People often ask when the sauna started, how it’s heated, and how it all works!
Here’s a quick recap.
I started the sauna at Widemouth, Bude in April 2023. After six months we moved to Crooklets Beach, where we’ve been since. This coming April marks three years which is a fair stretch in a sauna world that’s evolving quickly.
The sauna itself is wood-fired, heated with a HUUM stove packed with volcanic stones for a soft, steady löyly. She was built in Lithuania, I have zero carpentry skills unfortunately!
Our favourite feature is the large half-moon window looking straight out to sea. On clear days, you can see Tintagel sitting on the horizon.
After a long week, a proper sweat, a spectacular view followed by a sea dip really does hit all the right spots.
Our sauna is for those who embrace nature & the elements 🌊
