‘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”.

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.

We were delighted to welcome the Good Housekeeping team for a summer photoshoot, showcasing their 10 essential wardrobe items you mustn’t forget to pack for a summer escape (to Thyme)!

“I had the best night's sleep in ages. The whole place has a real home-from-home feel (the home of my dreams), the decor marrying traditional country with contemporary cool and making it a real 'It' 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.

We are Delighted to be included in the round up of the best spas in the region.
