A Woodland Sauna Experience

Hidden beneath ancient horse chestnut, beech and copper beech trees, our woodland sauna sits quietly amongst Burtown’s sculpture park, surrounded by wild grasses, birdsong and open parkland.

In partnership with Fad Saoil Saunas, we’re delighted to introduce a six-week pop-up sauna experience unlike any other.

A winding mown path leads you through old pasture and wildflowers to a secluded sauna overlooking a stone circle — a place to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with nature before enjoying breakfast, lunch or dinner at The Green Barn.

A Different Kind of Sauna

This isn’t a gym. It isn’t a spa. It isn’t beside the sea. Instead, it’s somewhere entirely different.

Tucked away in Burtown’s sculpture park, the sauna has been carefully positioned amongst mature trees where the landscape has remained largely unchanged for generations. Long meadow grasses sway around the winding pathway as you make your way towards the sauna, creating a feeling of leaving everyday life behind. Whether you’re seeking quiet reflection, post-exercise recovery or simply an hour away from your phone, this is a place designed for slowing down.

We’re delighted to partner with Fad Saoil Saunas, one of Ireland’s leading sauna communities. Known for creating welcoming, community-led sauna experiences, Fad Saoil has developed a reputation for making sauna bathing accessible to everyone—from complete beginners to regular enthusiasts. Their philosophy centres on wellbeing, connection and creating spaces where people can release, relax and recover.
