PAUS

PAUS. FOR THOUGHT Inspired by the Scandinavian philosophy of balance, body and mind, this outdoor experience is unmissable. Whether it is for a moment of peace to reflect on life, catch up with friends or colleagues or spend some time romantically with a glass of fizz, there is a moment to behold for everyone. PAUS. is family run and partners Alexandra and Bart have created something magical for the mind, body and soul and have been on a journey ever since. Having experienced a single wood-fired, red cedar hot tub at a holiday resort, they were intrigued with the concept and quickly realised the benefits. This intrigue became a reality with the purchase of a single facility, but it was when they gained interest from music festivals that they saw the bigger opportunity, which led to them expanding and creating PAUS.

RE - Picture this; You exit your car, and from this moment it is like you are taking a journey of transformation. You walk through an archway, up onto the hill where the bathing site and bistro slowly emerge on the horizon. Enter the world of PAUS. CON Set up on a hillside in the stunning Cambridgeshire countryside, you are greeted with the warmth of a familiar welcome which is largely lost in our modern day, transactional society. With the steam and smoke gently curling upwards from the all natural, red cedar tubs, you are led to the changing facilities and your host explains what to expect from the experience. Changed into your swimwear, NECT you proceed with an expectation and excitement towards the hilltop bathing tubs and sauna. As you gently slide in, you can take the time to relax and breathe then you’re greeted by a team member who takes your drinks order and checks that the temperature is just right for you. You have a range of refreshing alcoholic or non alcoholic drinks to WITH choose from, along with a jug of fresh water to keep you balanced and hydrated. Are you bold enough for the cold? Experiencing the cold pool is highly encouraged, especially after raising your body temperature in the hot tub and sauna. When you are ready, you can stride into the centre and compose yourself before submerging into the refreshing water. The health benefits of this NA include relieving muscle soreness, helping to aid sleep and even helping to alleviate depression. To benefit the most, guests should alternate between the hot and cold facilities several times. TURE

LET YOUR BODY REGEN ERATE.

By now, the zen feeling of PAUS will have taken over and any stresses or worries that you arrived with, will have long melted away. From the tone of voice of the staff, to the abundance of wild nature surrounding you and the comforting scent of warm wood, the whole place is skillfully crafted to envoke peace and tranquility and it truly nourishes your soul.

When your time in the bathing area comes to an end, we recommend that you keep your shoes off and make your way over to the barefoot meadow walk. Throughout the walk, there are purpose made sections, with all manner of surfaces to explore. The STONES team favourites were the oozey, thick mud and the soft, warm hay. The health advantages of walking barefoot or ‘earthing’ are remarkable and it’s a wonderful way to re-connect with nature.

Once you have returned from your walk and washed off of your feet, it is time to enjoy the view from the newly built decking at the bistro, and reflect on your time spent at PAUS. A variety of drinks, home baked cakes and fresh food are on offer, with an emphasis on using ingredients grown in their very own vegetable garden. The pizza oven is fired up every Thursday evening, for pizza and wine night and we could not think of a better way to wrap up the experience.

Rustic, charming, unique, sensual, inspiring and rejuvenating.
