Part of Oxygen Conservation
OUR MISSION
Oxygen Escapes is part of Oxygen Conservation. Founded in 2021, our mission is to deliver positive environmental and social impact — with profit as a result, never the purpose, of what we do.
We acquire land across the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland, restoring natural processes to protect and regenerate both the natural and built environment. Every site we own and manage has its own unique ecology, and we treat each one accordingly when determining our long-term conservation objectives.
At Oxygen Escapes, we believe that a true connection with nature comes through meaningful immersion in its unspoiled beauty.
The principles that guide everything we do
OUR CORE VALUES
At Oxygen Escapes, our values aren’t statements on a page, they shape every experience we create and every landscape we restore.
Our commitment to the environment is unwavering. It influences where we invest, how we build, and how we welcome you into nature. We are ambitious in our mission to restore and protect wild places across the UK, and we move with energy and purpose to make it happen.
We surround ourselves with people who challenge convention, think boldly, and help us push conservation further. Because for us, this isn’t just about hospitality — it’s about scaling conservation through meaningful experiences.
Environment
We prioritise protecting and restoring the precious ecosystems that remain.
Impact
Every decision we make is designed to create lasting environmental and social impact.
Adventure
We believe connection comes through exploration, curiosity, and immersion in the wild.
Togetherness
We believe meaningful change happens together — with our guests, our partners, and our communities.
How we are helping the planet
SCALING CONSERVATION
Our estates span the breadth of the UK and cover a range of landscapes but currently our ecotourism offer is focused on two very special estates. Our long-term objectives for ecosystem restoration are therefore unique to each site. You might find us creating woodland to enhance biodiversity, recreating species rich grasslands across degraded fieldscapes, or even re-wiggling rivers to improve their health and ecological resilience. Wherever we can, however, we will be welcoming people to visit, engage with nature and witness what will be an incredible, landscape-scale restoration.
By staying at an Oxygen Escapes accommodation, you are contributing to these conservation efforts in a very real way.
A deeper way to connect with nature responsibly
OUR VISION
Ecotourism at Oxygen Escapes means experiencing the wild in a way that protects it. Every Oxygen estate is unique, and so is the way we invite you to experience it. Just as we restore each landscape according to its natural character, we carefully consider where and how guests can explore it responsibly and meaningfully.
From restored farmhouses to magical cottages and renovated rural buildings, our spaces are created with sensitivity, simplicity, and respect for place. Alongside them, we offer carefully chosen adventures that invite you to explore, reconnect, and immerse yourself fully in nature.
Our ambition is simple: to create unforgettable stays while minimising our footprint. From renewable energy and responsible waste management to sustainable food sourcing and low-impact cleaning practices, every detail is considered. An approach that works in harmony with nature, enhances biodiversity, and supports local communities.
Challenging ourselves to be better
TRANSPARENCY & COMMITMENT
At each Oxygen Escapes stay we aim to be aspirational, to challenge operational practices in order to elevate the bar for what ecotourism means, on every level. As time goes by, we will continue to evolve and improve. Our promise is to remain transparent and committed, sharing each of our learnings as they come.
We always want to hear from those who have stayed at one of our sites, to learn what you loved and how we can improve. So please do get in touch and share your feedback with the team.
