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.

January Market Comment
January has seen us firmly up and running across the Cotswolds. Activity has been encouraging, with positive levels of interest and a busy start to the year. We have already agreed a good number of sales across our three offices in a range of different price points, which is a positive indicator of buyer intent following what was a very cautious 2025, with low confidence and many delays.

Three Quintessential Cotswold Cottages – Full of Character & Charm
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, there’s something undeniably romantic about the idea of escaping to a cosy Cotswold cottage. Think honey-coloured stone walls, crackling log fires and soft lamplight spilling across plush sofas - perfect for long conversations, shared glasses of wine and slow, unhurried mornings. In winter, the Cotswolds reveal a quieter kind of beauty, with misty lanes, frosted fields and snug village pubs just a gentle stroll away. It’s a setting steeped in charm and warmth, and utterly quintessential in its British appeal.
