Laissé par le workawayer (Junling) pour l'hôte
It was my first workaway experience, and it turned out to be a perfect one! Shane and Mack are such friendly hosts with kind hearts. They treated me with equality and respect, and their kids, Sammy and Rosie, are so cute—I love playing with them. I stayed there for 23 days, and we had a lot of great memories together.
I learned a lot about making
… read more Scottish desserts, and I also showed them how to cook some Chinese dishes, they were always enthusiastic and appreciative.
The work I need to do is simple and reasonable, I had a plenty of time for my own, I read many cookbooks, and rode a bike to explore nearby places( The landscape was breathtaking!).
They even took me to the Lairg Crofter Show, which was such an amazing Scottish experience I had never had before. There were Scottish dances, bagpipes, horses, sheep, sheepdog herding ducks and fun children’s races at the show.
Life at the inn was so peaceful and quiet, I came across new things everyday and never felt bored—time flew by so quickly that I didn’t realize that my stay was coming to an end.
If I have the chance I would definitely love to come back and stay with them again. Thank you so much, Shane and Mack, I wish you all the best!Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Junling)
Junling was such a delight as a Workaway placement. She was always eager to help, learn more about Scottish culture, and even teach us some Chinese recipes. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to help was such a great benefit to us this summer. We will miss her and hope she visits again one day.

Gill was an absolute amazing person to have at our Inn and in our home. Gill provides a cheerful, can-do attitude, a willingness to learn, and a keen skill of baking and cooking. She provided great conversation and was a delight to have! We hope Gill will return and she would be welcome any time! If Gill is interested in Workawaying with you, let

Mae was a gem! She was an encouragement to us and even to our neighbors. A very helpful, self starter who we enjoyed becoming friends with over the course of her stay.

Val was such a help to us, but so much more than just help. She has a great attitude and willingness to learn. Val is now a dear friend we look forward to seeing again soon.

Cam was a delight to have at our Inn. He went the extra mile to help us out during a very busy season. He provided great company to our family and we look forward to seeing our friend again one day.

I stayed for the month of August 2023 and absolutely loved it. Shane and Mac were themselves new to the inn and Scotland when I got there, and we had a blast navigating the isolation, the dreaded highland midge and meeting/hosting some very interesting (and some very strange) visitors. The work was very reasonable, the food hearty and plentiful
… read more and the craic endless. I spent my free time hiking the beautiful surroundings, failing at hitchhiking, learning about whiskey, chatting with the guests and cosied up next to the fireplace with a book from the library. I even snapped some photos of the northern lights in the middle of August! I had a great time with this lovely family and I really hope to return to this beautiful part of the world some day to see them again.Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

My time at the Inn was amazing!
I only stayed for a short period, but I am really thankful for this experience. The Inn is ideal for a peaceful getaway in the Scottish Highlands. I worked mainly in the evenings for 5-hour shifts, allowing me to explore the stunning surroundings during the day.
The household is very lovely (including Meggie, the

Even though I've spent some time in Scotland before, I got a better taste of the local cuisine. Not to mention the fantastic desserts!
An outstanding Workaway!
Thank you so much, Shane and Mack! I hope all goes well. xVous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Callum was a willing worker who was willing to turn his hand to anything , a great asset to the team. Always smiling and often singing. Great to have around.

Our first workaway experience and I'm not sure it can be rivalled. We were immediately made to feel like one of the family. Denise and Douglas are warm and friendly hosts with sunny dispositions and cracking banter. The caravan accommodation was bigger than we expected, with everything we could possibly need. The work is easy and can be as varied
… read more as you like! Unpacking the dishwasher/pot washing in the morning and helping with dinner service in the evening is the norm but there were a couple of summer mornings spent picking blackcurrants and stripping the beds instead. The hours left us a big chunk of free time in the day to explore the BEAUTIFUL surroundings, travel in to Lairg (15 mins away), up to Tongue, Ullapool, Dornoch and much more.
Denise and Douglas always make sure you have your breakfast, which can range from home made muesli (which we got to make ourselves once) to bacon butties! We made ourselves lunch most days and got to pinch a few home made scones here and there (with clotted cream and jam, of course).
Dinner is a treat! Douglas is an amazing cook and every night we got a terrific home cooked restaurant quality meal. Paneer saag, venison casserole, lasagne, chicken jalfrezi, and of course haggis, neeps and tatties, to name a few favourites.
The desserts were incredible as well - thanks again for the sticky toffee pudding recipe and all the brownies!
You will meet other fun and interesting travellers whilst you stay here and maybe even make a friend or two. An experience like this is rare and we feel so lucky to have had it.
The remotest inn in Britain, the best hospitality in the world. See you again soon!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Anthony fitted in well the Inn family and was a willing worker , he took advantage of the opportunities to explore the area, speak with guests and learn new skills, was punctual , polite and accommodating. It was a pleasure having him stay with us

I had an amazing time at this inn.
The work was simple and fair. Restaurant work with some gardening. Also lots of chatting with guests, which was fun and engaging. Denise , Douglas and the other staff were very welcoming and I felt one of the family.
The static was perfectly supplied and I had dinner with the hosts which was amazing. They are

I can't thank Denise and Douglas (+ Brandy, their dog !) enough for their warm welcome at the Inn during these 2 weeks. I felt like a part of the family.
If you are looking for a quiet remote place with stunning views just by looking out the window, this is the perfect place. You may also see deers from very close ! There is plenty of beautiful

The work was fair. I mainly did cleaning but also did a bit of restauration services and learned to bake wonderful brownies and caramel slices. You won't be disappointed by the food prepared by Douglas, always very yummy.
I would 100 % recommanded this workaway if you want to be in a friendly remote place and meet wonderful people !Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.
