This was the most amazing experience. Isla, Paul, Shaw and Cola are the absolute best - we would have stayed even longer if we could have. This was a home away from home and i'd recommend it to anyone xxx

Quila Cridhe was simply a home away from home. Isla and Paul are an incredible couple who are interested in you and where you come from! Our experience with the highland cows was something I'll treasure forever. I would go back in a heartbeat.

What an amazing experience it was to stay with Isla and Paul, they both made me feel apart of the family and was like a home away from Home. Everyday was enjoyable and the banter was impeccable which helped to get though a tough day. Would highly recommend staying with Isla especially if it's your first time with Worldpackers as I couldn't fault this place at all and felt safe in every way.

Isla and Paul are the best! They have a beautiful family and property, I felt comfortable almost instantly! They are very generous and helpful people, were always there to help when I needed some support. I am grateful for the rewarding time I was lucky enough to spend with them. The work can be stressful at times like in any food service environment, but they were always patient and understanding whenever I struggled. The town is quite small, but there are plenty of hiking trails within walking/bus distance which I enjoyed a lot! There is also a hostel nearby with other volunteers!

I had the most amazing time the guest house! Isla and Paul were extremely welcoming and made me feel like apart of the family from the first day. They have the kindest hearts and always made sure i was comfortable and were always up for a chat. The work is straight forward but fast paced, the workday is full of laughs and the best treats. The bedroom was very spacious and overlooked the fields. The village is quite small but there's plenty of buses into inverness. I am so grateful for the kindness that isla and paul showed me over my 6 weeks here and cannot wait to come back!
