The most romantic lodges within the Cotswolds
Thyme is a cluster of honey-stone properties in postcard-pretty Southrop. It’s a ‘village within a village’ says owner Caryn Hibbert, who has devised it as a dreamy, other-worldly haven. It is a profoundly peaceful place (very beautifully devised so that the spirit of the various buildings have been honoured) making it one of the most romantic hotels in the Cotswolds. The Baa, a central hub-cum-bar set in former lambing sheds, features sheep seats made with fleeces from flocks grazing Thyme’s own fields. The Ox Barn restaurant is a chic barn conversion in which clever lighting draws your eyes up to a host of venerable old beams. Facilities are first-class, from the Meadow Spa with eight treatment rooms to the heated springwater swimming pool, tennis court, topiary-filled garden and ample grounds beyond.
