Lakeside Wood-Fired Sauna at Park in the Past

Welcome to Sauna Cwtch — a lakeside sanctuary of warmth, connection and calm, set within the beautiful natural surroundings of Park in the Past, Hope. More than just a sauna, Sauna Cwtch is a community space built around the grounding elements of fire, water and nature. Inspired by the Welsh word “Cwtch” — meaning more than just a cuddle, but a feeling of deep comfort, warmth and belonging — every visit invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and feel at home. Step inside our Swedish-designed wood-fired saunas, where the warm glow of the fire and the scent of burning wood create a soothing atmosphere. As the heat envelops you, tension melts away and your mind eases into the peaceful tempo of nature. Outside, the lake glistens — offering the perfect cold-water dip to awaken your senses and leave you feeling refreshed, invigorated and fully alive. Whether you’re seeking recovery, relaxation, mental clarity or simply a moment of stillness, Sauna Cwtch is a welcoming space where everyone belongs.
