Thyme Hotel Cotswolds: a 150-acre culinary and spa estate in Lechlade

The 150-Acre Estate

Thyme Hotel Lechlade sits on a private 150-acre estate in the Cotswolds. The property is formed of 17th-century houses and cottages set around winding gravel pathways. Guests have access to manicured gardens, the Tithe Barn exhibition space, and the seasonal outdoor pool at the Orchid House.

Dining & The Cookery School

The Ox Barn restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner from a menu focused on seasonal, locally grown produce. The hotel also operates the Swan, a village pub open Wednesday through Sunday. Thyme's cookery school offers private classes alongside a scheduled programme of hands-on sessions.

Meadow Spa & Wellness

The Meadow Spa offers treatments in the Meadow Cottage and the Botanical Bothy. Treatments use the hotel's own Bertioli breathing and bathing collection. The outdoor swimming pool and poolhouse are open seasonally during the summer months, and yoga classes are available.

Botanically Inspired Rooms

Bedrooms are dispersed across the estate's individual houses and cottages, creating a private hamlet environment. Each room is botanically inspired and comes with welcome goodies. Private bathrooms are supplied with toiletries from the hotel's sister brand, Bertioli.

Activities in the Cotswolds

Guests can borrow bicycles, play tennis on the hotel court, or set up croquet on the Farmhouse lawn. Walking maps and cycle routes are available from the reception desk. The estate is 17 mi from Stow-on-the-Wold and 26 mi from Cheltenham, with easy access by train from London Paddington.
