Thyme

Thyme is nestled in the rolling Cotswolds hills creating a home away from home: a place to slow down, take Thyme and reconnect with nature. The estate is connected by winding gravel pathways where you'll find 17th century houses and cottages with meticulously-restored agricultural barns, all enveloped in a pristine 150-acre estate. Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in their Ox Barn restaurant, and The Swan, their village pub, is open from Wednesday through to Sunday. Refreshments are available in their Baa, an elegant and cozy space where guests can enjoy a coffee and light lunch during the day or a botanical cocktail in the evening. Free private parking and free Wi-Fi are available at the property. Thyme's botanically inspired bedrooms are dispersed across houses and cottages, forming a peaceful hamlet environment with gravel pathways to lead you through the gardens. Each room comes with a coffee machine and welcome goodies for guests to enjoy during their stay. A private bathroom with toiletries from their sister brand, Bertioli, is provided in every room, and a bath or shower is also provided. Guests have access to the hotel's communal spaces, including their exhibition space, the Tithe Barn, the Baa Bar, and the Orchid House, the poolhouse which is open seasonally during the summer months when the outdoor pool is open for guests. Garden and History Tours are available at the property, please check their Calendar of Happenings to see when the tours are scheduled to take place.
