I really enjoyed my stay with Char, get to get along with her and also meet really nice friends .
The house is amazing, the work is not hard and around the house you can do all the walking that you want. You just have to read again all the information when you apply so you can understand most of the rules.

I enjoyed my stay at the guest house. Everything was exactly as stated in the application and straight forward. The work was pretty easy once you learn how everything goes. Ms. Charlotte is a great person once you get to know her, she is direct and willing to answer questions.

Sierra Just want to say a big thank you for all your help which was really appreciated. You have a great attitude to life and that came through in how you takled the tasks set. I hope you have a great time with your dad when you meet up in Rome, and then go on to visit Poland. Once you get to Ireland for your next Worldpacker adventure please do keep in touch and remember you will be welcome back here anytime. You take care now and see you again sometime?

I enjoyed my time at the guest house and feel so grateful for the friends I made during my month stay 💚 Drumnadrochit is beautiful with lots to explore. The work is easy and satisfying. Owing to the manner of Charlotte's communication style I would unfortunately not suggest this as an experience for someone not confident in themselves. If you cannot handle criticism, being talked to bluntly and at times with condescension this is not for you. It is a shame as Charlotte can be very generous and kind, concerned about volunteers plans and offering help.
I enjoyed my time and all I learnt.

No problem pitty you might not have taken on board (before accepting) my detailed profile i.e. direct, assertive, very clear about tasks, try to re-establish that withwhatsapp video calls to ensure the correct choices are made, our volunteers know what will be expected and provided. keep to my promises, provide all I say & more, expect the same in return instead of tasks failing to meet standards set which upset me construed by you as a souce of negativity to comment on later, Good luck Kate

Staying at Kilmicheal was a great opportunity! The work was very manageable and the rooms were very nice. Charlotte can be a bit frustrating at times but is generally easy to work with and ensures you are well taken care of.

I stayed during the off season for about a month. The work was fair and straightforward, though there was not much to do at this time of the year. The area is beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed the loch and the walks nearby. The accommodation was comfortable and having three meals provided each day was very nice. Meal times would vary quite a bit and you wouldn't know when dinner would be until she texted that it was ready which made it difficult to manage your free time at night (but still very very generous). She is particular and will be very direct with you.

I stayed with Charlotte in the off-season so there was not much work to be done. The few tasks that were asked of me were not difficult and did not take much time. Charlotte does require things to be done in specific ways and she was very straightforward about her expectations - if you are someone that struggles with corrections this experience may not be a good fit for you. The accommodations and meals are very generous, but there is not a set schedule so meal times do differ day to day. When Charlotte was able to she took us around a few towns in the highlands which was lovely.

I had a wonderful time at the guest house! Everything was exactly what Charlotte had described, and the meals were absolutely fantastic. There's lots of beautiful areas for hiking, and Charlotte was always willing to give us a lift into Inverness when she was headed in. She also took us on outings to other areas of Scotland, was always willing to answer any of my questions, and tell me her stories about growing up in Scotland. Charlotte is direct in her instructions, but she really cares about her volunteers! This experience was a dream come true, and I hope to be able to return soon :)

Aysa So sorry I missed the review deadline as you know due to a very recent family bereavement so my mind was somewhat engaged elsewhere recently. However, I found your participation here just like your previous visit and once again found you to be really helpful, friendly, willing to tackle any tasks willingly and with great attitude and I am pleased you are going to be returning again in 2026.
I hope you have great Christmas with your family and looking forward to your returning in January.

Charlotte is a very caring person. She made us delicious and filling meals. She is great to chat with and learn from. The accommodation is clean, spacious, and really comfortable. Drumnadrochit is in a beautiful area surrounded by trees and rolling hills. It has great hiking trails. It is a fun touristy town with greats pubs and an awesome fish and chips place. There are also a nearby hostel and bnb where you can meet other volunteers. Inverness is close by and Charlotte will happily give you a ride there when she is going into town. Overal,l it was truly an amazing experience.

My experience in the guest house was truly wonderful. From day one, I felt welcomed and surrounded by peace and nature. I discovered a beautiful, charming village and had the chance to enjoy, learn, and grow throughout my stay. Charlotte made everything even more special. She was kind, supportive, and always attentive—offering fun plans, lovely outings, and constant help with anything I needed. Her warmth made me feel completely at home. I leave with great memories, valuable lessons, and deep gratitude. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something meaningful and authentic.
