Naturally Slad
Slad, Stroud, Gloucestershire, England
A private naturist garden in the Slad Valley opens on selected dates with a heated exercise pool, hot tubs and an infrared sauna. Terraced lawns and wooded seating areas look out over the valley, with facilities arranged around the hosts’ Little Orchard home.
Nudity policy
Naturist garden; booked dates only
The hosts open their private garden to fellow naturists on selected advertised dates. Pool, sauna and hot-tub use are included in the published open-garden admission.
This is a private home outside the booked visits; do not arrive without a confirmed reservation.
Facilities
- Sauna: Small infrared sauna in the conservatory annex.
- Pool: Small heated indoor exercise pool with an aquajet; the operator gives a uniform depth of five feet.
- Showers: A shower is provided with the toilets and changing area.
- Jacuzzi: A covered patio hot tub and a separate wood-fired hot tub are described.
Tea, coffee and soft drinks can be purchased, and picnics are welcome. Parking is on verges outside the property, so is not classed as an on-site facility.
Access & visiting
Booking is essential because numbers are limited. The published 2026 open-garden admission was £15 per person, with accompanied under-16s free. Ask the hosts for the next available dates and current price; membership and an overnight stay are not required.
Age & supervision
Accompanied children under 16 are explicitly admitted free at the operator’s published open afternoons. Confirm the next naturist event date and any event-specific conditions before booking.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Seasonal selected dates; the latest published garden dates ran from May to September 2026. Dates for 2027 are not yet published; contact the hosts for future availability.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Approach Slad on the B4070 from Stroud towards Birdlip. The hosts describe Little Orchard as the last house on the left when leaving the village in that direction. Use the operator’s linked map point: the postcode alone does not bring sat-nav users to the house.
Parking
The hosts direct cars to the wide grass verges opposite and just beyond the property. Park at right angles to the road with the whole vehicle off the highway, and avoid obstructing neighbours. These are off-site verge spaces, not a dedicated venue car park.
Finding the naturist area
After a confirmed booking, meet Rod or Terry at Little Orchard for entry into the private garden. The pool is in the conservatory; sauna, shower and changing are in an annex, with one hot tub on the house patio and another above in the woodland garden.
Where naturism applies
Naturist use is within the hosted private garden and facilities during the booked event. The B4070, public approach and adjoining woodland are not part of the advertised naturist garden.
