Wild Swimmer in the Lake District

say hello

to Cumbria’s first La’al Sauna

at Yan with nature

let off a little steam

My Saunas are sited at Bank Ground Farm,  East of the lake, Coniston LA21 8AA.

La’al Sauna was the FIRST wood fired, Nordic inspired sauna in the Lake District founded in January 2023. Hand built by myself from converted horse boxes. With beautiful HUUM stoves and hand crafted interior, it’s the perfect space for you to relax, reconnect with nature and benefit from the healing properties of heat and ‘Löyly’ or steam.

There is direct access to Coniston Water, with jetties and a swim ladder. So, you can combine cold dips in the Lake during your Sauna session – with a stunning view across the water to Coniston Old Man.

What our sauna lovers say

What a great experience at La’al Sauna! Debbie was very friendly and has done a wonderful job converting a horse box into a beautiful mobile sauna with love and attention to detail. Just a few metres from Lake Windermere at Fell Foot, means it’s perfect for dipping in the cold water them warming back up in the sauna. I highly, highly recommend.

 

Absolutely fantastic! The La’al Sauna is such a dream. A beautiful location, an amazing idea and so beautifully built.
While the temperatures today were typical of January, the Sauna was unbelievably toasty and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed dipping in the lake and warming back up again with the help of the steaming stones.
If you’re at all curious – take the plunge – you won’t regret it!
Thank you La’al Sauna!

the benefits are ten fold

benefits of sauna health

  • Improves cardiovascular system and blood circulation.
  • The heat and steam enhances collagen production and rejuvenates skin – making it tighter and brighter.
  • Ease aches and pains and encourage workout recovery as blood flow increases – reducing tension and relieving sore muscles.
  • Relaxes the body muscles and reduces stress, releasing natural endorphins, making you feel calm, relaxed and energised.
  • Burn calories while you rest! (yes it actually can!)
