A Place Shaped by Nature
Nestled in the rolling Cotswolds hills, we are your home away from home: a place to slow down, take Thyme and reconnect with nature.
Thyme is a historic English country estate complete with a private collection of restored buildings. Winding gravel pathways connect 17th century houses and cottages with charming outbuildings and meticulously-restored, architecturally-significant barns, enveloped in a pristine 150-acre estate.
Calendar of Happenings
Inspired by the changing seasons, our Calendar of Happenings includes talks, workshops and events from cookery and floristry to soap making and painting, all under the direction of masterful experts in their field.
THOUGHTS
A significant merit of time is the opportunity it gives us to observe, reflect and consider.
Lovely as the jam in a queen of puddings, served on hot toast with nut butter or as an accompaniment to cheeses.
You can make the pickle well in advance, we pickle some of our pumpkins to help preserve gluts from the garden.
We often say that the wellbeing experience at Thyme starts with a simple walk through nature — no matter the season. We know that spending time in nature can have a profound impact on our wellbeing, and autumn offers its own healing properties.
Autumn is also our wettest season and the temptation is, when it looks like rain, to play it safe and stay indoors — but knowing the benefits of walking in the rain might tempt us to be a little bit braver, to get out and about even on the wettest of days.
A long standing friend of Thyme, Chloe Hodgson is a renowned Pilates instructor and respected wellness expert. Her experience extends beyond the mat offering a holistic approach to wellbeing and with over a decade of experience.
Autumn is a busy time for wildlife as animals and birds prepare for the coming colder weather. We have collated some tips on easy things that you can do in your own garden to help pollinators, hedgehogs, birds and more.
