Despite being doubtful that juicing was for me, I found the week transformative. Andrew and his team were exceptional. All the classes were fabulous. I will definitely be returning. read less

A beautiful place, excellent food (thank you Max), 1st class yoga, fitness, walking, nutrition talks, pool and sauna. A good size group, not too big and not too small (about 24). We came as individuals and went home as friends. read less

Serene setting, quiet and peaceful, loved sleeping in the yurt, environmentally conscious (outdoor bio loos), fabulous vegetarian cuisine (thank you Max), nutrition talks, good mix of yoga, walking, fitness, sauna, or... just resting or connecting with others. Was glorious. Will be back. Thank you Andrew and team read less

I don’t know why I worried at all! The atmosphere from start to finish was warm, empowering and inclusive and I embarked on an incredible journey. I realise now that I can do more sport/fitness than I believed; that breathing in yoga is incredibly powerful and varied and that nutritionally I’m now armed with a mass of information to help myself and my family in the future. This is all thanks to the lovely team at Wild View - Andrew, Lindsay, Lina and Ornagh.The week passed in a flash, with a full daily programme of yoga, fitness, walks including a swim in a lake, saunas and dips in the pool, massages and inspiring talks. Nothing is compulsory at all but I’d urge anyone going to make the most of the opportunities this week presents. I came home feeling stronger, calmer, healthier and more energised. It’s a fantastic chance to reset and have a circuit breaker to our very busy lives. Would I return? Definitely.Oh yes, and the 3 juices and soup a day do fuel you for all the activities and are so good for you!!! Plus I really enjoyed meeting everyone else on the retreat - most came on their own, some with a friend, a few couples but everyone was open and friendly and interested in living a healthier way. You can choose to stay in rooms with en-suite, shepherds huts or a yurt. The style is comfortable and rustic in tune with its local environment rather than a luxurious Swiss resort style retreat (but I’ve only read about those!)Congratulations, Andrew! You’ve created somewhere where people can be inspired and nurtured! Thank you so much for my week with you all. read less

The week long retreats run by Andrew are the best I have experienced with top class yoga and fitness instructors, warm and welcoming staff and delicious juices. The daily programmes are well structured to ensure you go home at the end of the week feeling energised and inspired. Andrew’s background in nutritional therapy is hugely beneficial and he is very generous in sharing his knowledge in a practical way. The location of Wild View is stunning and the hikes through the mountains are amazing. Andrew and Erica have created a truly magical place and I look forward to returning again and again. read less

Week 1 was a juicing detox week. The juices were delicious and carefully thought out by Andrew to give us a wide variety of nutrients. We never felt hungry.My second week was vegetarian. The chef just blew us away with his knowledge of vegetarian meals and his skills. Andrew worked very closely with the chef, again to give variety and ensure we received the correct amount of macros and nutrients for our well being.I thoroughly enjoyed my early morning yoga classes and walks( some of which were challenging for me the first week) in the stunning hills. I was surprised by how much fitter and more flexible l was week 2. My skin is glowing, I have more energy than l have had in a long time. I feel fabulous. Which leads me very nicely to Andrew. He had a dream, he wanted a better more healthy life for himself and others. He put his all into this retreat. And it shows. He has a fantastic knowledge of nutrition and is eager to share and encourage others. He genuinely wants the best for everyone and is a lovely guy too. I can't recommend this resort enough and l can't wait to return. read less
