Lakeside Saunas
There are three wood-fired saunas available for booking that are situated by the side of the M Lake. The Sauna experience is 55 minutes long giving you the chance to alternate between hot and cold throughout that time. We recommend 10 minutes or so in the sauna, followed by a short dip then back in the sauna. And repeat.
Please note that a sauna booking includes swimming for the day, therefore please do not book swimming separately if you have booked a sauna.
Lake View Sauna (Thurs-Mon)
The Lake View sauna, with its panoramic views from the large glass window, seats up to 8 people (or 10 for a private booking). Its large window overlooking the M Lake is the perfect spot to watch the world go by and gives you the chance to spot PBF’s famous kingfishers. This sauna is available for individual or private/group bookings.
The Lakeview and the Shepherd’s hut run on the same time schedule so when both are open they can be booked together to accommodate up to 16 people for a private booking - check the online calendar for availiability.
Shepherd’s Hut Sauna (Weds & Fri-Sun)
The Shepherd’s Hut is our smallest sauna, converted from an old Shepherd’s hut which had been standing unused on the farm. Its intimate nature has made it a firm favourite with the PBF regulars and those who want a quieter experience as this sauna only seats up to 6 people. The Shepherds Hut is now nestled close to the Lake View sauna and now has a glass door, its own veranda and steps. Individual or private bookings are available within the time slots shown on the availability calendar.

Willow Tree Sauna (Every day except Tuesday)
The Willow Tree sauna is our latest sauna. Tucked away in the corner of The M Lake, this stunning sauna, sited next to a willow tree - it really is quite special. Seating 8, it has a large vestibule to hang your robes and leave your valuables in, a large decking area and steps leading directly from the decking into the lake. The large window makes it a perfect place to unwind and watch the wildlife go about their business. Individual or private bookings are available within the time slots shown on the availability calendar.
The Willow tree sauna runs at times offset to the Shepherd’s Hut and Lakeview- check the online calendar for availiability.
Things to note:
Head to our little reception hut under the Willow Tree in the yard, opposite the cafe, when you arrive.
Please ensure you take water with you and a towel to sit on while in the sauna. It’s also a good idea to bring a second towel to dry yourself with afterwards too.
