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.

Calendar of Happenings

Inspired by the changing seasons, our Calendar of Happenings includes talks, workshops and events from cookery and floristry to soap making and painting, all under the direction of masterful experts in their field.

THOUGHTS

A significant merit of time is the opportunity it gives us to observe, reflect and consider.

Damian’s Quince Martini

Simple, delicious and devilish.

Marj’s Bramble and Bay Jelly
Marj’s Bramble and Bay Jelly

Lovely as the jam in a queen of puddings, served on hot toast with nut butter or as an accompaniment to cheeses.

Charlie’s Pickled Pumpkin

You can make the pickle well in advance, we pickle some of our pumpkins to help preserve gluts from the garden.
