My stay at Thyme was nothing short of exceptional, surrounded by breathtaking Cotswold scenery and dotted with charming amenities. The staff was incredibly attentive, truly making me feel welcomed. The dining experience was a highlight with delicious meals, although I wished for more variety over the days. The spa treatments were also a standout, offering a deep sense of relaxation. However, some noise from other guests in my initial room was a bit distracting. Overall, it's a splendid retreat, but a little pricey.

The hotel is nestled in a picturesque part of The Cotswolds, providing a lovely backdrop for the entire experience. However, it was right next to the Ox Barn restaurant, which tended to be quite noisy into the night.

I had an incredible experience at this boutique hotel, surrounded by the stunning Cotswold countryside. The unique design of the rooms and attentive staff truly made me feel at home, while the dining at both the Ox Barn and The Swan was a culinary delight. The spa treatments offered a perfect way to unwind. The only downside was that the facilities could use a bit more variety, but overall, the value for the experience was outstanding.

The hotel boasts stunning grounds and welcoming staff, making for a lovely environment. However, we faced significant issues with service and billing, which left us feeling disappointed despite the beautiful ambiance and quality of food. The experience came with a hefty price tag that didn't quite match the value we received.

Thyme offers a truly enchanting escape into the Cotswold countryside, with exquisite accommodations and a delightful dining experience. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and the thoughtful touches enhance the stay. While the overall experience is exceptional, there were a few hiccups during breakfast service and minor frustrations with the afternoon tea scheduling. However, I found the value completely justifiable considering the ambiance and service provided.
