Thyme – Hotel, Restaurant, Spa in Cotswold

Our stay at Thyme was more than we could have dreamt of. The estate is beautiful, quaint, quiet and just lovely. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The food was amazing- everything from breakfast lattes, lunch to dinner plates and cocktails. The best touch was every time we left our cottage for an outing or to go eat, we came back to a made bed, clean towels and fresh water awaiting us when we returned to our room. I have never stayed at a place that was so professional with their room cleaning services, as Thyme was. I was so so impressed by this!! It truly made such a difference in our stay. We did classes at the cookery school and a spa day at the meadow spa- highly recommend both. Everything about this place was amazing, I can not recommend it enough.

Epic atmosphere in the Ox Barn - staff and service were impeccable from the lady that took out coats to bar and waiting staff, Chef, Maitre d’Hotel. Beautifully lit. And the food…we had oysters and beef tartare, the pork and monkfish with delicious home grown greens and potatoes. Utterly tasty and enjoyed each mouthful. Good cocktail and wine list accompaniment. The staff and service of all in the restaurant was brilliant. I love this place and want to come and stay.

What an amazing experience! Food was great 👍 and service was excellent!

Gorgeous rooms in the most beautiful hotel. High attention to detail with stunning fabrics and furnishings. The Bertioli products by Thyme are sensational and I had great joy in purchasing some from the shop before leaving. The Ox Barn had a great atmosphere and delicious food. Thanks for an enjoyable stay.

I loved this old farm transformed into a hotel-restaurant. The decoration is very detailed and the food is wonderful. Super

Really disappointed to have our company Christmas lunch cancelled with no real explanation and with less than 10 days to go. Just left a message on my voicemail. Very unprofessional. Not easy to find another large booking elsewhere. Offered a glass of bubbly when we rebook! We shall not be doing so.

Fantastic setting and very pleasant place to relax for a stay, was shocked to find a service charge of approx 22 pound hand been added to my room on top of the 450 pound nightly fee. If charging that much for a room I don’t see why a service charge is required. Cocktails were also pricey at over 20 pound each and also this came with an additional service charge. These elements tarnish a stay that otherwise was very pleasant.

Wonderful Stay at Thyme. Pretty Christmas decorations & such a welcoming vibe. Outstanding food. Thank you so much

The location and layout of the hotel was lovely, and staff were friendly. It was let down by the food - either the prices needed to be lowered or the quality needed to be higher. I could pay less for a Michelin star dining experience in Brimingham and the food was not to this standard.

Great times in a stunning establishment, these guys know how to operate, the carrot room was suitably mad in the best way and the food from the Ox barn was nothing short of 12/10, our waiter James was a serious character with a wealth of knowledge in both the food & booze side of things. The Swan provided an idealistic pub lunch with negroni on tap. Congratulations to Millie and the team, we’ll be back X

My husband and I enjoyed our week at Thyme, a beautiful Cotswold gem. Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable, our garden courtyard and views of the quaint hamlet of Southrop was a nice break from London. The countryside was spectacular. The cuisine at the Ox Barn was always well prepared and appetizing. The local pub, The Swan, was also a wonderful place for dinner after hiking around the hills and towns in the Cotswolds.Thank you to the attentive staff for making our stay at Thyme a memorable one.

Beautiful hotel restaurant and spa in a wonderfully tucked away corner of the Cotswolds within easy reach of everywhere. 5*

The hotel its self looks amazing. If you apply for a job then do not waste your time. Myself and someone close I know, both went for the interviews, they made an excuse that they’re “still interviewing”. Bit of a joke if you ask me. Patiently waiting for a promising future only to be literally left waiting with no clarification. As I said i also know someone very close whom have had this happen to them and I’m sure this won’t be the last time. Absolute time wasters. Do not recommend

Super beautiful estate with really lovely staff! Highly recommend for everyone who likes to stay at luxury countryside hotels.

I have attended yoga and Pilates three times in the large barn. The facilities are perfect for yoga and the barn restoration is magnificent.

Luxury lifestyle. Still sensational as the Financial Times have discovered today. Delicious lunch in the Ox Barn. Tasty!

Fantastic spa experience and amazing lunch!

What a place!!! I simply call it ThymeLand now , because just by entering the gates you are greeted by those lovely dark brown wool covered 'knights', and there's lots of them,and when you start thinking that all is too good for you to be in the right place there you see ' Thyme ' with all its beauty. If you are lucky as I was , you'll get the chance to meet Milly the general manager, or Penny the marketing consultant which will simply emerge you in an captivating world ,structured by these 'offaly long' wood beams,perfectly preserved( never seen anything like that ) and they will talk you through on how everything started . The rooms are just full of details, calls you to ask 100 questions on ' how did you think on doing that ? ' so original. It's own website , everything I've seen and heard about the place , it makes all the justice in the world ,and more. And the food there , would simply continue Milly's story ,where eating with your eyes is more than an old saying of true wisdom. FAREWELL ThymeLand, looking forward to coming back .

Just had wonderful overnight at Thyme. Service and food in restaurant outstanding. Very well looked after by Nick, Nathalie and Kirra. They all went the extra mile to make our stay special. Lovely touches include in room hamper for a pre-breakfast breakfast and a hot water bottle delivered to the room. Together with the sublime bed and bedding we were ensured a perfect night’s sleep. . Couple of niggles but nothing to marr Cotswold heaven.
