Highland Health Retreats
Steve was loving life in the Highlands, walking his beloved Hungarian Vizsla “Zeus” up the Sutors everyday, but there was one small problem, he felt he had abandoned his high profile clients in London, some of whom he had trained for over 10 years and many of these had become close friends.
Then it dawned on him, he needed to bring them up to share the beauty of the Highlands, and then he could continue training them. If they left London in the morning they could be enjoying the fabulous view on top of the Sutors by teatime. He approached local Hotels, guesthouses and restaurants and looked at the National Trust for Scotland’s prime residencies and set up Highland Health Retreats. He then continued his quest to find Scotland’s finest castles and estates to house his retreats
Highland Health Retreats
Clear Space, Clear Body, Clear Mind
Highland Health Retreats are designed to rejuvenate people and put them back in touch with nature and their own body and mind, through fun, physically and mentally challenging activities, inspired by world class coaches Steve Agyei and Olympic legend Daley Thompson, within the surroundings of a beautiful environment, producing a freedom of movement and thought, which in turn, creates the space to make clear, concise decisions in everyday life.
Highland Health Retreats in 2012 will be based at Brodie Castle, The Eden Club, Pittormie Castle, Aldourie Castle, Loch Ness and Cameron House, Loch Lomond.
Brodie Castle
Brodie Castle was built in 1567 and is a magnificent historic building surrounded by sumptuous grounds and houses a wonderful art collection.
Clients will stay in the Lairds Wing of the castle and have the opportunity to participate in yoga, fitness, dancing, health hikes, white water rafting, mountain biking, canoeing and receiving holistic massages, in some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet as well as a chance to be engrossed in local culture, history and entertainment whilst sampling healthy culinary using the finest Scottish produce.
The Eden Club, Pittormie Castle
The Eden Club is an international private members' club providing three special dimensions: the most luxurious private retreat in St Andrews, Scotland, an outstanding schedule of events and a unique Secretariat service.
Formerly the home of the first Duke of Fife, having been given to Ludovic of Lennox by King James VI in 1596, the baronial castle was lovingly restored in 2005 under the guidance of Historic Scotland. Surrounded by mature forestry, manicured lawns and beautiful gardens Pittormie Castle forms the centrepiece of the Club.
