Join Eliza for a scenic walk through Monachyle Glen, exploring a mix of woodlands and open glens. Along the way, you'll have the chance to spot local wildlife, learn about the area's rich flora, and even forage for seasonal wild treats.

Our friendly pack ponies will carry the essentials, so you can enjoy the walk at a relaxed pace. Midway, take a break with tea and homemade cake, surrounded by the beauty of the Highlands.

In 2023, Eliza walked 400km across the Highlands with a pack pony, covering rugged and remote terrain. She’ll share insights from her journey, offering a glimpse into a slower, more mindful way of traveling.

A great mix of nature, history, and gentle adventure.

This is an open activity, meaning you may be joined by others. Private bookings are available for a more personal experience.

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.

Join us for a scenic pack pony trek through the breathtaking Monachyle Glen. 

Immerse yourself in the daily rhythms of Monachyle Mhor Farm, where you’ll experience the heart of rural life firsthand.

Join us in caring for our animals—take the donkeys and goats for a scenic walk, collect fresh eggs from the hen coop, groom our Highland ponies, and meet Donald, our adorable baby Highland cow. On select days, you can even watch our skilled sheepdogs in action!

Discover how we bridge the farm and hotel, embracing a farm-to-fork philosophy that deepens our connection to the land and the food we eat.

Caroline Newson

Helen Carr

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 

Cathy Hilman

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. :)

Emily Ballard

Such a great experience! Everything was great and stunning location…we’d definitely recommend going! 

Valerie Holsgrove

After some tips from Eliza, I had a lovely dip in Loch Voil with fab sauna right there. Incredible spot and a welcoming herbal tea on completion. Back to my room at Monachyle Mhor for a shower and marvellous breakfast. A complete reset achieved. Felt great thanks!

Rachel Keys

Fabulous experience.
We had such wonderful weather that it would have been impossible not to love it! Eliza was very friendly and laid back which added to the sense of freedom and relaxation about the whole experience. A superb spot by Loch Doine and made a great weekend even more special.

Jacqui Souter

It was the perfect thing to do after a wee dip or two in the loch.  With the water at 5 degrees it was blissful to get into the sauna! A perfect birthday treat.  Thank you

Mette  Wright

We had such a special time using the sauna then swimming in the Loch.  The sauna is situated so you look over the Loch it's absolutely stunning, the sauna is all ready when you arrive with fresh towels and nice and hot, the team at Rvival are friendly and incredible helpful, we couldn't recommend this experience highly enough it's a real treat and well worth the experience.

Alison Robinson

We had a fabulous time using the sauna and loch experience. Lovely hot sauna in a quaint little mobile shepherds hut followed by a few refreshing dips in a stunning and picturesque loch.  Super friendly guide took us round and explained everything necessary. Really enhanced our enjoyment of our overall time at the fantastic Monachyle Mhor. Would do it again in a heart beat 

Kari  Dickson

Fantastic. We had a wonderful time. The sauna was a lovely temperature, well stocked with wood. And good instructions as where it was easiest and best to get in the water. The little extras that made it even better were the fire pit on the shore and the tipee for changing, towels and robes. Class. We'll be back!

Lucie Rycott

We loved everything about the sauna and swim experience. Will definitely book again!

Jason Kritzinger

My partner and I had an incredible experience with the wild loch swim and sauna. We were fortunate to get the allocated time slot to ourselves for the hour. The sauna facilities were perfect and the towels and dry robes are an amazing touch. We headed into the restaurant for a soup and sandwich which was out of this world. We definitely will make our way back again in the future

DEBORAH  MACPHERSON 

One of the most memorable experiences! The team couldn’t have done more to make a special birthday even more special. Couldn’t recommend more highly! 

Andy Telfer

 Easily in the top 5 most beautiful spots that we’ve visited, an absolutely stunning location for a sauna and dip. The sauna is brand new and is able to heat up very quick. There were only four of us when we visited which was perfect. Six might be a bit of squeeze, especially if you don’t know one another. The loch is great for dipping and the staff were extremely helpful and personable. Very much recommend
