“On a recent visit to Thyme in early spring, I soon discovered that the dialogue between the hotel and its surroundings is infused into every aspect of your stay”.

Charlie Hibbert, chef patron of Thyme, shares three of his superb Game recipes.

They’re in no way difficult, using readily available products, but will certainly bring a feeling of fine dining to your family table.

“Sometimes we all need a moment to pause and recentre ourselves before a busy day”. 

Sarah Jossel uses our Water Meadow Breathing Balm to "supercharge" her morning.

Wonderful to be included in a round up of the UK’s Greatest Boutique Hotels. Thyme is a family story, led by Caryn Hibbert, daughter Camilla and eldest son Charlie, where passion for the land, food and entertaining merges with a love of nature, beauty and conservation.

When is a hotel not a hotel? Answer: when a family-run establishment begins life as a cookery school, then slowly - and carefully - morphs into an utterly charming and eclectic Nature-led enterprise.

Delighted The Swan has been included in the Cotswolds Gentleman’s guide to the best pubs in the Cotswolds that you should visit in 2024.

Charlie shares three of his favourite rich, comforting puddings for the winter months.

Orange, olive oil and almond upside down cake, Custard tart and Marsala poached pears….Food doesn’t get more comforting than that.

Thymes "calendar of happenings" is packed full of seasonal lessons on how to have fun, guided by its beautiful botanical gardens in the Gloucestershire countryside.

We are delighted to have been featured in The Telegraphs, best healing escapes in the UK for a touch of Winter wellness, from sliding into toasty, low-lit pools to treatments that range from simply restful to reassuringly serious.

‘A simple yet sumptuous country house, every detail at Thyme is thought through to bring guests back to nature and provide a place to truly, deeply relax.

‘If any hotel in the UK could embody an enlightened, home-grown take on wellness (and generally the good life), it would be Thyme in Gloucestershire’.

‘Reassuringly the gardens and grounds remain as stunning as ever for crisp winter strolls. And design lovers will purr over the magnificent Ox Barn, where there will be live jazz on the 21 and 28 December, plus a New Year’s Eve bash with a DJ and Pol Roger bar’.

We are delighted to have been featured in The Telegraph, with fabulous winter gardening tips provided by Bunny Guinness in the grounds of Thyme’s Kitchen Gardens.

“Each botanically-inspired bedroom has been lovingly designed by owner Caryn Hibbert, and lies scattered amidst the gardens: expect emperor-size beds and tasteful colour schemes in all of them.

“Arguably our most-loved Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and long at the top of tourists’ must-visit lists, the allure of the Cotswolds is as strong as ever. Paula Lester meets seven people who are lucky enough to call it home, including our Founder and Creative Director of Thyme, Caryn Hibbert”.
