What it is

Thyme is a luxury countryside retreat in the heart of the Cotswolds, combining a boutique hotel, an award-winning spa, and a working farm to create an enchanting escape infused with English charm and refined simplicity.

What it isn't

This isn’t a traditional country inn with outdated charm. It’s a sophisticated, thoughtfully designed retreat that embraces modern luxury while staying true to its rural roots.

What we think

Set within a picturesque village, Thyme is more than just a hotel--it’s an estate with a soul, where each of the beautifully restored cottages and garden rooms offers a serene blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort. The interiors are thoughtfully designed with natural materials, antique furnishings, and a soft color palette inspired by the surrounding landscape. Guests can stroll through the lush gardens, take part in cooking classes using fresh produce from the farm, or unwind in the Meadow Spa, which offers treatments inspired by the calming herbs grown on-site. Dining at Thyme is an exquisite farm-to-table experience, with menus that celebrate seasonal ingredients from the estate’s gardens and the local area. Whether you’re indulging in a meal at The Ox Barn or enjoying afternoon tea in the charming Tithe Barn, every bite and sip is a testament to the Cotswolds' culinary heritage. With a focus on sustainable practices, warm hospitality, and a deep connection to the land, Thyme offers an authentic and luxurious countryside experience.
