This retreat is about enjoying the benefits of cold water immersion. The average sea temperatures in the Inner Hebrides during the winter months are a cool 7 degrees so our dips will be close to shore and no longer than 10 minutes.  You should be able to tread water and have some experience of cold water swimming.  Most of our swim spots are in sheltered coves with rocky outcrops that provide safe and exhilarating places to dip.  

On this retreat we enjoy darker skies, log burners and the affectionately known "Pottie Hottie" (a phrase coined by our winter dippers last year) where you alternate between 2-3 minute dips in Loch Pottie and the wood-fired hot tub! 

Other activities you can do while you're here are yoga, massage, guided walks and wildlife tours.  Not all of these activities are included in the price so please contact us for more details.

Please note when booking, if you get a message saying No Availability try reducing the number of tickets for that room and booking an additional room.
