Informationen

Beschreibung
Artist and writer's home in a large historic 18th century country house, with beautiful gardens set in extensively wooded grounds with a stream, close to popular village near Loch Ness, Highlands of Scotland. Non-smokers, cat lovers. We are friendly, well travelled and offer a warm welcome by a roaring open fire. We muddle along in a few languages and enjoy helping anyone who wants to improve their English. Every season is a beautiful time in the Highlands with the forests and the glens changing colour: current projects include internal and external cleanup, repair and redecoration, major garden maintenance, preparation, planting, some tree pruning, log splitting and maybe some garden structural alterations. We like cooking, are part time vegetarians and love it when workaway guests cook.

Vom Workawayer (Eloi) für Host

I initially approached Neville and Jane on workaway, intending to stay for a few weeks... but I ended up spending 7 months with them, it truly was an unique and life-changing experience! My situation was special, I ended up being a studio assistant and artist in residency, more than a workaway, which also explains the length of my stay, but I can… read more

Vom Workawayer (Giorgia) für Host

Neville and Jane are two lovely people, welcoming, intelligent, caring.
I went there not sure of how long I would stay, and I ended up staying for nearly two months.
And now, that I left their house, I miss them and the other nice workawayer a lot. And how forget the two cats?
While I was there we had trips together to visit some places in that… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Giorgia)

Giorgia brings cheery laughter, singing and impressive touch of Italian cuisine to her Workaway visits. She stayed nearly two months and worked with tremendous enthusiasm and dedication to help paint and redecorate several rooms. An intelligent, caring and ebulliant individual, she is certain to be welcomed wherever she goes.

Diana and Nahuel were the perfect couple, oganised, lively, energetic, and likeable. They showed great skill and determination achieving many tasks indoors and out, but most importantly were also good company and fun.

Vom Workawayer (Madlena ) für Host

Neville and Jane are incredible, lovable and interesting people. To be part of their daily life in their house full of charm and history for 2 weeks was just magical. They had fun learning English. Neville always has an interesting story to tell, and is always ready to bring information about the history of the region. Jane is adorable and an… read more

Madlena is a charming sweet girl, who was a pleasure to have staying and great help around the home and studio. We enjoyed helping with English and stretching our French. Madlena was eager, efficient considerate, personable at all times, and was a splendid cook!

Vom Workawayer (Jessica) für Host

This was my first Workaway. Although unfortunately I had to cut my time short (due to a sudden paid work opportunity) I had a lovely week with Neville and Jane. Their house is full of character and history (and two friendly cats), and the views of Loch Ness are amazing! It was really interesting to learn about what life is like in the area, and… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Jessica)

Jessica was a wonderful Workaway guest who threw herself into helping in numerous ways - not afraid of getting down to hard graft, taking the initiative, and coming up with helpful ideas. Such a shame she was called away too soon, but such is the life of a professional singer/songwriter that a new gig beckoned. We wish her luck and hope to see her… read more
