Ultra PremierThyme
Independent (Cathcart family) · Country estate hotel · Southrop, Gloucestershire
A 150-acre former farming estate in the village of Southrop restored by the Cathcart family into a 'village within a village' of 31 rooms spread across historic cottages and houses, built around a two-acre kitchen garden, a working farm with rare-breed sheep, a cookery school and the Meadow Spa. Dining runs across the Ox Barn restaurant, the Swan village pub and poolside Orchid House.
Why we recommend it
The benchmark for the region's farm-to-table, textile-and-antiques aesthetic; consistently cited as one of the two or three properties that defined the modern Cotswolds hotel category, and still independently owned rather than group-operated.
