Fancy a dip, or a relaxing sauna session with friends?

Private hire of the Pentillie outdoor swimming pool & sauna!

Tucked away in a peaceful and idyllic walled garden, the Pentillie pool and sauna offer the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and enjoy quality time with friends or family.

The pool and sauna are available exclusively to members of the Friends of Pentillie scheme. However, becoming a member is easy – you can join for a full year, six months, or simply take out a day membership to enjoy the facilities on a one-off visit.

Members enjoy exclusive private use of the solar-heated outdoor pool (open mid-April to end of September) and the year-round sauna on selected dates each month.

Whether you're after a refreshing swim or a peaceful sauna session, the Pentillie pool garden is your private oasis.
