Treat yourself – Relax in the most luxurious Spas in the Cotswolds

The Cotswolds are extremely fortunate to be able to offer some of the most beautiful and spoiling spas in the country. Coupled with rural tranquillity, these havens of relaxation offer a blissful escape from the hurly burly of the Christmas festivities. There is exceptional walking, and cycling, and even wild swimming for the courageous, in the Cotswolds!
Thyme, Southrop, Gloucestershire - Meadow Spa, is a restored Cotswold manor and farm with a passion for land, food, and entertaining merged with a love of local heritage and conservation. The idea behind the concept is that those who visit Thyme experience a real connection to the land, the seasons and to nature, and they invite their guests to rest, relax and enjoy the country idyll.
As Thyme has grown, the ethos has never faltered with the story of the land imbued in every detail. Today, Thyme is comprised of 31 bedrooms dispersed across its houses and cottages, the Ox Barn restaurant, the Baa Bar, the Swan pub, Cookery School, Meadow Spa, our boutiques, and the Tithe Barn event and exhibition space, Thyme is still family-owned and run, led by Caryn, her eldest son Charlie and daughter, Camilla.
Meadow Spa offers a range of treatments in Meadow Cottage and the Botanical Bothy, which have been designed, together with Bertioli Beauty, to provide a variety of treatments incorporating breathing and bathing. The spa is available to be booked by resident guests of Thyme, as well guests who wish to come to the spa just for the day. All treatment experiences include a lunch in The Orchid House and complimentary use of the outdoor pool. Experience our Meadow Spa — Thyme

The Pig, Barnsley, Gloucestershire – Whilst there are now several PIGs across the south of England, The Pig in Barnsley has perhaps the most famous garden of them all, having been Rosemary Verey’s home for many years. As with the other venues in the group, the ethos at Barnsley is to champion all products that are local, to help the environment and support Pig People to develop their talents. In keeping with their luxury country look and feel, Spa treatments take place in the charming Potting Shed and Sheep’s Hut within the gardens.

Drought Tolerant Plants By Oxford Garden Designs
After the long, hot, dry spring and summer the impact of climate change in most of our gardens is obvious. Establishing that pristine, green stripy lawn has been a challenge this summer, and, given the shortage of water in our reservoirs, not sustainable. Many of our favourite garden plants have fried, shrivelled, or even died so it seems inevitable to me that us green-fingered folk will have to make some changes in our approach to maintaining gardens.
