The saunas are a short walk across the lawn from the pool, where an outdoor shower will also be found. You are recommended to bring a pair of slip-on shoes such as sliders or crocs to walk comfortably between sauna, pool and changing rooms.

You may come and go in and out of the sauna as you please during your timed session, within safety guidelines. 15 minutes is the longest we recommend you stay inside. Relax between sessions in the open air, or under the shower. Two sauna sessions may be booked consecutively so long as time guidelines continue to be followed.

Sauna and swim bundle special offer! You can combine your sauna with a swim ticket for maximum enjoyment of the whole facility. This gives you the opportunity to dip in the pool between saunas. Please note your dip should be no longer than 2–3 mins between sauna visits. To practise contrast therapy, you should be aiming for the beneficial effects of temperature changes on your body without significantly dropping or raising your core temperature.

If you’ve had a longer swim before your sauna session begins, please warm up gradually using warm layers and a hot drink in one of our warm spaces, before entering the sauna. Never use a sauna to warm up if you are very cold.

Please be aware of the health notes and the risks of cold water immersion and sauna before booking.
