"Many thanks for a wonderful - if challenging - week.  I personally found the benefits for my arthritic joint pains to be quite remarkable and am working hard to incorporate suitable dietary changes and increase my practise of yoga." (P.H. Sept 2011)

"Thank you for working so hard to create a great programme and being with us every (literally) step of the way.. I did have some bad thoughts about you on some of those ascents.. but they evaporated once we headed downhill!" (M.D. Aug 2011)

"Just want to say thank you so much for an excellent week, I arrived stressed and floated away after the 5 days. ... I feel amazing after the trip, and am definitely going to try to make it back to Cloona next year." (A.B. August 2011)

"I have to confess an interest here, for I’ve been a fan of Cloona for a long time, one of the many repeat visitors who feel rejuvenated and reinvigorated after the week." Deirdre McQuillan (Irish Times, Jan 2010)

"I really enjoyed Cloona this time, even more than before. The wheatgrass was energising and the juice day was very beneficial. I think the laghoo added to that. I felt very energised after that day. I think it would be great if we could do one juice day every week after we leave, can you recommend any books with recipes for juices? 
The program is even better this time around, I'd love to do the liver flush if you're running it again and I get the time." (M.G. July '11)

"It was only when I arrived home and was in my own surroundings that I truly recognised how wonderful I felt.  My whole being and spirit is totally lifted and rejuvenated. 
The passion you show for what you do is refreshing and I wish you every happiness and success in your life.
Thank you to you and all the staff for a very positive experience at Cloona.  I have continued with yoga thanks to Caitriona's CD; I get in walks and I am eating better and in a more conscious way.  Please pass on my thanks to Caitrona - she is inspirational and such a character, Donal for his wonderful massages and of course Ann and Pauline for their lovely gentle work." (P.C., July '11)

"As a regular visitor to Cloona I always look forward to spending time there.The wonderful peaceful atmosphere, yoga, walking, treatments and amazing lunches made with such care. This time I went to the weight loss programme and I came away half a stone lighter which was a real bonus as well as enjoying all the usual activities. It is such a great experience to go to Cloona and meet wonderful interesting people and spend time having great discussions or you can just chill out by yourself whatever you want to do. I always come home full of energy and feeling great till I return every 6 months. Looking forward to my return visit already.Thanks again for everything.." (G. C. June 11)

"Just want to thank you so much for a wonderful  week it was just what the doctor ordered!  I haven't stopped raving about my week to any one who'll listen!" (C.O'S, June 2011)  

"I just want to thank you all for a wonderful lifechanging week at Cloona. It's very difficult to fully explain to others the 'Cloona experience'. Suffice to say the total experience is more than the sum of its parts. I've been waxing lyrical since I ve come home and continuing with the good habits learned." (M.McC, June 2011)

"I cannot thank enough you and your helpers for the nourishment I have received this week for mind, body and soul. I cannot remember feeling better in all three than since the last time I left here at least 15 years ago". (H. McG, June 2011)

"I wish to thank you sincerely for a life-changing week. It turned out to be not so much about losing physical weight, although this effect is welcome and continuing. More importantly, thought processes during walks and yoga gradually led to losing and straightening out mental clutter, some of which I was not even aware I had! I felt light and peaceful when I left, and still do one week later, hurray! I go for a walk every day, and do yoga with the discs - to the amazement of all those around me:-) So, great compliments to you all for the wonderful impact the Cloona week has had on my well being. Of course I plan to come back..." (M. S.E. June 2011)

"Really enjoyed my stay last week.  Got more out of this one then last time probably because I was better prepared so next year should be even better again." (A.H. June 2011)  

"Much to my surprise, I lost 7lbs! I have to be honest and say that I didn't think such loss was possible, even in Cloona, but clearly I was wrong. Even better, everybody I've met has commented on how well and fresh and glowing I'm looking, many without knowing where I've been. And I am still caffeine and sugar free, and intend to stay that way for the foreseeable future. So Cloona has once again weaved its spell!" (M.G. May 2011)

"Thank you so much for a wonderful break - I feel so revived and fit to face the world... Looking forward to next year's visit already! PS Donated blood on Sunday 8th May (2days after leaving Cloona) and my haemoglobin level has never been so high! (I'm usually borderline)" (A. M. May 2011)

"I had the most wonderful time and loved every minute of the 2 weeks I spent at Cloona. I came home feeling revitalised, rested and wonderful. Ready to enter a new chapter of my life. The treatments were excellent, the yoga was inspiring and the sauna and cold shower invigorating. The beautiful simplicity of the the house has a supportive and relaxing atmosphere. The heartfelt caring nature of the owner Dhara shone through always especially on our daily walks including a stunning beach walk and a secluded wood trail. The food all organic was incredibly delicious. I can't wait to go back again and again!" (M. O'D. May 2011) 

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Cloona and would love to return. The surrounding area was beautiful and close to nature, I found the program very well-organised, sociable yet plenty of time for myself and the place had a very healing atmosphere! I would highly reccomend it to anyone who is stressed or recovering from illness.
I felt wonderful with the green juices and when I arrived home I was pleasantly
surprised to have lost 4 lbs! I found the yoga excellent for beginners like
myself and the massages were amazing and an ideal end to the day. The food
was of a high standard and Dhara was very accomodating as I follow an all
raw diet but had no problem as there was an abundance of raw food and juices.
Thank you for a wonderful 5 days!" (K. McC. May 2011)

"Just wanted to say thanks ever so much for a fab week at Cloona (I was on the Liver & gall bladder flush from Cork)! Been singing the praises of the place since so no doubt I am getting more new customers for you. When people hear that I lost a half stone on the 5 days (I'm working in a gym so everyone wants weight loss) that gets quite the reaction." (Brighid, April 2011)

"I was nervous doing the flush wondering would it work but Dhara provides you with lots of knowledge while allowing you to be at ease! Catriona's yoga sessions were just fab. She brings a real warmth to the sessions. Unexpectedly lost a half stone, couldn't believe it! Indulge yourself in the beautiful place for any of the weeks & you are in for absolute magic. Thank you so much Dhara for you warm hearted welcome & to Catriona for sharing her passion. It is a true awakening of the senses!" (B.L. April 2011)

"It was a wonderful week and I feel well and truly cleansed, refreshed and restored.   When my daughter in Australia saw me on Skype she said  "Your whole face has lifted!"   Cloona magic!  The therapies, diet, walks and accommodation along with the daily Yoga, all contributed  I am sure." (M.O'R. April 2011)

"Once again thank you for an amazing week." (P.R April 2011)

"Thank you so much for the nourishing 5 days that I spent at Cloona last week.  Since I returned,  I've been extolling the virtues of you all to anyone that will listen. Every part of the experience was just perfect and I wanted to take the time to tell you that." (T.R. March 2011)

"Thank you so much Dhara for a really enjoyable and beneficial retreat. I am 5 pounds lighter.... really delighted about that... but even more delighted at the feeling of well being as a result of the week." (D.C. March 2011)

"I meant to write to you before to thank you for such a lovely stay at Cloona. I felt so relaxed and "alive" when I left and still feel some of the benefits despite being back in Dublin! I'm really looking forward to coming back to Cloona, it was such a wonderful stay. See you soon" (N.M. Feb 2011)

"I had to write to thank you so much for the wonderful weekend at Cloona. Only onecomplaint, not long enough! I must ensure I book in for the 5 day programme next time.I enjoyed everything about the stay; the peace, calm, fun, food, fruit, wheatgrass, water, bed, sleep, sauna, massage, reflexology, facial, weather, walks, yoga and the wonderful people that travelled alongside me for the break, just nourishment for the soul." (A.S. Dec 2010)

"I'd just like to thank you and the team for the pleasure and experience of an enlightening and uplifting time in Cloona,  it is a delightful spot to do this given the amount of areas for peaceful walks, the very tranquil setting and serene athmosphere.... its so neatly nestled away from all distractions. 
I must say the liver flush was slightly daunting and i was a bit fretful entering into something i've never experienced but i have to say the benefits far out weigh any apprehension i may have felt. It creates a great sense of awareness of your body especially the internel workings of it, that wonderful feeling of being clensed and i am still feeling the benefits even though this week am back to the hustle and bustle of life i feel more energised and aware of my body than before. 
I'd like to thank Dhara for his ongoing attention and service to us all and his never ending source of excellent information so brillantly expressed and Catriona, her yoga classes were fun, relaxing, centring, challenging and energising." (C.S. Oct 2010)

"Many, many thanks to Dhara & all at Cloona for a heavenly week.....
My  body, mind and soul are refreshed.
I am still glowing with happiness and bursting with energy." (M.K. Oct 2010)

"I was away  for the week and so just received the email and photo, thanks a million. I also want to say a huge thank you for the wonderful week I spent at Cloona last week. It was everything I had hoped for and more!!!!
I have embarked on detoxes before but none organised with such expertise and professionalism. You and your team are inspirational and your commitment to the wellbeing of all the guests is obvious. The sense of community you create  is key to the success of the detox too I think, and that certainly is unique to Cloona." (B.C. Aug 2010)

"I had a really wonderful week and am buzzing with energy since I came back. It's a wonderful feeling to feel so alive and well" (G.B. April 2010)
