This was our first Workaway experience so it took us a little while to get used to the concept of sharing time with another family. Sonia and Graham were very well organised and have a great business which keeps everyone busy. We were very well fed with fresh produce and had plenty of opportunity to explore the fantastic surrounding area.

(Very good )

I learnt so much from their way of living and working and the dinner conversations were always thought shapers. They know a lot about healthy lifestyle and it is… read more

Sam fitted in with our family perfectly. Sam had self motivation with a very pleasant personality, She was also honest and reliable with good time keeping. Sam needed no supervision ( quite unusual in a workaway) you could set her a task knowing it would be completed to a high standard.
Sam was also very willing and capable in helping cook the… read more

That is the word I would describe the six weeks I worked with Sonia and Graham with. Honestly, I don’t know where to begin to describe my stay.

An incredible place... Located near the famous Loch Ness, Sonia and Graham’s glamping site is placed in the peacefulness of Scotland‘s most beautiful nature. They have a pretty upside down house… read more
