Thyme is a 150-acre estate in the Cotswolds village of Southrop, where restored heritage buildings are strung together like a hamlet, with gravel paths running between them through the gardens. Meals are farm-to-fork at the Ox Barn, with a village pub (The Swan), a cocktail bar called Baa Bar and a cookery school close by, while Meadow Spa and a pool in the Orchid House cover lazier hours. Rooms are named after plants and coloured to match, each with a welcome trug of home-made liquors, teas and coffee. Apart from Old Walls, the village cottage, rooms are for over-12s only.
