About Combe Grove

Combe Grove is a sprawling,18th-century manor house in the Somerset countryside, and the UK’s first ever medical spa. Developed by scientists, including leading expert, Dr Campbell Murdoch, its programmes focus on improving metabolic health. The driving force behind how we store, use, and release fuel, it’s essential for maintaining balance within the body and our overall quality of life.

Combe Grove retreats are adults only, and designed for those looking for a transformational wellness getaway – one that results in measurable and sustainable health improvements. Even after returning home, guests are supported by a comprehensive one-year programme with ongoing care and guidance.

As for the estate itself? Cutting-edge diagnostics and therapies are par-for-the-course. You can also look forward to delicious, healthy meals developed by on-site nutritionists, comfortable rooms with views of the surrounding greenery, and plenty of peace and quiet.


Wellness at Combe Grove

Combe Grove’s comprehensive retreats are dedicated to improving metabolic health, with every treatment tailored to guest health requirements and led by experts in their field.

Through educational workshops, you’ll learn about the Five Roots of Metabolic Health – nutrition, movement, sleep, mindset and environment. There’s a wide range of other activities, too, such as yoga, meditation and cooking demos.

Wellness facilities include an indoor swimming pool, hydrotherapy bed, steam room, sauna, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, consultation rooms, fully equipped gym and exercise studio. Just so you know, all facilities and activities are open to local club members.

Before, during and after your visit

Before booking, you’ll have a consultation call with a nutritionist so your retreat can be tailored to your personal health goals. Three weeks before the retreat, you’ll receive preparation materials, including a welcome webinar on the Five Roots, a blood test kit (for cholesterol and HbA1C), and a health measurement kit. 

During your stay, you’ll enjoy nourishing meals, specialist presentations, blood tests, nutritional consultations, body composition analysis, massages, two treatments or therapies, and other activities. And after the retreat, you’ll leave equipped with the knowledge and guidance to make lasting lifestyle changes, with the option to return for a three-night follow-up stay to reinforce progress and re-test diagnostics.

What’s on the menu?

Nutrition is fundamental to metabolic health and a key part of the programmes here. Two meals are served daily – brunch and dinner – and prepared by in-house nutritionists and chefs (on hand to answer questions and explain the nutritional value in every meal). 

All dishes are created using fresh, seasonable produce that’s either grown in the Kitchen Garden or sourced locally. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. Please note, Combe Grove is a non-smoking and alcohol-free estate.
