I don't usually bother leaving reviews but this place was fab! So friendly and professional and bent over backwards to accommodate. Also a very clean and beautiful venue that smelt amazing! Hadn't been before as it's a bit out of the way for me but I'll definitely go back!

I've had a few different treatments at The Retreat and each one has been carried out with care. The girls are all increadabley friendly and professional. It's always a joy to visit. I'm quite fussy when it comes to cleanliness and I can't fault this place. I'd say it's the best one in Eastbourne. You won't be disappointed.

This was my first time and I will definitely be back. Sherri was very welcoming and friendly. It has a very calming and relaxing atmosphere. It is great to have colour on my toes again. Now going to browser the web site to decide what else I am going to have

Sherri is great and offers a friendly atmosphere. All treatments are explained clearly and delivered professionally. Good choice/stock oc products but not pushy sales. Only if you ask will they engage in selling additional items.

I have been going to the Retreat for about 4 years now. It is such a tranquil setting and you are treated so well. I have seen most of the therapists and they are all very professional yet friendly and make you feel totally at ease. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone.

I've been going to The Retreat on a regular basis for facials for the last three or so years and I'm always so impressed with how I'm looked after ... It's like being in a cosy bubble!
The staff are all dedicated to what they do and are always sympathetic, well informed and helpful to me with my dodgy skin which they work miracles with!
Thank you so much.

I had two different treatments here this week by Emma and Sherri and both were amazing. As a whole everyone was extremely friendly and it was a really relaxed environment especially for a guy. Would 100% recommend The Retreat to anybody wanting a treatment.
