Volunteer Work Week Accommodation

Flora MacDonald’s Hostel

We will have exclusive use of the cosy Flora MacDonald’s Hostel, which stands in magnificent surroundings at Kilmore in the south end of the island. There are two dorms, a well-equipped kitchen, lounge area and drying room. The hostel is approximately half an hour’s drive from the work site at Kinloch Hills, however some tasks may require a longer drive.

Dundreggan Lodge

Accommodation for the Dundreggan weeks will be in the Dundreggan Lodge. This is Trees for Life’s newest field base and is situated on the southern boundary of Dundreggan Estate, overlooking the River Moriston. The recently converted building has 3 bunkrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, large lounge/dining area and two bath/shower rooms. We also have a drying room! Depending on time of year, volunteers will have the opportunity to explore the estate during their time off.

Plodda Lodge

Plodda is one of TFL’s field bases. Set in the woods of Strathglass, Plodda has been renovated to accommodate our Work Week volunteers. It has solid fuel heating from a Rayburn stove, a shower-room, a well-equipped kitchen and large lounge. Sleeping accommodation for the group is in one large bunkroom. The surrounding woodland scenery is spectacular and can be easily accessed with one of the highlights being the 100-foot high Plodda Falls.

Attadale Cottages, Strathcarron

We will have the use of two well-appointed nineteenth century semi-detached cottages, each with bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms with showers. Attadale is a stunning glen situated west of our work site at Achnashellach. The surrounding hills have some great patches of woodland and the nearby Attadale house has beautiful gardens, which can be explored during time off.
