Mr Wolfe’s review of Thyme

  • Privately owned
  • Historic building
  • Beautiful location
  • Within 90 minutes of London

A whole Cotswold village of honeyed stone, run by one family with exquisite taste. Rooms are scattered among old farm buildings, the Ox Barn is the prettiest dining room in the county and the cookery school will teach you to make a sourdough you will never make again.

The Swan, the village pub, is the sort of place one used to find everywhere and now finds almost nowhere. The water meadows are made for a long, slow walk.
