Valhalla Sauna was born from a passion for holistic well-being and a deep appreciation for the restorative power of nature.
We seamlessly blend the therapeutic benefits of the sauna with the recharge or plunge pool, surrounded by the calming embrace of the great outdoors.
Immersed in Nature
We are located right in the heart of a wooded area along the River Barrow. The calmness and tranquility of our natural location can’t be matched
Take a Plunge
We also have a plunge pool on site so you can take a cooling dip after leaving the Sauna.
Coffee Dock
Our neighbours at Barrow Brew will be happy to provide refreshments including Coffee, Tea, Cold Drinks and Snacks

Benefits of using our Sauna
Relaxation
Saunas produce a feeling of relaxation. When you soothe your body physically, often the mind and the emotions follow suit. The effect is long lasting and may even help you get a better night’s sleep.
Improve blood circulation
As your heart rate goes up and your blood vessels dilate, there’s an increase in blood flow to the skin. Your sympathetic nervous system becomes more active in order to maintain a temperature balance in your body. Your endocrine glands begin to get involved in this response.
Pain relief
Using a dry sauna can leave people feeling energized. Since the blood vessels relax and dilate in a sauna, blood flow increases, and the experience can help reduce tension in the joints and relieve sore muscles.
Benefits of cold water therapy
Research indicates that icy water may have a positive effect on recovery after exercise by reducing inflammation and soreness. It also may help build resiliency, restore balance to the nervous system and improve cognitive function and mood
