Tranquil Retreat! Its so special and secluded, just what any woman needs to put her hair down and relax. Would especially recommend for hijabi women who struggle to find places that offer this service. I stayed there for my 50th birthday with my sisters. We loved the luxury of having such huge grounds to ourselves. We all spent time getting our selves pampered by the amazing therapists. I had Genia for a Lymphatic Drainage massage, Deep Cleanse Facial and Pedicure. Her knowledge of Multiple Sclerosis and Pre Menopause was more than my professional Neurologist or GP. Simply because she took the time to understand my symptoms and offer me practical advise. She used this knowledge to adapt the treatments in the best way for me. Staying at Elysium Grove not only nourishes your body but helps mend your soul. With the stay you have free access at any time to both the hot tub & Sauna. My favourite break to date!

Thoroughly enjoyed a lovely, long weekend at Elysium Grove in this hidden gem of a property. Large grounds and country surroundings for exploring by bike or walking. The property was scrupulously clean with good facilities including use of a hot tub and sauna. Calm and serene for a break and some much needed rest and relaxation, yet close enough to some great local pubs and supermarkets a walk or short drive/bike ride away. Elysium Grove has as a bonus, a great on site therapist for some spa pampering (extra via bookings). Host Francesca was down to earth, lovely, helpful and very responsive. Met us to check in and orientated us to property. Definitely recommend Elysium Grove if you want some peace and quiet away from it all.

My mum found this gem when we were looking for a place to get away and do a "digital Detox" for a few days. The place turned even better than we expected! The Retreat - the house - where we stayed is big, cozy and has everything you need, including so many games that you definitely won't get bored. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped, the beanbags very cozy. There was lots of light as all rooms have floor to ceiling windows that open as doors. We had access to our own hot tub and sauna at any point and there is a range of treatments available. We both had a combination massage and Ginia, the therapist, was phenomenal. There is also option to have catering, which we chose for one evening - the food was ready for us in the fridge and all we had to do was heat it up - delicious and healthy. Francesca, the host, was super friendly, helpful and responsive from the minute we made the booking ensuring a smooth stay. Thank you for a lovely two days and we look forward to coming back!

This is a hidden gem. It’s so quiet and peaceful. Lovely to wake up to birds singing, pheasants pottering around the amazing grounds. The facilities are fantastic and immaculately clean.

Booking at Elysium Grove was easy with a quick, friendly response from Fran. Fran sent Instructions on how to set up the app for bookings and directions on how to get there. Elysium Grove is lovely—set in a quiet, beautiful location that made me feel relaxed the moment I arrived. My therapist, Genia, was amazing. She took the time to talk through what I wanted from the lymphatic drainage massage, went over my health history in detail, and explained step by step what she was doing and why. It made the whole experience feel very personalised and reassuring. After the session, Genia even sent a follow-up email with recommendations and helpful suggestions to add to my daily routine. I felt genuinely cared for from start to finish and would highly recommend checking out their website to see what they have to offer and I will be back for a follow up massage.

Our Story

Our Story

Elysium Grove was created as a peaceful place where women can step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with themselves.

Founded by Francesca and John Kyriacou, the retreat grew from a deeply personal understanding of how important rest, emotional support and holistic wellbeing can be during life’s most challenging periods.

Our aim is simple: to offer women a calm, private and welcoming environment where they can stay overnight, enjoy carefully chosen treatments or visit simply for time to breathe.
