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
