Laissé par le workawayer (Ida) pour l'hôte
I stayed with the family for five weeks. On my first day Liv schowed me everything about the daily animal routine which quickly developed to one of my favourite parts of the day. I spent a lot of my time outside with, weeding, sanding and painting the window frames and windows sills. They taught me how to bake bread, to plant nice flowerbeds and I

In the evenings we often played card games together and the food was just amazing! I enjoyed myself immensely and felt welcome right from the start and I definitely felt valued for the work I did. Liv and George are very committed to constantly developing themselves as hosts and actively seek feedback, which I really appreciated (but it particularly wasn't necessary because you're doing an amazing job!)
Thank you for this incredibly energizing experience!Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Ida)
Ida slotted into the family like we had known her for years. She quickly understood the routine of the animals and was dilligent in her duties.

Rachel and Anna were with us for a few days to get to know the house and the animals and then they house sat for a week then they were with us for a few days after as well.

Fer stayed just a short time with us but was thrown in the deep end - literally! We took her paddleboarding. She was great fun, kind and used her initiative. She was happy and willing to turn her hand to any task asked of her and we thoroughly enjoyed her company during her time with us. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the future.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (James & Hannah)
Hannah and James are a whirlwind of energy, skills, experience, ideas. It was a joy to host them. It was clear they had plenty of skills to share so we let them work on projects that suited them and their schedules. They definitely went over and above at times too putting in longer hours that we expected. Hannah had experience with horses so we

What was going to start as a short stay turned into 2 fun months of fitting in with the family. Liv and George were very flexible and accepting of our travel and were more than happy for us to stay longer than originally expected.
During our time with them we completed lots of garden projects, tree removal, fire wood, painting and attempted some
… read more joinery. We enjoyed daily walks with the dog after delicious home cooked meals and enjoyed honing our bread skills. We loved sharing our knowledge of animals, soil and general outdoor tasks.
Liv and George allowed lots of autonomy and self direction with tasks, we made a number of suggestions and they were happy for us to crack on. We typically worked longer days but this was by choice and by no means expected.
By the end of our stay we had become good friends and look forward to staying in touch as Seaview house and everyone in it continues to develop and grow,
all the very best Hannah and James (NZ backpackers)Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Léa is a wonderful kind and calm person who is lovely company to have in the home. She helped with the ponies and numerous other tasks and did everything in an efficient and helpful way.

Eimeen arrived at a time when the house was quite busy but she immediately got stuck in with the ponies. It was lovely having her stay and share her culture with us. She is very calm and gentle and bring a very peaceful atmosphere with her. We were lucky to have her and hope her all the best in the rest of her travels.

Wiebke was amazing, incredible- there are not enough words! She arrived and it felt like we’d known her all our lives. She’s bright funny clever and competent.

I wish her the very best in the future and am so glad she’s now teaching as she has such a genuine skill in this area. We will stay in touch and hope she visits again. Our door is always open.

I spent almost one month with Liv, George, Buck, Lily and Iris and I had a great time. They are wonderful people and make you feel very welcome. I loved the farm with all the animals and the nature around. My tasks were for example poo-pickinging, feeding the animals or doing some painting in the house. I also spent a few days alone with the kids
… read more and cared for them during that time, which was a lot of fun. We played lots of games together or did some crafting. They are very creative, independent and easy to entertain. I spent my freetime exploring the nature around the farm or going to Ayr and the beach. I also joined the family on a few trips, e.g. to have a picknick at the lake or go swimming at the beach which was very nice. Thank you so much for everything!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Spending these months with Liv, George and the children was one of the best experiences I have ever had. From the first moment they made me feel at home, so much so that when I talk about them I call them my 'Scottish family'. The work is very varied and flexible, partly outside and partly in the house. Their house is in a fantastic location,

Liv and George are friendly, funny and intelligent and conversations with them are always very pleasant. The children are energetic and very kind, always motivated to help me improve my English. I hope we will always stay in touch !!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.

Elis has stayed with us for a couple of months and has been a wonderful edition to the family.
She has been happy to turn her hand to anything we have asked be it looking after animals, painting, gardening. She is a kind and funny person who is a pleasure to have around. She has helped out with the kids and looked after the property independently

The family stayed for just over 2 weeks and what a joy it was to have them visit! The kids joined in at the local primary with my younger two for the last week of summer term and thoroughly enjoyed it. Getting stuck in with all the games and classes.
Ségolène was just a marvel in the garden and weeded the beds beautifully. Mathieu was equally

Their two boys were polite and interesting and played very well with our three of similar ages. It was very sad to have to say goodbye but I have no doubt we have made real friends and will see them again.
We would happily welcome them again.

Jana and Remi came for two weeks and stayed for three months! They were a joy to have around and it was a pleasure to share Christmas with them.

We experienced three months with the family, and felt during this time, like a family member. The time was flying by so quick! We benefited from the cooking skills (insights in traditional scottish / english kittchen, homemade pizzas, etc.), the knowledge about farming and DIY! Our daily routine was poo picking in the morning from the two ponies
… read more (which Jana was also riding occasionally!:) ), following with different jobs (mainly gardening, animalcare or house renovation). Usually we worked between 4 and 5 hours a day (5 days a week) and we could manage the time by ourself. George is a passionate "teacher" and brings a lot of patience and supportive attitude towards you. From the house itself you have nice view on the ocean & mountains and you can go walk in the forest next to. We recommend to travel with a car, if you want to discover independantly the surroundings. We enjoyed being involved in any kind of activities of the family (like beachdays or games). Being not home for christmas, you made this event special for us! The Kids Lily, Iris and Buck are all in their own way unique and you can spend great times with them. Many thanks Liv & George for let us be a part of your crazy, cool, open minded & joyful family! Take care on you and see you around Jana & RémiVous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.
