About us
Thyme is not a hotel: we have a hotel, a spa, a cookery school, restaurants and a farm, we grow our vegetables, fruit & herbs, and we have nature at our heart.
Thyme is a restored historic Cotswold manor and farm. It is a family story where a passion for the land, food and entertaining, merges with a love of local heritage, beauty and conservation.
We took time to make Thyme. Working with the historic buildings and the farm that surrounds them, we have created a thoughtful place with love and attention lavished on every detail. We hope you will experience a real connection to the land, the seasons and to nature, and we invite you to enjoy this English country idyll with our team.
Rooted in a passion for the local land, food and entertaining, our carefully curated menus tell a story of the farm and seasons. Under the direction of Charlie Hibbert, the chefs and gardeners at Thyme work together to select and grow the fruits, vegetables and herbs used to create his modern British countryside fare.
A sustainable ethos and a dedication to good, honest food served without pretention is at the heart of our kitchen. Our menus change daily in response to the produce in our two acre kitchen garden, in addition to using fresh eggs from our flocks of hens, geese, quail and ducks and lamb, hogget and mutton from their rare-breed sheep.
The Ox Barn is a contemporary restaurant with a spectacular bar and seven-and-a-half metre Charvet open kitchen.
Just a short stroll from Thyme, The Swan sits at the heart of the village of Southrop adjacent to the green. Its recorded history dates back as far as 1606 when it was known as the Bakehouse, serving bread and ale to the farm workers.
The Swan is characterised by low slung ceilings, roaring fires and a spacious garden room. Complete with sofas for cosy feasting, two walled gardens for lazy, long summer lunches and the Old Bar for simple merry-making and a light pub bite, The Swan offers a country pub feel with simple, but refined, cooking.
