Susie is such an amazing host, I encourage anyone thinking about staying with her to definitely go for it. There was plenty to do - whether it's animal-care, riding horses, pet-sitting, working in the garden or cooking a great meal. In her home there's also great books to read, walks to go on and a nice river to swim in (to name a few activities).… read more

Susie was a good host! She picked me up at the bus stop and took me to her home.
We usually worked in the morning with the horses, ponies, chickens.
We went a couple of times to different towns as she had things to do there, giving me the opportunity to explore! Other times I went on my own with the car that she kindly allowed me to use.

Everything about my 3 week stay at Susie’s was wonderful. Her house is amazing, the location & surrounding areas are breathtakingly beautiful & her animals are just so sweet. I miss my little shadow Lupin & the other girls, all lovely dogs. And the wildlife, red squirrels & birds!

I stayed with Susie just for 5 days filling in the gap between the next workawayer coming. It was a nice opportunity to meet new lovely people, see different lifestyle in different part of Scotland, meet the horses and ever so friendly dogs and stay in a victorian house. I was grateful for this opportunity and would come back any time.

Hannah came at the last minute for only 5 days but she was a huge help with my horses and dogs. She also helped with clearing up after a storm which left us without power or the internet. She helped clear a derelict house and cooked delicious meals. I will miss her greatly!

Natasha and Rachel were a great help during their stay in the middle of the corona crisis. They looked after the animals, gardened and Rachel did some wonderful cooking especially jams and pickles! They were left in charge for 3 weeks when I went away and I had no worries about leaving home. It was fun having them in my home.

Rosa and Pablo were absolutely amazing. They came 2 months after my husband had died unexpectedly and after I had broken my neck. They could not have been nicer or more helpful. They took complete charge for of my house and animals when I went to London and Windsor for his memorial service. They stayed here for 16 weeks due to the Corona virus.… read more

The type and duration of work varied from day to day. In the first half of our stay we helped a little bit more in and around the house: we did some cooking, were in charge of the dishes,… read more

It was exactly as described in the profile - we were welcomed into the family, there were long days, but the jobs were varied, often fun and never hard. We were given time and a car in the… read more
