What sets it apart?

Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, this country estate, often described as a “village within a village,” is a haven of homegrown luxury, offering a Michelin Green Star-awarded restaurant, a spa, and boutique accommodation. The Ox Barn, Thyme’s signature restaurant, is set in a stunningly restored 19th-century barn, where chef Charlie Hibbert crafts exceptional dishes using ingredients grown on the estate’s farm.

Where is it?

Thyme is located in the picturesque Gloucestershire village of Southrop, within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It lies between Brize Norton and Fairford airspace. The surrounding countryside is low-lying, making for a relatively straightforward approach, but watch for microlight traffic in the area.
