“For a taste of English country living, you can’t do much better than Thyme’s beautifully designed and appointed bedrooms, featuring a dazzling panoply of Hibbert’s botanical fabrics and a mix of antique and vintage pieces, like silver palm wall lights and chandeliers.” - Roslyn Sulcas, 1st Dibs.

Grasses and reeds stand tall, as high as the wanderers who tread the mown paths, a carpet with wild mint tangled through the undergrowth - its heady scent filling the air. It has been a dry year, from the first days of spring through to the heat of high summer, and the sun-bleached blades are a sure sign that the season has reached its peak.
