Harriet Russell speaks to Caryn Hibbert about making Thyme that special oasis in the heart of the Cotswolds.

"...Everything we do illustrates our love of the land is really unique to us." - Caryn Hibbert

“Bamford, Calcot Manor and Barnsley House are all well established, but it is Thyme, a verdant and exquisitely manicured 150-acre manor, that elicits the most joyous of exhales”.

“Long praised for its culinary offerings, the Cotswolds retreat Thyme has fast become a draw for interior-design lovers. Featuring an oxen barn, handmade ceramics, bespoke bedrooms and scenic vegetable patches, the hotel has reinvented itself as a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach”.

‘The home that became a masterclass in Cotswolds living’.

How Caryn Hibbert turned a bucolic country retreat into a holistic – and lifestyle – destination.

“Alongside a restaurant, bar, cookery school, spa, boutique, kitchen gardens and resident sheep, there's a calendar of constantly changing creative craft classes (known as happenings) from guest teachers hosted throughout the week at Thyme“.

“A jewel in the Cotswolds crown is Thyme, a luxurious countryside retreat complete with chic bedrooms, spa, award-winning restaurant and cookery school”.

“What The Hibberts have created here, is not a lifestyle brand, it’s a thoughtful way of living that considers its people, structures and environment above all else. And they’re keen to share it with you, there’s a generosity of spirit here that is deeply attractive. You get the sense that these are good folk doing good things and it’s impossible not to want to be a part of that”.

“Whether you’re looking for a delectable foodie getaway, a cleansing spa moment, or a chic staycation, Thyme has it all.”

‘With an ethos of celebrating nature and its unrushed timing, Thyme is truly a hotel in which you can finally relax and slow down.
