Sauna FAQs

Absolutely. Lots of our guests are first-timers. Your sauna host will show you around, explain how it all works and help you find your pace. There's no right way to do it, just what feels good for you.

Our community sessions last one hour, with up to 8 people. You'll move between the heat of the sauna, a cold plunge or shower, and rest in the warm room or by the fire pit. Repeat as many rounds as you like. It's relaxed, friendly and never competitive.

Our wood-fired sauna usually sits between 70 and 85°C. Because it's heated by fire, the temperature naturally rises and falls, and we adjust it depending on the weather outside.

The higher benches are hotter and the lower benches are gentler, so you can find what suits you. You can also shape the heat yourself by ladling water onto the hot rocks. Our stove is made for it.

• Swimwear (required)
• Two towels: one to sit on and one to dry off
• Flip-flops or sliders
• A water bottle (no glass, please)
• A warm layer or changing robe for between rounds

A wood-fired sauna with an IKI stove, a warm room for resting between rounds, a roll-top bath cold plunge, an outdoor copper shower, a bell tent for changing, and a fire pit. See everything on our Private Sauna Hire page.

Sauna in the rain is one of our favourite things. We run in all weathers, and the warm room keeps you cosy between rounds. If we ever need to cancel for safety, we'll let you know as soon as possible and your payment will be returned as account credit, or refunded if you prefer.

Young people aged 5 to 17 are welcome at our family-friendly sessions and private bookings, with a parent or guardian present. Our community sessions are for over-18s.

Please note that cold plunges are not allowed for under-16s.

Water is a must, so please bring a bottle. We also have a small amount of tap water on site. Please don't bring alcohol.

Small personal snacks are fine before or after your session, but please don't take anything into the sauna or warm room, and leave the space as you found it. Planning a celebration? Add our Saunabrations package when you book private hire.
