Step 1: Start in the Main Sauna

Step into the main sauna for your first heat blast. The intense warmth helps relax muscles, improve circulation, and melt away the stress of city life. Take a few minutes to settle in and soak up the calming heat.

Step 2: Refresh with a Cold Shower Drench

After your first sauna session, step outside for a revitalising cold water shower drench. This refreshes your body and awakens your senses, giving you a perfect reset before the next heat session.

Step 3: Back to the Sauna for Another Heat Blast

Return to the main sauna for a second, shorter session. This warms you back up, dries you off, and allows you to fully enjoy the comforting heat.

Step 4: Chill in the Internal Relaxation Room

Move into the internal relaxation room, where the gentler warmth helps you slowly wind down. It’s the perfect place to relax, breathe, and enjoy a quieter moment before ending your session.

Step 5: End with the Hot Tub at Your Lodge or Cottage

Finally, head back to your lodge and soak in the hot tub or relax on the decking. Surrounded by woodland and away from the city, this is your moment to completely unwind, feeling refreshed and restored.

Tips for a Perfect City Escape

  • Take your time: Move naturally through each stage without rushing.
  • Stay hydrated: Keep water nearby to replenish fluids lost in the sauna.
  • Listen to your body: Use the internal room whenever you need a gentler heat.

There’s no need to rush it—this is your time to slow everything down and enjoy the experience from start to finish.

The sauna is available in private 2-hour sessions between 6am and 8pm, so you can shape it around your stay—perhaps a quiet morning reset or an evening wind-down before slipping back into your hot tub.
