Step into your own private wellness pod. Each pod includes a sauna with either hot stone (up to 99°C) or infrared (heated up to 70°C), a cold plunge bath (set between 3–15°C), and a shower, with space to change and unwind. Alternate between Hot & Cold, refresh in the shower, and make it personal with your own music or podcasts on the Sonos speaker – your wellness, your way.
Perfect for a quick hit, before, after or even during your busy work day. Ideal for post-gym recovery, a Saturday relaxation or a Sunday pre-run wake-up.
Short, sweet & effective
All the time you need. How we like it? Get in 2, maybe 3 short plunges with longer sauna in between. You may feel like 30 mins in the sauna, shower and home.
Dual Session. You and a friend. Sit together in our 2 person Hot Stone sauna, take turns in the cold plunge.

Cold plunges have been shown to reduce inflammation in muscles and joints, aiding recovery post-exercise & reducing chronic pain conditions.
Exposure to cold water triggers the release of endorphins and norepinephrine, improving mood and potentially helping with symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Cold plunging boosts blood flow by constricting blood vessels, leading to improved circulation and cardiovascular health over time.
Athletes use cold water immersion to accelerate muscle recovery, reduce soreness, and improve performance by reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
All you need to experience Hot & Cold is some swimwear, towels and shower gel are provided. If you forget your swimwear don’t panic, we have a range for sale as well.
Your wellbeing is our priority. All guests are required to complete a short safety waiver during the booking process. Each pod is equipped with an emergency alarm located beside the cold plunge for your peace of mind. Please listen to your body – while cold immersion has many benefits, we advise not staying in the plunge for more than 3 minutes at a time. Take your time, move at your pace, and reset safely.
Booking a session is easy, you can do it here through our website, or download the Hot & cold app from the play store or app store. You can also walk in and book or give us a call.
We offer both solo and dual bookings in our two larger pods so you and a friend can experience Hot & Cold together, just select the dual booking option on our website or through our app.
For the benefit of all customers, we ask that you have a quick rinse in the shower before you begin your session, although all equipment is drained and cleaned thoroughly daily every little help, as for afterwards, that’s up to you but hopefully you’ll have got a good sweat on… so probably!
Sessions are either 20 or 40 minutes. 20 is ideal for the busy professional enabling you to get in and out and crack on with your day. If you have more time to spend then 40 minutes give you plenty of time for multiple plunges and some good sauna time. Remember a minute goes very slowly in the cold…
Studies show that infrared heat can improve circulation, ease, and support cardiovascular health, while cold immersion may reduc inflammation, boost mood, and enhance mental clarity. The contrast between the two helps stimulate recovery and regulate the nervous system. For sources and deeper reading, head to the Science section of our website.
Absolutely. Hot & Cold is designed with beginners in mind. Each pod is completely private, so you can move at your own pace with no pressure or audience. There’s an emergency alarm beside the cold plunge for extra peace of mind, and if you’d feel more comfortable with support, you can book a dual session and bring a friend along.
You may cancel your Hot & Cold session free of charge if you give more than 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations made within 24 hours of your appointment will incur a £10 fee. However, we offer a two-hour grace period after booking during which you can cancel at no cost, regardless of when your session is scheduled. If you prefer, you can also reschedule your session any time up until the 24-hour cancellation window.
The Hot Stone Sauna is the traditional Finnish experience, with stones heated in our case with an electric heater, radiating heat to bring the cabin to a maximum of 99 degrees celsius. The hot stones are just that, very hot, do not touch them under any circumstances and be careful not to leave your towel or any objects where they could touch the stones.
Scented water is provided to produce steam, this should only be applied when the sauna temp displayed on the top right of the control panel is above 80 degrees and should be applied no more than one spoonfull every 3-5 minutes.
Adding water to the hot stones does bring the overall temperature down, as cold water cools hot objects, so although you’ll feel warmer in the temporary hit of steam, you are cooling the sauna down overall.
