Ce fut un plaisir d'accueillir Kirsty! Très discrète mais avec un rire contagieux et de bonnes anecdotes de son Écosse natale. Nous avons passé de très bons moments! Elle fait les tâches comme elles sont demandées et sans avoir besoin de reprendre derrière elle. Elle prend des initiatives quand elle a vu la routine de tâches quelques fois sans… read more

I spent about two months with Evelyne and her family from March to May 2023. They were very open with their home, cooked great hearty meals (Pierre-Luc!) and embraced me into their family life and events (a Quebec easter!). I was lucky enough to be with them at the end of the maple season, seeing the process from collection to jar. Being there in… read more

Julian, Vicki and Lochie were extremely welcoming hosts and I was very sad to leave! They're very open in what you're comfortable doing on the farm or in the house so you can get stuck in and have so many recommendations on what to do in the local area. Their view of Doubtless Bay is unbeatable! I hope that the wee calf fares well, and wish you… read more

Kirsty is a lovely guest and we really enjoyed having her to stay. She helped out around the house and the farm and got stuck in with any job that was going. She is a real movie buff and very interesting to talk to. We wish you all the best for the future Kirsty.

And we were very sad to see you go Kirsty so you better not stay too long away! Kirsty had a great sense of humour, quiet, interesting and independent and just gets on with whatever is happening on the croft. Fits in easily with all kinds of people who pitch up here and entertained us with interesting stories . Kirsty is a team player but also… read more

I stayed with Clare and Mike for just under a month in September 2016. Their other extremely positive reviews speak for themselves but they were a lovely couple who live in a very special place in the world. Having built their empire from scratch, there are plenty of things for you to do - gardening, cooking, building, tattie picking and egg… read more

Left by Workawayer (Kirsty) for host (Help local communities in ...)

I stayed for just under a month in July 2016. From the moment that you arrive you feel welcomed and calm, the way of life that Petra and Janez have made for themselves impacted all of the volunteers that I worked with, including myself as there was a happy, content atmosphere throughout my time there. I spent a good time reflecting on life and… read more
