What to Expect During Your First Visit to Lochar Mill

If you’ve never visited Lochar Mill Wellness, you might wonder what to expect. Our retreat is private, peaceful, and intentionally simple — and every guest is welcomed with warmth.

Arrival

You’ll arrive to a quiet space by the river. We’ll greet you and show you around: the infrared sauna, the cold water pod, the relaxation areas, and the Hygge Hut. You’ll have the whole place to yourself (or your group). We have toilet facilities, filtered water to top you up and a cosy changing room.

Your Session

There’s no rush. You can begin with the sauna or the cold dip — or just take a moment to breathe and settle. You’ll have time to use the outdoor shower, relax with tea, and move at your own pace. If you decide to try the cold water you will be fully guided through the process - correct breathing technique, safe entry in and out of the water and maybe some banter (ahem) to make your few minutes in the water go quicker!

You’re encouraged to grab your slippers, robe-wrapped, quiet or chatty — whatever feels most natural. This is your space.

Afterward

Many guests finish with a slow cup of tea in the Hygge Hut or wrapped in a blanket by the river. The space is yours until your session ends — and we hope you’ll leave feeling more connected, more grounded, and more alive.

Book your session today and join us for some relaxation and rejuvenation by the river. And if you have any questions or concerns before booking - please get in touch.
