An Unforgettable Proposal Weekend at The Oxford Belfry Hotel & Spa! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My partner and I stayed at The Oxford Belfry Hotel & Spa for the weekend of January 31st – February 1st, 2026, and I can confidently say it was one of the most magical experiences we've had. I had planned to propose during our stay, and I reached out to the hotel beforehand to see if there was anything they could do to make our weekend extra special. Little did I know, they went above and beyond my expectations! Upon arrival, we were blown away that they had upgraded us to one of their stunning suites, complete with a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for us. The moment we walked into the room, we were struck by the luxury, space, and sheer comfort it offered. The suite was beautifully appointed with soft, comfortable bedding and refreshing room amenities. The high-quality soaps and hand creams provided in the bathroom were a lovely touch. The service throughout the weekend was excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel like valued guests. Whether it was checking us in or helping with any requests, everyone was eager to ensure we had the best possible experience. Dining at the Spires Restaurant was also a highlight of our stay. The food options were varied, and everything we tried was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were great—attentive without being intrusive. We did encounter a minor issue with the electrical mains in our room after midnight, and there was a slight drip from one of the fixtures. However, we informed reception the next morning, and the staff resolved the issue quickly and with no fuss. It was a small blip on an otherwise flawless experience. The breakfast the next morning was also outstanding, with plenty of options ranging from a hearty full English to lighter continental choices. There was no shortage of beverages either, and everything was of excellent quality. Overall, our weekend at The Oxford Belfry was nothing short of magical. The team went out of their way to make this proposal weekend unforgettable, and we will forever cherish the memories. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. A huge thank you to the entire team for making this special moment even more remarkable! We’ll certainly be returning in the future!
Massage was fantastic!
The massage spa itself is great. I had a deep tissue massage from Brenda and she was very respectful, calming, kind and knowledgeable. The massage packages are reasonably priced and the rooms are super clean. I would recommend this to everyone who needs a massage.
Very relaxing with yummy food
The hotel and facilities are really lovely and clean. I had a massage with Bindita and it was incredible.. very different and super relaxing. There was a large event on while we were visiting which meant we did wait quite a while for our food, but the staff were great in keeping us informed and got us a drink while we waited.
4 starts out of five
I stayed over the weekend and everything was great. The massage therapist was excellent. The only two aspects I wish had been better were the restaurant’s food selection and the absence of a jacuzzi bathtub — with those, I would have rated it 5 out of 5. Overall, I am very happy with the whole experience.
Fantastic Massage done by Brenda
Lovely experience on massage today with Brenda
Relaxing spa

Massage and relaxing day
Brenda was brilliant I had a lovely massage . Highly recommend. Will be back in July for a ladies group visit thank you The hotel and facilities are lovely and friendly staff
Just the place for relaxing
Went away to celebrate Valentine's Day. On arrival found our room had been upgraded which was a nice surprise. The room itself was lovely & the staff polite & friendly. Found the rooms a bit confusing to get to but once worked out was ok. The lift however was very temperamental. Found the staff in the restaurant & bar not very attentive but once got their attention was ok. Thought the bar could have been open later for hotel guests. Couldn't believe that drinks we asked for did not have - Tia Maria or any coffee liquor & Baileys. The Madri & Southern Comfort also ran out! Food in the restaurant lovely except that at breakfast the eggs ran out so we were advised to sit back at our table. When we went back they had all gone been taken by other guests just arrived so we had to go without! Went to a local pub/restaurant on Valentine's night & couldn't believe the price of the taxi - less than a 5 minute ride & cost £10 going & £15 coming back! Overall a nice & relaxing 2-night stay.
Valentines stay
We stayed for Valentines night, the room was very nice and spacious. We had treatments by Brenda and Rita who were both very friendly and the treatment scrub was great. Only disapointing thing was the evening meal, they only had a set menu with 4 choices for main and they had run out of the steak, we were unable to order from the bar menu, so settled for something that we did not really want and the service was very slow, got our own drinks from the bar before was asked at our table, received our starter an hour after being seated. Starter of scallops was overpriced at £14 for two scallops but it all tasted very nice. The location and surroundings were great. I would recommend but not for a valentines visit it didnt feel very special.
Weekend away
Recently stopped at the oxford belfry which was a very good choice. Rooms very spacious, spa was excellent and the restaurant food was very tasty. Lovely surroundings throughout. Staff where very friendly and helpful, overall would definitely recommend.
Sal on reception
Sal on reception was amazing! Lovely rooms too. Will be back :)
Friends and Family Stay
Great deal including dinner the first night, a bottle of wine, and bed and breakfast all included. The rooms were clean and spacious, with a nice walk-in shower. All the food was of an excellent standard, and all the staff were helpful, especially Kirsty in the restaurant on our first night. Shame you only had one staff member dedicated to serving at the bar all evening, which lead to long queues at times, stressing the young lady behind the bar, and the customers.
Thank You
We stayed as part of the Cotswold Soul Weekender and this was the first time the event was held at this hotel. The staff were exceptional and couldn't do enough to ensure we were all looked after. One suggestion would be tip jars on the bars as they worked their socks off!
Standout star - Victoria in the spa
We stayed here for one night with their spa and dinner package. The dinner & breakfast were delicious and everything was clean & staff were so willing to help. But the standout star was Victoria in the spa - I had a shoulders, neck, and back massage and it was fantastic. She was so lovely and made me feel so comfortable. The massage was absolutely phenomenal I will definitely come back.
Massage with Jo in the Spa
Had a massage in the Spa with Jo, she was utterly brilliant! Best back, shoulder and neck massage I’ve ever had. Also gave great tips for self-care and relaxation. Couldn’t recommend enough, will definitely be back! Hotel in general was lovely, great food and excellent staff.
Soul Weekender Event at Oxford Belfry
I would like to compliment every member of staff for their friendliness and helpfulness at the recent Soul weekend event at the hotel. Everything was excellent, rooms, food, assistance and if I could give 6 out 5 I would. A big thank you to you all. Michael
Cotswold Soul 2026. Will stay again.
This was our first visit to this hotel and our experience was absolutely fantastic from the moment we arrived. Reception staff were really helpful and from there on in every member of staff could not do enough to help. Rooms were clean and spacious with good facilities and nice big beds. The restaurant staff were great on all the occasions we visited over the weekend and the food was lovely with a good choice every time. We used the spa pool and sauna while we were there which was a nice addition to our weekend, my wife also managed to have a massage in the Spa on Sunday. On a personal level my experience was made special by every member of staff I interacted with over the weekend including cleaners, bar staff, receptionists, catering and the lovely cleaning managers who were carrying out their audit on Sunday morning who stopped to chat and make sure everything was ok . I must mention that I spoke several times to a lovely lady called Ali who was waitressing in the reception area lounge during Saturday and again in the restaurant on Sunday morning. She was so happy and friendly yet professional at all times, she asked us if everything was ok with our stay and to let her know if there was anything she could do, she made us feel special and also commented on what a nice crowd of people we were with. We had only booked to stay on Friday and Saturday night however we then extended our stay to include the Sunday night too. Although we were there for an event I would not hesitate to stay there again in the future and will recommend the hotel to friends and family.
