Up to 8 sauna users at a time and 1 -2 persons a time in the ice baths. If you are pregnant or have any underlying health problems, please seek advice from your doctor first. We believe that the sauna benefits your health, but it does get hot! So be aware of your body, take lots of breaks and keep hydrated. Children under the age of 12 are not permitted and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult on a 1:1 ratio.
We ask that you have recently showered before entering the sauna and ice baths in the hot showers a short walk away on the Far Peak Business Park site (only available during summer) or at home before leaving to travel to us. As we don't have toilet facilities, we recommend using the toilets at Far Peak (by the Roots and Seeds Cafe or camping toilets) on your walk to us.
To get the most from your session we recommend you bring:
- Swimwear
- Flip flops / sliders to walk between the areas (we are a woodland site so the floor can have sharp spikes)
- TWO towels (one to sit on in the sauna, one to dry yourself with)
- Water bottle
- A robe (for extra luxury!)
We recommend coming in comfortable clothes that are quick to change - even sticking your swimmers on underneath for a super quick switch!
Please remember we are an outdoor site! Dress accordingly :)
You are very welcome to bring along soft drinks (we supply water for free!) to re-hydrate during your visit. You are also welcome to bring nibbles if required to enjoy in the relaxation areas only (salty is good for post sauna mineral replacement). Please don’t take any food inside the saunas or ice baths themselves.
Scenic Sauna is at Far Peak, Northleach, GL54 3AP, in the woodland behind the outdoor climbing area. Enjoy free parking, and toilet facilities as part of the wider Far Peak estate. Roots & Seeds Cafe cater to all your hot drinks, delicious brunch, lunch and afternoon cake needs.
Please note: this is a woodland site. While there is a gravel path leading to us, we recommend wearing suitable footwear and taking care when walking.

Each slot lasts 50 minutes but you shouldn't be in for the sauna or ice bath this whole time. We recommend sauna sessions of 5-15mins with lots of breaks or dips in the ice baths in between - start with 30 seconds in the ice bath up to 2 minutes. You are welcome to book back-to-back sessions for a longer experience. Make sure you arrive at least 10 minutes early to get yourself checked in and ready and showered to make full use of your slot. We ask that you shower before entering the sauna or ice baths either in the hot showers a short walk away (available in summer months only) or at home before travelling to us.
It may seem like a good idea to relax with a glass of beer, but in our experience saunas, cold plunges and alcohol don’t go well together and can increase the risk of accidents. We therefore have a strict no-alcohol policy within the Scenic Sauna areas. We also reserve the right to deny entry to any individuals that we deem to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol without a refund or credit.
