Manor & farm estate · Southrop, Cotswolds
Thyme
A restored manor and working farm in a whole Cotswold village, with a spa, a cookery school and rooms that feel lived-in rather than styled.
Our review
Thyme is less a hotel than a village you are allowed to inhabit for a weekend. Spread across a manor, barns and cottages in Southrop, it has the confidence to leave things understated.
The Meadow Spa, the Ox Barn restaurant and the kitchen gardens give you reasons never to leave the grounds. It is a place for an anniversary, a milestone, or simply doing very little, very well.
