You probably have anything you need to enjoy your visit, but we’ve complied a little list of key things to bring to your sauna:

• Suitable swimwear - please arrive wearing under clothes

• 1 x towel to sit on in the sauna

• 1 x towel to dry yourself

• Water bottle to stay hydrated

• Warm, weather appropriate clothing 

• A dry robe is a nice addition if you have one 

• Bag for wet gear afterward

• Bag for gear whilst in the sauna

• Easy on outdoor footwear (flip-flops, slider etc)

• Torch if your sauna is in the PM in the darker months

• Saved directions to our location as phone signal may not be available

If it’s your first visit we advise that you arrive with time on your side so you can find us at an easy pace. If you’re late to your session it’s unlikely we will be able to extend your appointment due to other bookings. Theres an epic waterfall close by that you can admire if you arrive early!

To prepare we ask that you:

• Arrive showered & hydrated

• Avoid heavy meals 2hrs before sauna

• Arrive with your swim suit on under your clothing for ease 

• Travel light and leave valuables at home

• Remove metal, jewellery and watches for your safety & to avoid damage

• Contact lens are recommended over glasses, glasses can be damaged by the heat plus they can steam up! 

• If you've booked on behalf of someone else or as a gift, be sure to share these details with them (you will receive full details via email - please forward them on)

• Let us know if you have asthma that is challenged by natural aromatics so we can avoid using these in the sauna for your stay with us

• Contact us in advance of booking if you have any mobility challenges or health issues which may be contraindicated with nature based sauna use.

Something that your satnav won’t tell you is that there is pretty but difficult to drive over pack bridge that is best to be avoided. It’s called Stainforth bridge and is on Dog Hill Brow. Do not go this way. Whilst worth seeing on foot, if your map tries to send you this way we recommend you choose an alternative route as it is exceptionally narrow and impassable in larger vehicles.

The best road to travel in on once you are in the area will be called Stainforth Lane. If arriving from Settle direction this will be via Stackhouse on the map, and on the Little Stainforth side of the river if travelling from the top.

If you grab a brew or a bite to eat at The Knights Table in Little Stainforth you can use the lower car park and will be parked close to the top of the campsite where we are based. We recommend this as they really do put on an amazing spread and have some of the best views in Yorkshire!

Alternatively, there is a car park a short scenic walk away in Stainforth. This is @ Main Rd, Stainforth, Settle BD24 9PQ. You'll need to allow 15/20 minutes on your journey to account for this scenic stroll. Have a look at the route on maps before hand incase you don’t have signal. 

If using the What 3 Words app, the sauna location is : remaking.primary.agreed

You’ll find us close to the most scenic riverside spot in the quaint village of Little Stainforth.

We are based at the bottom of the Knights Stainforth Hall Camping & Caravan Park, Little Stainforth, Settle, Yorkshire, BD24 0DN.

If arriving from the top of the hill in Little Stainforth you'll first come to and pass through the main entrance to the campsite (just down from the Knights Table restaurant) and marked by raising bollards/gates with a reception building on the left. 

Follow the road down straight through the campsite on foot until you reach a corner with an entrance to the residential part of the site on your right.

Ignore this, rounding the corner and continuing down the hill as if heading towards the woodland in front - sign posted as Foss Woods. Keeping to the road that rounds the corner by Foss Woods. Continue until you come to an open field. You're going the right way if you see that the statics are over the other side of the hedge on your right.

We're a stones throw from the banks of River Ribble. If you get lost or are coming from Stainforth village - there is a footpath that traces the bank of the river.

You'll pass Stainforth Force (a big waterfall). Follow the public footpath along the river side until you come to an open field where you should see the sauna and my car.
