, lunch and dinner were all served.
The work was quite straightforward and I was told what to do and the instructions were simple to follow.

I was thankful that I stayed this place. I was thought about self isolation. Why people want to stay at where surrounded nature away from civilization. I could feel that happiness comes from concentration of your life where not enclosed complicate society. That kind of place makes you more focusing on yourself and your life much. Some people could be felt the hotel is boring, but here provides you become more mature. That kind of place.

Great experience with wonderful people, fair work shift and nice warm meals suited for vegetarian too. What's more is every volunteer has their own private room. The remote location surrounded by picturesque Scottish nature makes it perfect place to disconnect from hectic routine and recharge so highly recommended to hiker and nature lover. Thanks so much for such a peaceful and memorable stay!

Loved my time at the hotel! I was based in housekeeping, so tasks primarily consist of changing beds and cleaning rooms, tidying lochside/ the hotel and looking after the laundry. Was really great getting to know the paid staff and volunteers in the kitchen/ maintenance, we all clicked really well together! the hotel is definitely off the grid, so be prepared for lots of downtime (actually really relaxing by the loch!) and 3 quality meals daily. 3 days off per week, so it's worth taking a trip to Oban/ other surrounding areas. Thanks for a great stay, Port team!
