Sponsored Post | Take the Plunge with Blackdown Shepherd Huts

Iona Bower June 21, 2024


Combining fire and ice, Blackdown Shepherd Huts’ Sauna & Cold Plunge Deck provides a wellbeing boost, all under the stars

Always championing the great outdoors, Blackdown Shepherd Huts has once again created a unique wellbeing experience that will undoubtedly awaken the senses thanks to its latest addition – the Blackdown Sauna & Cold Plunge Deck.

The benefits of saunas are well-documented, with many believing they not only cleanse the body but the mind, too, helping to promote a sense of inner peace. While Cold Water Therapy also has a raft of benefits, from boosting general wellbeing, immunity and circulation, to helping lower inflammation and blood pressure.

Enjoying the outdoors has always been part of the Blackdown brand, and founder William Vickery has long aspired to build a sauna and cold plunge combination. 2023 saw the opportunity to get those ideas down onto paper and into the workshop, and the resulting LED starlit deck, Urban Ice Tribe plunge bath and sauna has been a real hit.

Built to Finnish standards, utilising certified Finnish materials, the Sauna & Cold Plunge Deck features a covered outside space, which offers both protection from the elements when you emerge from the sauna, while the LED starlit ceiling transforms it into a beautiful evening seating area. And if you’re not quite brave enough for the plunge bath option, you can always add a wood-burner to the deck instead, or indeed, any other accessories to suit your requirements.

Ideal for any glamping or hotel experience – or perhaps simply a wonderful addition to your own back garden – the Sauna & Cold Plunge Deck comfortably seats four to six people with the actual sauna measuring 8ft x 6ft 6”. However, for a more compact solution, Blackdown also offers a two-person sauna with the same commitment to quality as any of its other shepherd huts.

So no matter whether you’re a sauna stalwart or a brave cold water faithful, there’ll be no blowing hot or cold over the benefits and craftsmanship that Blackdown’s latest creation provides.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
