Introducing the new Wellness Barn at Soho Farmhouse

Nestled in 100 acres of countryside, Soho Farmhouse is a sanctuary for city dwellers and locals alike. With open fires, cosy cabins the House and its grounds – complete with rolling acres to explore and even some pygmy goats – have always offered an escape from the stresses of everyday life. If you thought this rural oasis couldn’t get more relaxing, think again, because our new Wellness Barn has just been added into the mix.
 
Located just a short stroll from the existing spa, the Barn features two additional treatment rooms, a dedicated Wellness Studio, three invigorating ice baths – a first at the House – and a soothing ozone sauna pod.

The ice baths are situated on the barn’s wooden deck, offering members views of the surrounding woodland as they’re guided safely through the experience by our experts. The benefits of cold plunging have been shown to include improvements to immunity, focus, and metabolism, but it doesn’t pay to rush it. With temperatures kept strictly between 3°C to 6°C/ 37°F to 42°F, first-time users are encouraged to stay in the bath for a maximum of 60 seconds, while more experienced users might immerse themselves in the water for up to three minutes at a time. 
 
In the spirit of all things wellness, we’ve also moved our ozone sauna pod over to the new sanctuary. Using a combination of steam, infrared, and ozone therapies, a stint in one of these is said to help improve circulation, remove toxins and free radicals, and generally help you reset. To enhance the treatment's benefits, we recommend following your session with a quick dip in one of the barn’s cold plunge pools.
 
And that’s not all. Some of our most relaxing classes – including yoga, mat Pilates and meditation – will now take place in the barn’s dedicated Wellness Studio, with Reformer Pilates classes joining this programming soon. By creating a dedicated area for these types of classes, members are able to fully immerse themselves in the relaxation of the Wellness Barn, from the moment they step into it, to the moment they leave.
