The Experience

We are a small independent hostel in the stunning Loch Ness region of the Scottish Highlands. We have 39 beds, a great bar with over 30 Scottish beers, and a really friendly atmosphere. We LOVE having volunteers come and work with us, and being part of our hostel family for a few weeks or months, and our online reviews demonstrate just how important the team is to our reputation. They all seem to love being here too, so we're thrilled!

My time at the hostel was an amazing adventure. I met so many wonderful people and got to explore a lot of beautiful places (although I have to admit, getting around without a car can be a bit difficult). The work itself was simple, and the atmosphere was always relaxed, friendly, and felt like a little family. Patrick and Nikki really care about making sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. I will definitely never forget my time in the Scottish Highlands! 💚

I loved my stay in the highlands at the hostel! It was my first volunteer experience. Drum is a very small village so I would take that into consideration of you are thinking about going to the highlands, but people are very very nice, you can get to a lot of places with the bus and the landscapes are spectacular!. The work in the hostel was fair in exchange for what you get, and Nikki and Patrick were very welcoming, approachable and very easy to reach ! Would 100% recommend!

I had an amazing time here !! I felt right at home in the hostel. We had a great team and I loved spending my evenings with the other volunteers. The amount of work is very reasonable. We had plenty of time to explore the Highlands and I've completely fallen in love with the area. ((considering moving fr)) It's very easy to hitchhike everywhere around. The locals are very kind and welcoming. Don't be put off by the requirement for long-term availability; you'll want to extend anyway ;) Thank you again for everything !! I can't wait to come back. <3 See you very very soon ! :)

Your review has made me so happy, Mathilde - this is everything we hope our volunteers will take away from their experience here :-) See you again soon, I hope!!

This was my first volunteering experience and it was completely mind blowing! Definitely beginner friendly, Patrick and Nikki were awesome, same as other volunteers with me. I had such a fun time there, practising communication skills, a lot of free time to explore and meet locals AND other travellers staying in the hostel. I can't describe how much I would recommend this volunteering job. Would come back anytime! <3 thank you so much xo

It was my first time volunteering and was totally amazing, Patrick and Nikki were so welcoming from day one and I always felt included, the work was clear and pretty easy to do, not too hard or too much. Patrick and Nikki were always checking in and helping when needed and the other volunteers were great. I enjoyed the many walking trails you can take from the hostel and the general calmness of the town, overall a great experience that I 100% recommend
