Thyme – Hotel, Restaurant, Spa

"A charming hotel in the English Cotswolds, part of the World of Hyatt program through a partnership with Mr & Mrs Smith."

"Thyme is a sprawling estate within the village of Southrop that is nominally a hotel, but feels more like its own, self-contained hamlet. Having evolved from a cookery school, it is now a 150-acre paradise encompassing a farm, restaurant, pub, spa, and 31 rooms spread across various barns, manor houses, and outbuildings." - Liam Hess

"An hour from London by train, Thyme is a 150-acre Cotswolds estate that oozes English countryside charm. Dispersed between houses and cottages, the individually designed rooms feature bold floral wallpaper, cheery color palettes, and bouquets of fresh wildflowers. The Meadow Spa offers a range of body and facial treatments, formulated in conjunction with in-house beauty brand, Bertioli, but the specialty might be the Botanical Bothy Signature Ritual, which focuses on guided breathwork and pressure point techniques to release tension and rebalance energy channels. Located in a 19th-century former ox barn, the onsite restaurant cooks up menus inspired by the season and the local harvest, with dishes like roast mutton, grilled asparagus, and cocoa beans, or lemon sole with capers, monks beard, and brown butter." - CNT Editors

"Caryn Hibbert and her son Charlie have transformed old barns into ‘Thyme’, a village-style retreat with an eco-friendly focus, including a Tithe Barn for events, a cookery school, the Baa Bar, Ox Barn restaurant, The Swan pub, cottages, a Georgian rectory, and a holistic spa." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"The Baa Bar shows off Thyme’s more cheeky side, with its bespoke commissioned sheep seats as much a talking point as the after dinner cocktails with names such as Shaun, Shear Magic and Flock Off." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
