Sauna Information

How to use the sauna:

  • The sauna has a wood-burner which needs 30-45min to get hot

  • Fire wood, firelighters an matches are included in the boxes next to the stove

  • The sauna is a DIY affair - light the stove, close the door, enjoy

  • Tidy up for the next guests when you leave

Firelighting service

  • A firelighting service may be negotiated by calling 01639 865485, provided at the discretion of the campsite staff. Please bring a £5 cash tip to your session, this goes directly to the staff member. Unfortunately we are not able to provide this for the 6am session (this slot is best for campsite guests).

  • No food and drink inside

  • No alcohol while using the sauna

  • No smoking inside the sauna

  • Please remove any litter from the sauna area after your session

Hot tips

  • Keep feeding logs into the stove, leaving plenty of space between them for airflow. Smaller logs will burn faster and hotter.

  • Fill the water bowl at the start of the session so the water can warm up in the sauna (colder water will cool down the stones)

  • Wait to break a sweat before sprinkling water on the coals.

  • Pouring lots of water on the stove and then opening the door will remove heat from the sauna.

  • There are two higher hot seats next to the stove in the barrel sauna

  • The door height of the barrel sauna is reduced to keep the sauna hotter. You must duck to enter.

  • Stow water bottles on the floor by the door. Cool fresh air is drawn through the gap under the door.

  • Plunge for as long as you can bear (90 - 120 seconds is ideal). The sensation of entering the sauna after being chilled to the bone is extraordinary
