Holistic Experience at Logie Newton Farm
Wellness on an Aberdeenshire hillside
Outdoor sauna and cold plunge experience
Traditional Wood-Fired Sauna and Cold Plunge
Imagine a cocooning warmth, invigorating coolness, with rolling fields of farmland, and the distinctive silhouette of Bennachie
For six weekends only, October to March
FOR YOUR HOUR’S THERAPY IN THE COUNTRY
750 acres of farmland views with a physical, mental and sensory experience that lets you really feel everything
As a family that has lived and worked at Logie Newton Farm for six generations, we know how special this little slice of Aberdeenshire is.
There is the view that goes on (and on, and on). There are stunning changes of light through the seasons (most awe-inspiring in late autumn through to early spring). There is history in the ancient stone circles and mysterious standing stones at a Roman camp on the hill.
And it’s a beauty that has to be experienced to be believed.
So we’d go as far as to say our farmland vista is therapeutic in itself. It’s why we chose the hillside site of Kirk Hill on the farm to situate our luxury lodges and offer adventure, experiences and more right here on the farm.
But combining our breathtaking location with an authentic wood-fired sauna and cold water tub is another form of therapy that will take your breath away and let you feel every sensation (in all the best ways).
Spend an hour on our Aberdeenshire hillside and allow your body to remember how to rest
