    Nothing to add, i really could not find any fault

    relaxing, serene and quiet. The food was amazing!!From breakfast to supper- made with love, healthy and fresh! The check out time is late not your usual early check out. The staff is very helpful and friendly. If you want time to unwind and recharge - this is your spot! The facilities were also of good quality and helpful. It’s also very safe.

    That I had to leave

    An oasis in the city. Every detail is designed to bring calm and presence. It was a very special stay...and all while on business. Sometimes, a place just has a spirit that is special

    I loved my room, so spacious and beautifully decorated. The staff was very professional and helpful. Also loved the meals. And wow it's definitely a retreat you even get a daily schedule with all activities you will do in the day. The garden is so beautiful and peaceful.

    Everything about this is exceptional. I've stayed at world-class resorts, and although this isn't listed as such, it most certainly qualifies. Quiet luxury, supple bedding, idyllic views, memorable meals and a team that made me feel simultaeously awed, welcomed home, and that my dream life is now. Allow ample time to enjoy the many and varied amenities ... and yourself.

    A real relaxing treat and escape!

    The establishment is mostly wooden floors and the walls are thin, so, whether it's people talking downstairs, or it's music playing in another guest's room, sound travels easily, which can be disturbing when you're trying to sleep. Another thing is, if your room is close to the landing area upstairs, the scent of cooked food travels from the kitchen right up to your room so that too can be a disturbance.

    The friendly and supportive staff. The food is freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! Unlimited access to the flotation pool and sauna is priceless! The garden that is beautifully kept, made for a relaxing and therapeutic experience. The yoga room and the pool, just great! The fact that they have spa treatment rooms! Oxford Healthcare Retreat Centre is truly a place to come relax, heal and restore. It's perfect for anyone wishing to escape! I felt so blessed.
