Caroline Newson

Unfortunately despite driving for half an hour along a single track road - nearly to the Monachyle Mhor hotel we couldn't find it. Apparently it had been moved due to flooding of the meadow but there were no signs. A refund would be great please:)

Five star experience swimming in the crystal clear waters of loch voil. Relaxing in the sauna with stunning views of the hills followed by delicious lunch in Monachyle Mhor. Heaven

Gorgeous setting - lovely sauna and host.
Would be great if they got it on the loch side but the burn provided a cold dook. 
The walk to the loch is not far and a lovely swim was had. 

Rowena Murray

Great experience. Excellent orientation from Lauren. Excellent communication from Monachyle Mhor when I first asked about sauna. Looking forward to the proposed more permanent structure — will be back with friends.

Rachel Henry

We had a  a fabulous morning at the Sauna and swimming in the loch.
We felt really welcome - thank you Sam - and it was lovely to have towels and dry robes provided. :)

February Exclusive  - Pack Pony Adventure with Eliza Brown

Stephen Alexander

We had a fantastic pack pony adventure, and despite the unpredictable weather, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, Eliza made our experience feel special. The pack ponies were patient and their calm demeanor was contagious, their gentle presence made the journey even more special. It was a perfect blend of outdoor exploration, animal companionship, and storytelling.
