I volunteer as a Kitchen porter in the host and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had, all the staff make u feel like a Family, I was during all summer season and even when it got harder you can always get along with everyone there, I truly recommend being part of it at least once in the life in any position available, if you're good with people you'll find a little family here

Our stay at Roundstone was amazing. Working with Margaret was such a pleasure, she was kind and friendly, very fair with working hours, providing us with flexibility to work morning or afternoon and do day trips/ activities in between. The accommodation was well equipped, clean and comfortable for two people. The food (cook yourself) was nutritious, with Margaret providing fresh fruit, veggies, protein, carbs etc. We were able to borrow a kayak, gear to fish with and Margaret was kind enough to drive us to see amazing sights in the area. the host staff are super friendly and so is Daisy.

Volunteering in the kitchen taught me more than work and English. It showed me the value of patience, adaptation, and teamwork under pressure. In Roundstone, despite the challenges, I found a welcoming environment where respect and support made learning possible. I am grateful to the team and especially to Nicholas for his patience and kindness. This experience reminded me that volunteering is about caring, respecting, and growing together.

Thank you, Sasha, Buda, Rui, Tony, and Anna.

I will miss you all! ❤️

My stay at the host was incredible. The team was very welcoming, friendly and easy to get in touch with. Also Nicolas and Margaret were helpful and showed me everything I needed to know. The environment was heartfelt and openminded.
Nicolas really made sure I feel comfortable in my room and with the work I was doing, in addition he is open to compromises.
Roundstone is a small village, for more action I would go there in summertime, but if you are looking for a getaway to connect with yourself it's best to be there off season.

Thank you, for this unforgettable month.
I'll be back! :)
