The story
Made to switch off
A simple place for heat, cold and quiet — built in Castleblayney by Eamon Ward.

From the owner
“No noise, no fuss — just heat, cold and quiet.”
I started Orchard Sauna because I wanted a simple place to switch off.
Sauna and cold water helped my sore muscles and busy head. I built this space so you can get that same reset in your day.
Come in, take your time, move between sauna, ice bath and rest at your own pace. If you leave feeling a bit lighter and clearer, then it’s doing its job.

Sauna
Steady dry heat. You sweat, muscles soften and breath slows down. Our sauna usually sits somewhere between 70–100°C. It can vary.
Cold plunge
Sharp cold at first. Then it settles. Most people stay in for a short time, then step out and rest. Water is usually between 4–15°C, depending on the day.
Hot and cold together can help ease tired muscles, calm a busy mind and create a clear reset in your day. We don’t promise cures; we offer a simple space to look after yourself.
