Papermill Sauna, Hidden Gem 💎 We went on Sunday and it was the perfect reset for the week ahead. Hosted by the lovely Mark and Debbie, this lakeside sauna offers peaceful surroundings and a deeply revitalising experience. The wood-fired heat followed by a plunge in the ice bath us me feeling totally refreshed. We even spotted wild geese and a kingfisher! Clean and comfortable changing rooms, beautifully run, and unforgettable — highly recommended. Thank you Sharon & Jeff

Papermill Sauna is so amazing you have to give it a go. Secretly tucked away in Swansea you’d never know it was here. Sauna has an amazing big glass window with view over a lake. Cold dip tank and ice bucket showers too. Clean and tidy changing rooms and the owners are so friendly!
