"The Most Glorious Place to Recharge" – PJ Powers on Oxford Healthcare Retreat

The Oxford Healthcare Retreat is the most glorious place to de-stress and recharge your batteries. It’s unique in that it offers talk therapy, nutritional guidance as well as the regular spa therapies. The floatation therapy is amazing, reflexology and massage too – one could really fill your time here or choose to be really quiet and just be.

A beautiful and relaxing stay with excellent food, great facilities, and outstanding cleanliness

The stay was absolutely wonderful. The food was excellent and really stood out throughout our visit. We also loved the additional facilities like the pool, the saltwater hot pool, and the steam room – these made the experience feel extra special. Everything was exceptionally clean and very well maintained, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived.

Peace and tranquility

From the moment you walk through the door you can feel the calming energy. The setting is stunning, peace and tranquility. Any stress you are feeling will melt away in moments. The staff are beautiful, very welcoming, kind and you can feel that they love being a part of a retreat that is just bliss. The food was made with love, with consideration as I do not eat meat and there are a few things I can not have. I have been met with smiles and kindness and as this is a birthday celebration, into a new decade this has been a great start. Both myself and my husband have indulged in some treatments whilst we have been here. The aromatherapy massage was a great start to our arrival. The shiatsu journey has helped in many ways both physically and emotionally. The kahuna massage was stunning and relaxing. Today we both had reiki. Just beautiful, I feel now I am aligned and feel a better version of myself. All therapists were professional, knowledgeable and we had such a lovely experience. There is also a floatation pool and a steam room. The garden has been tendered with such love. So if you want luxury, in a beautiful and peaceful space with caring people, I would highly recommend this experience for you.

Emmaculate reception, warm and calm staff. Tranquil atmosphere 24 hours. I managed to sleep and recover from burnout that was physically and psychologically devastating.

Special Haven

This has been a special haven I never expected. What with wonderful accommodation, views of the magnificent gardens and big trees. The retreat overfilled my expectations. It is a special haven I would return to with glee. What with five star accommodation and charming staff and the most beautiful gardens. I enjoyed all of the activities and feel they were very beneficial. It has been a perfect, serene place to be. I will return without doubt if I need to and my family will agree. It couldn’t be better.
