This was my first experience volunteering in a hostel and I couldn't pick a better place. The task were easy and you had plants of time in the afternoon. Dave and Danni were great and made me feel super comfortable. Overall I really enjoyed this experience. Definitely gonna do it again

I had an amazing time in the hostel and can only recommend this experience!! Dave and Danni are both very lovely, funny and take good care of the volunteers (sweet treats included ;D). The work was easy, working hours were always respected and the workload wasn't too much, so you will have enough time to explore the small town, the beautiful nature in the surrounding area and other parts of Scotland, or you can just chill or get to know other people in the cozy lounge.
