What happens if I miss my sauna session?
Missed sessions incur a £10 no-show fee and are non-refundable. We recommend arriving early to avoid missing out.
What if the weather is bad?
We operate in most weather—saunas are magical in the rain! If extreme weather forces us to cancel, we’ll offer you a reschedule or refund.
Do you take walk-ins?
Walk-ins may be accepted if space is available, but we recommend booking in advance to secure your session.
What are your terms of use?
Please review our full Sauna Terms & Conditions on our website before your visit. They cover important safety and usage guidelines.
Are children allowed in your sauna?
Yes, children aged 12+ are welcome with a supervising adult. For younger users, we suggest shorter, more gentle sessions.
Who can use your sauna?
Use of the sauna is at your own risk. If you’re unsure about its suitability, consult your GP—especially if you’re pregnant, on medication, or have health concerns such as heart conditions, epilepsy, asthma, high/low blood pressure, or recent injuries.
What should I bring with me?
- Swimwear
- Sliders or flip-flops for moving in/out safely
- Two towels: one to sit on, one to dry off
- Water bottle to stay hydrated
How long should I stay in the sauna?
We recommend 10–15 minute rounds with breaks in between. Listen to your body and enjoy the rhythm that suits you best.
How early should I arrive before my sauna session?
Please arrive 10 minutes early to check in, change, and get comfortable.
Do you have space for my belongings?
We have a small communal changing area inside the entrance of our sauna and a small changing area in the container with lockers to hold your belongings, but we advise that you arrive dressed with your swimwear underneath your clothing.
Can I pour water on the stove’s rocks?
Yes – use the provided ladle to gently pour water on the rocks and enjoy the löyly (steam). Please avoid throwing large amounts of water, as it reduces heat and affects future sessions.
What's your policy around nudity in the sauna?
We’re a swimsuit-friendly sauna. For everyone’s comfort, we ask that all guests wear swimwear and sit on a towel during their session.
