Onsite Sauna and Cold Plunge

We are lucky to have a mobile Sauna and Cold Plunge onsite so you can take a moment to reconnect with nature. Tucked among the trees and overlooking the stream towards Wembury Bay the sauna’s heat offers a peaceful retreat after a day outdoors. Step outside to the cold plunge pool, where fresh water provides an invigorating contrast — a nod to wild swimming.
