As the festive season draws near, the floristry at Thyme continues to respond to the seasons, keeping in step with and reflecting the pared-back winter landscape and gardens that surround us.

There is much evidence of medieval farming around Southrop. Farming techniques then involved piling up the soil in long rows known as ‘ridge and furrow’.

At the heart of Thyme sit two beautiful barns. The restoration of the Ox Barn and the opening of its eponymous restaurant mark the final piece in our village-within-a- village restoration.

The inspiration for our spa, The Meadow is nature and light.
