Comprising a collection of lovingly restored historic buildings, it combines traditional Cotswold architecture with contemporary luxury, from the Baa Bar to the Ox Barn restaurant and the botanically inspired bedrooms. Time here can be as tranquil or fun-filled as you like – a curated selection of talks, wellness sessions and classes create an enticing and ever-changing itinerary while the Gloucestershire countryside invites you to take long walks to quaint country pubs.
From the award-winning Meadow Spa to the heated springwater swimming pool and tennis courts, every aspect of Thyme ensures a rejuvenating experience. With 31 individually designed bedrooms, including two standalone cottages, guests are treated to unparalleled comfort and style. Each room is meticulously curated, featuring signature amenities such as coffee machines, plush bathrobes, and luxurious toiletries. Farm-to-table dining is on the menu at Thyme’s exceptional restaurants: the Ox Barn, Orchid House, and the Swan at Southrop where the menus showcase the finest seasonal ingredients in hearty pub classics at The Swan and plant-inspired dishes at the Ox Barn.
