I had an excellent experience staying with Tina in the Outer Hebrides. The accommodation was great, the food was excellent, and the work/board setup felt fair. I picked up some new skills and friends along the way. I would definitely recommend this opportunity to others looking for a genuine Workaway experience.

Wow, I have no idea where to begin about my most magical stay with Tina on the Isle of Lewis - The Outer Hebredies.
For me, this was a truely life changing and special time, one which I will never forget and have now made a friend for life in Tina, her friends and her family.

My work here was really varied, from helping to looking after 8 labrador pups (all know gone to great homes) to gardening, planting, cleaning her local air b&b and the house, to cooking and hanging out with the older dogs. My experience here taught me so much and my deep chats with Tina were second to none. She really became a fabulous friend to me.
The accomodation was quite simply, the most beautiful house I have every stayed in in my life (and I've travelled to over 40 countries) Waking up every morning to the most spectacular views and sitting together drinking coffee was something you only see in films. I had my own spacious bedroom with a TV and use of the rest of the house.
If you are not afraid to work hard, get stuck in, love to cook and be in nature then this is the place for you.
Tina, thanks for everything - I'll be back soon 😉Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Tina is an amazing person. She gave me the opportunity to meet two wonderful places and a lot of nice people. The first six weeks I stayed at her parents. They were so nice and active. They love sharing things, they took me to a lot of beautiful places and made me lovely meals! They made me feel at home, we had the confidence to talk about
… read more everything and joke. They taught me various recipes and I made plenty of meals to them that they always enjoyed. They made sure I had a good time and that I could rest. By that time, I have been also taking care of Tina´s dogs, 3 generations of pretty, affectionate and energetic labradors. I loved them, I really enjoyed their company and taking them for walks.
After that, I went to the Isle of Lewis with Tina to help her with Breagha´s puppies (also cleaning and tidying), best job ever. They were sooo cute! Tina´s house is amazing, she has an incredible view and the design is perfect. She has an extraordinary talent. Also, we used to go clean The Bunker when the guests were gone, another amazing place she made. Everything there was so calm and precious.
Thank you so much for everything Tina! My first Workaway experience was perfect thanks to you! I hope we will see each other again! I am always using the necklace that you gave me as a gift.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

I had a great time with Tina and Norman. I was able to work on their cottage in Portnaguran. When i arrived i was living in the backroom/kitchen and when i left they had a functioning cottage with a proper kitchen(i didn't fit it) and decorated and tiled.

The islanders are a friendly bunch and they will wave as they pass whether they know you or not. At the tail end of my stay i was joined by 2 ladies who made it more enjoyable as it was someone to talk to.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Had an amazing and quite literally a life changing experience in the Hebrides with Tina and Norman. More importantly I made friends for life and I'm dying to visit again.

Tina and Norman are lovely, great

In the evenings and weekends I would reccomend exploring the island (Reef beach was my favourite) but take up any chance you get to join Norman round the fire, and chat the night away, there's so many different stories to be heard it's really quite amazing!
10/10 would reccomend!

We couldn’t have wished for a more amazing time with them in Pitlochry. Tina & Norm provided us with the most wonderful hospitality & were so welcoming from the very start, made us feel right at home. They are super friendly, kind & caring. Nothing is to big or to small for them. We learnt so much by their side from gardening tips to new cooking recipes. We did a massive variety of jobs from cleaning to our favourite walking & caring for all the doggies.
We would higher than highly recommend volunteering with them, whether it be a couple weeks to months you would never regret it. The memories & adventures that we have taken from our time there will never be forgotten. We can’t thank Tina & Norm enough for everything they did for us.
The area itself is stunning. No matter what your into you will find something to see or do on your days off. Theres many many local hikes to the local theatre to short drives to gorgeous lochs & Glens. You will never be disappointed.
Tina, Norm the words thank you will never be enough. You all will be in our hearts forever & we can’t wait to come back over for visits & many many more cuddles.

Our accommodations were simply amazing. Whenever possible, we were able to stay in one of their holiday lodges on site which are so cozy, comfortable and fully equipped with everything we could ever need. We were also able to stay at beautiful House which was simply incredible and felt like a dream. Tina and Norm provided us with plenty of groceries to cook with and we thoroughly enjoyed the meals we shared. They are great cooks and were happy to cook vegetarian meals for us.
The work was very fair, varied and well organized. We did changeover at the lodges and Foss House, took care of the gardens, did general maintenance, cleared a new path behind one of the lodges.... Towards the end of our stay, we were happy to look after the lodges and guests on our own while Tina and Norm went on a well-deserved holiday. We were provided with a detailed schedule and everything was organized perfectly. We were always able to reach them at any time if we had any questions or concerns.
The location is simply stunning, situated between two idyllic towns. We spent several days travelling and exploring the Cairngorms, the Isle of Skye, Glencoe, Loch Ness and everything in-between.

Boy where do we start... We had the most amazing time with Tina and Norm, and honestly find it difficult to put into words the gratitude we have for the time we spent with them! We spent 6 weeks with them and for the vast majority of that we lived next door with their neighbour Annie, who is also incredibly kind. If you are dog lovers (seriously,

We were incredibly sad to say goodbye to everyone (on two and four legs). The work is quite straight forward - gardening, maintenance, cleaning the lodges/house (and a few other bits and pieces), and Tina and Norm are clear with what they want you to do/achieve each day.
Tina and Norm - thank you so much for finding us and looking after us for the time we spent together. Thank you for the many lovely nights over a delicious homemade meal with interesting conversations, thank you for sharing all of your local knowledge (even though Ben may have been relentless with the questions!!!), thank you for letting us pester the pups constantly, and most importantly, thank you for your generosity.
To Annie - thank you for putting up with us taking over the kitchen on many nights, and thank you so much for letting us stay with you!
We miss you all already and can't wait to see you again sometime hopefully in the not too distant future.

Tina and Norm also kindly invited me to do some rapid-water bugging where I sat in a bug and went through the local rapids, a really fun experience.

I met a lot of awesome people there : my co-helpers, Annie, Nic , Diana, Tina's parents and of course Tina and Norman. I did so many different activities there : kayaking, fishing, hiking, golfing, visiting a distillery and a castle, improving my english and a lot of other things. They made everything possible. A example among others : I just talked about fishing and Norman gave me some baits and drove me to the fishshop to buy a licence. Same for golfing (Norman is a very good teacher) , same for kayaking (you just have to carry them to the river). The car is a great advantage to discover the region.

They have the most wonderful pack of loving and affectionate dogs, each with their own different personalities. It was always a real pleasure to take them out for walks, as they showed us the way up the mountains and paths for the best views!
Our plentiful free time gave us the opportunity to explore the local area with its fantastic scenery. Aberfeldy and Pitlochry are 2 lovely towns, with plenty to offer visitors and tourists, from shops and restaurants to an art-deco cinema (Aberfeldy) and convivial bars.
We also met Tina's lovely parents Peter and Joan, who are good company - they kindly cooked us several delicious meals whilst we were staying with them at the main family house in Pitlochry.

If you get a chance to host Caleb grab it with both hands! His willingness to do the best job possible and his impeccable manners make him a pleasure to host. Nothing was ever too much trouble, every request answered with 'no problem' and the job just got on with. He was a little quiet at first but his confidence soon grew and he became one of the

I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to Tina and Norm for the opportunity to come and help out over the last month. They were both so welcoming and generous. The accommodations went far beyond my expectations and there was no shortage of good food in the house. The manse itself is incredible. As though pulled from the pages of history,

I hope everyone has the opportunity to experience this beautiful country, and there's no better people to experience it with than Tina and Norm. The work can be strenuous at times, but it's extremely satisfying to see the daily progress made on restoring this old home to its former glory. Martin is the resident foreman and he can be a bit intimidating at first with his Polish Special Forces background, but you'll quickly come to realize that he is a genuinely good person who has lived a far more exciting life than you or I. I don't know if there's a limit to how much I can write here, but I could fill several pages with the happy memories I have made with Tina and Norm. I'm so grateful that my first work away was with such wonderful people. If you get a chance to join them, take it. Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

He was willing to have a go at any job that needed doing and confident enough to use his own initiative to complete tasks. Rob was always great company and went out of his way to take time to speak to my elderly parents and

I had the best possible first workaway experience with Tina and Norman. I lived in a beautiful big old manse house that we were helping to renovate where we had everything we needed and then some. Tina and Norman provide plenty of supplies to cook with and the work is both interesting and rewarding. With so much to see and do around the area, this

I had an incredible time in Aberfeldy with Tina and Norman! I spent two weeks with them, helping them restore some cabins to proper condition. It was a great opportunity to learn some new skills and see the Scottish countryside. Such great hosts, they made it easy to have an awesome travel experience.
