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.

# Wild Experiences - Led by extraordinary.

**A Fiery Feasts with Ruaridh Emslie**\
Get to grips with the four fundamental elements of nature – game, foraging, fire, and cookery. At RVIVAL, we’re fueled by what’s around us, and we believe that things growing together should end up on the plate together. This experience will ignite your passion for identifying, cooking, and savoring wild plants and animals, all prepared to the highest culinary standards. Fire is at the heart of what we do, so we’ll teach you the core skills of the flame — from underground ovens to grilling, to hot and cold smoking — unlocking a world of flavors that only fire can deliver.

**Survival Skills with Zeki Basan**\
At RVIVAL, we protect the skills and traditions passed down through generations, grounding us in the wild and helping us live in harmony with nature. In this experience, you’ll learn fundamental survival skills — shelter building, fire starting, and foraging — that once kept people alive and connected to the land. These are the skills we pass on, from gathering food and water to making fire with your hands. With Zeki, RVIVAL’s lead guide, you’ll rediscover what it means to thrive in the wild, learning techniques as relevant today as they were centuries ago.

**Flora, Fauna & Folklore with Hamish Martin**\
At RVIVAL, we protect stories, the tales lost through time. Traditions passed down through generations. Join us on a nature-led journey through hidden forest paths, where we’ll share the ancient wisdom of the land. This experience is about passing these stories and skills on to the generations to come. Perfect for families, we’ll forage, share tales, and finish with herbal tea and homemade cake — celebrating both nature and tradition.

**🛶 Packrafting with Nell Kirkby**\
Packrafting is an expeditionary skill that help you to travel across remote bodies of water in the wilderness. Feel the rush of adventure as you explore the waterways of this beautiful glen. It’s a great way to immerse yourself amongst the element of water, experiencing the freedom of exploring remote waterways as if you were in a hidden jungle far from the world. Learn new skills, discover the rhythm of the water, and perhaps, this will spark a thirst for your own bigger water-based adventure.

**🎨 Pigment Painting with Alistair Blain**\
When you stop and truly listen, look, and feel, you begin to tune into the world around you — the colours, the smells, the sounds. Add the skill of gathering natural elements from the land to create your own paints, and you’ll not only see nature, you’ll capture it. With Alistair’s guidance, you’ll transform your surroundings into art, creating a piece that’s not just a reflection of the land but a skill passed down through generations, rooted in place and process.

a weekend of barefoot luxury, wild cocktails, inspirational experiences, live music, roaring fires, full-body laughter, and a touch of chaos.
