A few years ago, I moved into an old farmhouse with a converted steading, currently used as holiday lets but gradually evolving into a retreat and healing space. While the house is fully livable with modern appliances, there’s still plenty to do in terms of upkeep, maintenance, and improvements.

Moray is a magical place. I am sincerely grateful for the slice of life I've shared with Ruth and Roxy at the cottages in rural Scotland! Every day is different, the tasks are varied and there are exciting activities to pursue after wrapping up work. Ruth puts in a lot of effort to make the experience more culturally immersive, memorable, filled without colorful conversation and nourishing meals. I'm grateful for my time here and would definitely love to visit again!

What a wonderful place to volunteer! This was my first world packers experience and it has set my expectations very high! Ruth and Roxy are so welcoming and generous. I felt supported, nourished and present during my time at the guest house. Ruth's dedication to prioritise our experience was incredible. She took us out to see surrounding towns and landmarks as well as engaging in community activities such as the stramash and spending time at the leisure centre. The atmosphere truly is spectacular and I am so grateful for the experience!

I am so grateful that my first volunteering experience was with Ruth and Roxy. Ruth is such a kind and warm-hearted that you immediately feel at home with her. And on top of that, she makes the best healthy meals! And Roxy is just the fluffiest dog ever 🥹. Ruth showed me so many beautiful places around the Highlands, and not even the rain could stop us from exploring the area together. I'm really grateful that I got to meet another volunteer. It was so nice to spend time together and learn from each other's cultures. I especially loved exchanging and cooking our traditional food! 🍲

The time I spent with Ruth and Roxy was amazing. As she says, this is an exchange experience for both, but you have to work hard to earn things. Ruth is an incredible woman, you can see her dedication to making your stay enjoyable, as well as visiting wonderful places of Scotland. When being in a foreign and unknown place, it is really difficult to feel you belong in it, but Ruth's welcomeness makes you feel like home. I am grateful I took part in this experience, not only to help but also to grow as a person. I can't express with words how thankful I am, this will always be a part of me <3

The guest house was an absolutely gorgeous place to stay, and Ruth's home was really welcoming. I had a really good time getting to know Ruth and Roxy and I could feel Ruth's passion for the area, we got to see so much. For a first volunteering experience, I feel like I have learnt loads that I will take with me into the future. Thank you Ruth :D
