I spent 6 weeks at Susie’s amazing property just on the outskirts of Castle Douglas. Susie however was away a lot of the time I was there visiting family and friends. While she was away I looked after the house, horses and dogs. The tasks I did varied from day to day, moving horses from the paddocks, giving the dogs long walks over fields and even… read more

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.

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!
