“In our experience getting the morning cabin package was the best option, this allowed us to skip the queues and have our own space to change and shower. After seeing the unisex changing rooms it deffo showed us we made the right choice to pay a little more. The outdoor baths themselves were great, but did notice a smell in the indoor ones. Overall happy we chose to do the morning baths instead of the afternoon and would highly recommend getting a cabin.”
