A sense of the place

Thyme — room — The Cedar of Lebanon bedroom in The Lodge at Thyme: a green four-poster bed with a floral upholstered headboard and cushions, a grey wool throw, a painted French chest of drawers with a silver lamp and flowers, a wing chair by a sash window, a sunburst mirror and a portrait on cream walls, a sheepskin rug on the carpet; nobody in frame — © Thyme

Thyme — spa — The Meadow Spa greenhouse at Thyme in summer sun: green-framed steel windows onto a bed of lavender, clipped box domes, the trunk of a great tree and the stone-slate roofs and chimneys of Southrop beyond, white and green wrought-iron bistro tables and chairs with potted ferns on green-and-white hexagonal tiles, a watering can on the sill and shelves of the house's own Bertioli products at the left; nobody in frame — Freddie Ellams / Thyme

Why it's in the collection

Because a Cotswold village was restored house by house on a hundred-and-fifty-acre estate near Lechlade – seventeenth-century manor, cottages and barns turned into thirty-one bedrooms, a restaurant in the ox barn, a pub and a spa in the meadow – and the Hibbert family holds it to four-star standing.

Southrop Manor and its village near Lechlade, on the Thames side of the southern Cotswolds; Caryn Hibbert's family estate, independently owned.
31 bedrooms in restored seventeenth-century houses, cottages and barns across a hundred and fifty acres; the Ox Barn restaurant, The Swan pub, the Baa Bar and a cookery school.
The Meadow Spa and the spring-fed Orchid House pool, open for the summer months; Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection; holds four-star standing.

The village of Southrop and the estate's meadows, at the door.
Lechlade and the Thames, a few minutes' drive.
Bibury, the Coln valley and Cirencester, within half an hour.
