Thoughts from Meadow Spa
We often say that the wellbeing experience at Thyme starts with a simple walk through nature — no matter the season. We know that spending time in nature can have a profound impact on our wellbeing, and autumn offers its own healing properties.
Autumn is also our wettest season and the temptation is, when it looks like rain, to play it safe and stay indoors — but knowing the benefits of walking in the rain might tempt us to be a little bit braver, to get out and about even on the wettest of days.

The brain and gut are intimately connected through a complex system of nerves called the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic responsible for the ‘fight or flight’ stress response and the para sympathetic (the vagus nerve) responsible for ‘rest & digest’ calming and quietening the body.
‘With an ethos of celebrating nature and its unrushed timing, Thyme is truly a hotel in which you can finally relax and slow down.
