About this sauna
Set beside a quiet loch within Eden Springs, this sauna sits tucked into a more sheltered spot amongst the trees, only becoming visible as you get closer.
Positioned right at the water’s edge, it’s easy to move between the sauna and loch, with ducks often passing by and views stretching across the water towards the surrounding woodland.
I visited Eden Springs for a social session to see what it’s actually like, especially the group dynamic and the loch swim.

From my visit
It can take a moment to find at first, as signal may drop within the park. Using what3words (jacuzzi.sandbags.songbird) helps for the final approach, with the sauna tucked just past the coffee shop amongst the trees.
The loch is deep — once you climb down the ladder, you won’t be able to touch the bottom and you’ll be swimming straight away. It’s calm and easy to access, and you’ll often spot ducks nearby while in the water.
Yes — there’s a host onsite throughout sessions, helping things run smoothly and available if you have any questions or need assistance.
