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. Winding gravel pathways connect 17th century houses and cottages with meticulously-restored agricultural barns, all enveloped in a pristine 150-acre estate.
