“Logjam sauna is a truly special place. We went with friends for a Sunday afternoon and left feeling so relaxed it was like we’d had a weekend away. The woods make it magical and Joc & Ian are the most wonderful hosts and really looked after us. I almost don’t want to leave a review as I want it to stay a secret.”
“Logjam is such a special sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend it. A group of 10 of us visited in June, for three blissful hours of sauna, plunge pools, chilling in hammocks in the orchard and exploring the gorgeous private woodland. Joc and Ian are the loveliest hosts, too — their homegrown and homemade goodies are the delicious icing on the cake. Thanks, we’ll be back soon!”
