Our sauna is a purpose-built shepherd's style hut built here in Kintyre by Auchencorvie sawmill; it is fitted with a Harvia wood burning heater to give you an authentic sauna experience. The light of the burning flame, the scent of wood, and the pleasant hum from burning logs relaxes your mind and takes you away from everyday stresses and strains. The hut has a viewing window, so sit back, look out over Ardminish bay and enjoy the ever changing landscape.
I am a passionate cold-water swimmer and find the contrasting therapy of heat and cold very powerful with many health benefits.
The heat relaxes the muscles and boosts circulation, whilst the cold triggers endorphins, reduces soreness, and supports immunity, to name but a few!
We recommend sauna for the first 15-20 minutes to raise body temperature then a cold plunge of 1-3 minutes (avoid head area if new to cold water immersion) and repeat, ending on a cold for maximum benefit.
