The Experience

-We are a couple living in Ullapool center. We are looking for some help regarding general help maintaining our house and the garden. You will have a cabin for your own and we will provide food allowance money for you to make your meals. Each day I will tell you the activities and explain you how to do them. With the volunteering activities, we have a Slf catering cabin and if you help with the changeover, you will get paid for it.

We had a great time in this experience!
Ullapool is just stunning! Very beautiful village, isolated but surrounded by a wonderful nature! There are many walking options and also bikes and kayak for volunteers.
Work depends on the weather, sometimes harder sometimes calm but Simon is very experienced and has a lot of patience to teach us. We learned a lot!
He and his family are lovely and we felt very welcomed since the beginning
Highly appreciated and recommend :)

This time always will be in my heart,
Thank you Simon and Aileen for the great time, hope we see each other again!

We had a great time during our stay in Ullapool. It was truly a great experience and we learned a lot with Simon, who is a very experienced man and very patient when it comes to teaching volunteers. We really felt that we were both helping and learning at the same time, which made the whole experience even more rewarding. From the beginning we felt very welcome and at home, and the month went incredibly fast. Before we knew it, it was already time to leave. Thank you Simon, Eileen, wee cat, and family for everything!

I had a great time with Simon and Eileen! I learned something new everyday, working with different kinds of plantations, painting and general home maintenance. You will have a great support for everything you need, they provide weekly food allowance and the cabin for volunteers is really confortable, sometimes we had souper together and they also took me for the theater once. Ullapool is a beatiful village, people are welcome, but has limited public transportation and if you cant rent a car is very difficult to visit other places. If you are travelling alone that might be a down side for you.

Simon and Eileen are wonderful hosts, and I felt welcome from the moment I arrived. They gladly shared their knowledge and experiences. The tasks and hours were always clear, and I could try many things such as painting, gardening, woodwork, small house repairs, housekeeping, laundry, and helping on the farm. I learned something new every day. I also enjoyed walking around the peaceful village, and having my own private time and space was very helpful for my online job. Staying here is one of the best ways to experience Ullapool. Thank you so much for the amazing month and all the memories!!

Had a truly wonderful time at Tenderden the farm. It was my first time volunteering with worldpackers and Simon and Eileen were so welcoming, generous and kind, with great senses of humour! I felt very taken care of. They were very adaptable to my needs relating to injury, also doing things like very kindly altering work schedules so I could do some sightseeing in more ideal weather! I thoroughly enjoyed helping out in their lovely garden, and spending time with them in general.
