Thyme

Fabulous location, the best of the Cotswolds. Wonderful Restaurant, efficient and helpful staff. Delightful stay.

Nothing.

Love their flowers and plants and the aesthetic of it .

A few minor things like the layout of the room , the bathroom gadgets efficiency can be improved .

Everything from beginning to end. Absolute attention to detail. Staff incredible and couldn’t do enough. Rooms and decor and entire estate magnificent. There was a calmness about everything

Not enough informal snacks selection and room service if we didn’t want to eat at the Ox Barn restaurant which was excellent however one often wants to have something more of a casual lunch or dinner in the room and the menu was very limited. Breakfast selection also quite limited due to no buffet and felt there could have been a slightly wider selection of pastries and alternatives for none meat eaters.

The grounds are beautiful. Most of the staff were very friendly. Food in the restaurant was good.

We paid around £700 per night during one of the hottest weeks of the year. For that kind rate you expect an exceptional room with AC. Our room did not have AC and was uncomfortably hot with nothing but a couple of fans blowing hot air around. All other 5 star hotels in the area at that price point have AC. For £700 per night you also expect a room to be impeccably appointed and maintained; it should feel like you are the first to stay in it. Again here Tyme did not deliver. The bathroom was very disappointing and poorly maintained. The mattress not up to standard and the sofa uncomfortable. The staff by the pool were often rude and constantly informed us that if we left for a second then we would have to take our things with us. Despite the fact that we had a service animal with us our dog was not initially welcome at the pool or in the pool house. We could hardly leave him in our room which was 30 degrees plus. We were asked to leave the pool by 2pm on the day of check out to make way for new guests. All in all some of the staff made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I would not recommend the property to others.
