The guest house was a fantastic stay for my partner and I. The work was straightforward, physical in a good way and communicated well from Karen in the mornings. We always knew what needed to be done - if it was raining we would be cutting wood under shelter. The location of the stay was perfect for exploring Glasgow, Edinburgh and Stirling, with only a 20 minute walk to the local station. We loved the shepherds hut, with its own kitchen, bathroom, bed and TV - it was cozy. The bonus was having their cat Charlie come and stay every night, she's a real sweetie. Thank you to Karen and Elaine!

We had a wonderful time volunteering at the guest house. Karen and Elaine are lovely hosts and always made sure we had everything we needed. The work itself was rewarding and the hours very well respected. It was mostly yard work and gardening, or wood chopping when it was raining. It's in a great location, 20 minute walk to the Lenzie train station which has great rail connections to Glasgow central (10 mins), Edinburgh (40 mins) and Stirling (20 mins). So you'll have a great time exploring! Thanks so much to Karen and Elaine, and of course Charlie, the resident cat :)

My experience at the guest house was one of the best experiences I have had during my travels. Karen, Elaine, and Charlie welcomed me with incredible kindness, respect, and warmth, making me feel part of their home, not just a volunteer. Helping with gardening and improving the guest house was a pleasure, but the best part was the people: the conversations, the trust, and the freedom to explore Scotland. the guest house feels like a real home surrounded by nature. I would have stayed much longer if I could. Thank you for the memories. I would happily return if I have the chance.

My stay at the guest house with Karen and Elaine was a very rewarding experience. The work was simple and always related to gardening, which meant being constantly connected with nature. During my free time, I was able to explore Glasgow and the surrounding areas, and the natural landscapes there are truly incredible. It was also very comforting to fall asleep listening to the sound of the river. On top of that, Karen and Elaine were always attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. So I 100% recommend giving this experience a try. Ps: Charlie, the host cat, was the perfect companion heh

It was one of the best experiences that I had here in Worldpackers! Karen and Elaine are just amazing, it was such a relaxing and fun time. The place is amazing, they provide food for you to cook, you have your own hut and the job is very chill, you can do it and enjoy the rest of the day. I really like it and hope to come back to visit!
