The Experience

We need support to help with family life. Dog walking, lots of housework and garden. We are home stay, we share our daily lives, stories, good food. We are a family who enjoy living in the wonderful historic market town of Crieff in Perthshire which is centrally located in Scotland. We rescued an old Distillery from demolition and enjoy sharing our adventure. We are nearly finished. Come and enjoy it with us.

My experience was simply amazing. Catrina and Gordon are a really fun couple, always ready to chat and teach you new things. The working hours were respected and the work itself wasn't too hard. Catrina is really caring as well as an amazing cook. She also will give you some amazing tips on what to see all over the home. The place is beautiful and you have the opportunity to visit the surroundings (like Stirling and Edinburgh). Also they have two beautiful dogs that are absolutely the cutest. Thanks for the experience! :)

Everything was perfect, from the working hours to the house and hosts. We had a private bedroom (that was cozy and fantastic) and we helped mostly with cleaning and ironing. The working hours were always respected and the work itself was not too hard. Catrina and Gordon are simply the best, always ready to chat and help you out with everything. Catrina took us to see all the best local places and cooked us amazing dishes :) 100% recommend

I had the most wonderful time at the home. Catrina and her family are great hosts. I felt truly welcomed as soon as I got there. The work hours were easily managed and the tasks were straight forward. I never felt overworked and everything was discussed. If you have any questions just ask! The food was great and I got three meals a day. I had my own room with a shared bathroom. They have two dogs Jacob and Leo who are very fun and love to cuddle on the couch. Overall highly recommend if you have any more questions about the home feel free to message me!

My stay at the home House was very satisfying. Catrina and Gordon are wonderful hosts: always friendly and helpful. I took this path mainly to improve and to unlock my English and thanks to them I was able to reach my goal. The tasks they assigned to me were very clear and therefore easy to perform, the house is very big and I had my own room. They also gave me plenty of free time to explore the home and soak up the local food. Amazing ! Thank you so much for this experience

Catrina is caring & naturally welcoming by nature. She is an encyclopedia of all things the home! The dogs are great. Gordon is funny and sparks lively chats. Majority of our work (myself + another volunteer) was cleaning & prepping holiday rentals for incoming guests, laundering & ironing the linens. She was helpful & patient as I learned the process. She prepared 3 meals a day without fail! We all ate together. That was nice. Our second job was taking care of the dishes after each meal. She told me the house was cold. I had layers. A few times though I was very cold. She is a great host!
