I spent just under two months at Calgary during the autumntime and loved every minute of it.

My time was divided between cafe work, scooping ice cream at Robin's Boat (which I adored) and housekeeping. During my free days, I

I absolutely loved my time at Calgary with Matthew and Julia over the summer. I was there for 3 months and wish I could have stayed forever!!

I 've just finished 6 weeks with Julia and Matthew at the cafe. The setting is beautiful - by the beach with a woodland sculpture walk from the property to the sea. If you enjoy wildlife and nature then this is a great place to visit as there is the chance of seeing otters, eagles, and deer amongst others.

Julia and Matthew were friendly and fair hosts. In advance of arriving they provided clear information about the working and living arrangements, which I appreciated and they made me feel welcome. I enjoyed the cafe work; the team which included other workawayers as well as local staff were good company too!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Spent 6 weeks at here from mid Oct to end Nov (end of season). Matthew and Julia were very friendly and welcoming, and I immediately felt part of the team.

The island is wild and rugged. Having your own vehicle would be an advantage to enable you to explore more fully. Lots of walks and wildlife.
Would definately recommend to anyone wanting to experience Island life.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

This was such an amazing experience! Calgary is the most beautiful beach/forest I've seen in Scotland. If you like the quiet and living remotely this is the place for you. I worked about 4hrs a day, 5 days a week, feeding geese, clearing pathways, cleaning rooms, and odd jobs here and there. My accommodation was a little cottage attached to the

Thank you both, I stayed for a month and could have stayed longer. I recommend :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Vom Workawayer (Matthew) für Host
I stayed two months at Calgary this July & August --- had been planning for one month, but this place was ideal for me, so I stayed on.
Calgary is a gem – the bay and woodland (and Mull in general) were a lovely place to spend the summer. Many quiet evenings walking along the bay, up in the hills etc. During the day the Calgary hub (cafe,
… read more gallery, sculpture walk) is full of activity, and Matthew & Julia (your hosts) have tremendous energy and generosity, and its brilliant to see what they have achieved here over the last thirty years. I spent about half my time here doing paid work in the cafe & holiday cottages, and half out in the woods, maintaining the paths, strimming, clearing brambles, mowing, collecting apples … odd jobs (etc) -- all good w/r/t experience, and picking up new skills.
Staying at Calgary has been a breath of fresh air, and allowed a much-appreciated time/space to walk and sit quietly. Thank you Matthew & Julia – thoroughly recommended.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
