Brass Monkey Ice Baths

My Luxurious Garden Escape!

I couldn’t be happier with my barrel outdoor sauna—it has completely transformed both my garden and my evening routine.

The craftsmanship is outstanding, with beautifully finished wood, a solid structure and an aesthetically pleasing design that makes the sauna look visually striking whilst having a practical layout too.

The curved barrel shape adds real character to my garden. It’s not just a sauna; it’s a true focal point that has elevated my entire outdoor space. It heats up quickly (in around 45 minutes) distributing warmth evenly inside.

In practical terms, my barrel sauna has proven to be a fantastic investment. Running costs have been very reasonable, working out at approximately £3 per session. Beyond that, the benefits to relaxation, wellbeing, and overall lifestyle have been outstanding. For example an unsightly cold sore completely disappeared after just two sauna sessions which otherwise would have taken a few weeks to heal.

A special thanks goes to Abdullan Yaqoob for his exceptional support from start to finish—nothing was ever too much trouble. He patiently answered all my many questions and even arranged for me to visit a previously installed sauna, which was incredibly helpful in making my decision.

Finally, I’d like to thank the installation team, who worked tirelessly—even in the snow—to have the sauna fully assembled in just seven hours. Their dedication and professionalism were truly impressive.

This sauna has genuinely elevated my home and wellbeing, and I'm delighted to recommend Hercales.

Well done Keith and the team credit were credit is due

Well what can I say. From my first enquiry through to installation and commissioning the experience of purchasing this High Quality product from Heracleswellness has been great!. When I spoke to Keith initially I was impressed with his friendly, Knowledgeable and professional manner he answered all my questions and sorted a rapid delivery of my selected Sauna kit. After watching the instructional build video i opted to have their team of experts do the build for me ( in hindsight a good choice and I consider it money well spent to optimise the build quality of the product.) Paval and his installation team arrived promptly and I found them to be a very professional and skillful bunch of lads. They worked Efficiently and left the work area on my patio clean and tidy. This is a 5 star product and a 5 star company in my opinion and I would happily recommend them to anybody in the market for this type of product
Thanks lads

Really pleased with both the Sauna and Installation. Quality is far superior to others we looked at.

The Sauna looks incredible. The sales team were the most responsive people that I’ve bought something from in this country. The installation team were second to none - kind, friendly, keen to tell me about everything and ensure all was well with me.
I shopped around a lot and I also think Heracles are best value for money. If you are wondering weather or not to go for it then I irrefutably recommend you do! I’ve added a picture of the team in action. I laid the African railroad sleepers which is a perfect and good looking base.

It arrived faster than I had expected. It came well packed on the back of a large lorry and put on my drive.
It took 2 of us 4 days to put together and the instructions were mostly ok. For the part we weren’t sure on, the flue, we were able to get help from the head office.
It is made from high quality materials and looks great. The timber has been pre-treated which saved me time.
Overall I am very pleased with everything.

I could not be happier with my Camilla sauna from Heracles.
I had been researching for quite some time until I found Heracles and placed my order largely based on the fantastic reviews.
But the true test of a business is when things go wrong - as they did for me, with the installation by a 3rd party contractor.
Keith monitored the whole process and not only alerted me to the issues before I had chance to complain but stepped in with his team to make sure the job was completed without compromise to both his standards or my total satisfaction.
Pavel and his highly experienced, knowledgable & efficient team left no stone unturned in ensuring this.
Electrics (already installed) were connected as they left and I was in the sauna, something like 10 hours after they arrived - fantastic.

I could not be more happier with my sauna and my choice of supplier, thank you Kieth - look no further than Heracles, you will not go wrong.

From my initial interest I asked Keith and Abdullah many questions as I was looking at other products. They always gave me quick answers and were always professional. I was unsure about the cost of using the installation team and had further worries when I had problems with my bank allowing me to pay them! Keith took control and sorted it. The team arrived at 9.15am in the rain and did not finish until 9.15PM and they worked so hard. Really friendly and professional , I have to say worth every £. After installation the electrical installation and set up was not straight forward but again Abdullah was on hand to resolve the issues. Now up and running the product is quality and I am so pleased that I decided to buy a Heracles Sauna:)

If you are considering purchasing a sauna, then look no further than Heracles Wellness saunas, I cannot recommend this company enough-the customer service was exceptional from start to finish. The quality of all the components from the interior to the exterior are first class and made to a very high standard.
With the exception of the electrics, which took half a day, a carpenter with myself fetching, holding and brewing it took us 1-1/2 days to build.
We’ve now been using it for 3 weeks and we cannot believe just how good it is, there isn’t one negative thing I can say about it, or the company, it has exceeded our expectations and we set very high standards in quality and customer service. Once again don’t look any further these are the real deal. Thank you !

Great custom service, I contacted Keith regarding a couple of queries before committing to buy, whom got back to me the same evening (sunday). The kit arrived really quick, packaged very securely, via a flat bed truck and was easy to assemble following the instructions. Had a couple of minor things during assembly but nothing common sense couldn't sort ! Had the sauna now for a few weeks and we really love it. It heats up in about 20mins and holds the heat very well. The heater seems to be of good quality as do the lights. I had looked at various other companies and I'm very glad I choose this one, highly recommended 👌

We could not be happier with our purchase. We have wanted a home sauna for a while but space and cost was always a sticking point. Infrared was an option as these tend to be smaller in size but we really wanted that traditional sauna heat feeling so the Camilla Mini was the absolutely ideal size. When shopping around we found other companies would appear competitive but the timber would be a lower grade like fir wood or thinner. Then other companies would offer a smaller heater which was our biggest concern - pointless having a traditional sauna if it takes ages to heat up. Then when you try and add lighting (which is a must to give it that premium feel) the price goes up even further. I then came across this Camilla Mini complete kit which is a fantastic price but the product itself is so good. I pre ordered the product which arrived on time, i choose to build myself with a family member who is a qualified joiner, it does take time but is straight forward enough to build, all in all it took us just over 2 1/2 days to build and treat with 2 coats of oil. As you can see from the images we choose to flip which side the heater goes as I wanted all the cables hidden to the side facing the house so the side facing the garden looks clean and smart. I then had a qualified electrician fit all the electrics, which again is straight forward if you have easy access to your main board but does take time to run all the armoured cable (try and pre book your electrician with your delivery as you'll want to use it straight away). Using the product is brilliant, the heater is very easy to use and takes approx. 15mins to get to 80 degrees and 25 mins to get to 100+ degrees (this is when used in the month of December), the sauna holds heat really well and we've had 3 people comfortably on the top bench. I would highly recommend this product and the pre sale and after sale help from Keith and Abdullah has been brilliant.

Our Leil Black Cube Sauna has exceeded our expectations in every way. We wanted a sauna which blended with our garden setting, to provide spa like quality without crowding our outdoor space. It's elegant compact design is spacious enough on the inside to fully recline, whilst occupying a relatively small footprint. It's sleek, black exterior has allowed it to blend in with both our vegetation and existing structures.
The smoked glass windows allow us privacy whilst being able to enjoy all the benefits of our garden scenery. The interior is so comfortable we are already doubling up its use as a winter garden room, where we can enjoy observing visiting wildlife which remains oblivious to our presence.
We have opted for the HUUM heater which achieves temperature in under 30 minutes, even when its close to freezing outdoors. The heat is so even it matches anything we have experienced in specialised spa resorts, and the compact design means that half a ladle of water from the elegant bucket supplied, brings an instant zing to the whole cabin. The adjustable LEDs enhance the ambiance of the idyllic Sauna experience.
The installation process was no less pleasing. Keith and Abdullah were so easy and pleasant to deal with. They have constantly checked on my satisfaction, and helped me through all the installation process with several hints and tips. The mechanical installation team were a delight, and negotiated our narrow and inticrate entrance without fuss. A team of three worked tirelessly from dawn until dusk to complete the process in one long day. They were so pleasant, and the handover was simplified by a thorough supplied checklist.
One part of the installation which is seperate, and should not be underestimated (in price or time) is the electrics. It took 2 engineers several hours, just to wire the sauna, and it also needs a seperate supply from the mains unit, which is also a substantial activity. Fortunately Heracles supply a list of experienced electricians which allow for a more efficient and quality process.
It is also easy to overlook the foundations, and I nearly did! Our garden is on a slope and normal foundations would have been costly and time consuming. So at the last minute, I chose to employ ground screws. I was lucky to discover a company called 'No more digging'. They too were a delight to work with, and they interacted with Heracles to produce an unobtrusive substructure, that they prebuilt. This meant the entire foundation was installed inside 90 minutes at a very reasonable cost!!
This option which impressed the Heracles team, has the bonus of maintaining excellent air circulation underneath the sauna, but does raise its height such that a step access needs to be factored in.
Don't just take our word for it, but our son and daughters are visiting more regularly to enjoy the delights of this health enhancing garden Sauna. We all agree on the high quality of the Sauna aesthetics and practicality.
For anyone considering a similar venture I can thoroughly recommend Heracles Wellness and the Leil Black Cube Sauna.
Thank you Keith and the teams, this has been an unexpectedly pleasurable experience.

Here is the picture

I had been researching saunas for my garden and came across Hercules wellness. Reading the reviews I decided this was the company I definitely wanted to go with them, plus the fact that they did the choice of sauna and heaters that I wanted.
From first contact I was not disappointed and the service has been brilliant from initial enquiry to purchase and then install. Any questions I had were answered and all information supplied was fantastic.
The installation team were so efficient, polite and absolutely were experts in their field. In addition to putting up my wonderful sauna, they helped my electrician with guidance & a few tips, which was much appreciated.
The sauna itself and 6kw spirit heater I’m so pleased with, it’s been a brilliant purchase from brilliant company.
Thank you to you all and to the install team.

Apologies it had taken so long to send you this message.

We have been delighted with our sauna and our experience with yourselves has been perfect from day 1. We were initially apprehensive about the speed of delivery and we should not been concerned, as I recall the kit arrived within a couple of weeks. You advocate the use of your team of builders to construct the sauna and having built it as a kit, this I fully understand. You need to be experienced and confident to undertake yourself. That said the quality of the components was excellent and no single element caused concern.

You will be unsurprised to hear our only issue was getting the electrician back to finally connect it to the bespoke power supply we had already had installed.

Thank you again, great kit and lovely sauna.
