Welcome to Sauna Cwtch!

A Sanctuary of warmth, connection and deep relaxation set in the heart of Park In the Past.

We are more than just a Sauna; We are a community, a family built around the simple yet powerful elements of heat, water and nature.

The Welsh word ‘Cwtch’ (pronounced Kutch) doesn’t just mean cuddle, its something deeper. It is a place of warmth, safety and comfort and that is exactly what we offer. An escape from the rush of modern life, a return to the raw elements and a space where everyone is welcomed like an old friend.

Imagine stepping into a Swedish made wood fired sauna with the scent of burning wood filling the air accompanied by the crackle of flames creating a soothing rhythm.

As the heat wraps around you and your body relaxes the tension melts away, allowing your mind to slow to the peaceful tempo of nature.

Outside the lake glistens….. inviting you to embrace the exhilarating contrast of cold water immersion awakening each of your senses and filling you with an unmatched feeling of vitality.

This is the magic of Sauna Cwtch, a place where fire and water meet, where strangers become friends and you are always treated like family.
