Positive: Beautiful big property to walk around and enjoy the countryside
Negative: For the price of the rooms the fact that some rooms only have beds which are 135cm is quite crazy. Also they do not explain in advance ahead of the booking that the pool and spa are closed for the winter. At check out, we had included on the bill a tip for the hotel staff (such us cleaners etc) as it was specifically included in the bill, you have to proactively remove if you don’t wan to pay for it. This basically feels like they are pushing you to pay for this. This tip by the way is aside from the bar and restaurant tips already provided. I am not sure why you feel this is America now? I thought this was so rude that just because of this I would not come back

Positive: The hotel is beautiful and in beautiful surroundings, On check in the staff showed us round the property and explained where everything was. We had drinks in Baa Baa, ate breakfast in the Ox Barn and ate dinner at the Swan. All excellent.
Negative: When we checked in we were taken to our room which was Pear Tree Cottage, it was a stunning cottage but not what we expected as we had booked a junior suite. This was lovely but a little out of the way as was out of the way and you had to cross the road to get to the accommodation. We spoke to reception and they kindly changed us to a room nearer the hotel which was much appreciated. We can't fault any other aspect of our stay.
Summary: Stunning hotel, great friendly staff with plenty going on.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This is an exceptional hotel. It is a series of beautifully restored cotswold stone buildings that form a stunning, luxurious hotel within glorious gardens. The rooms are extremely comfortable and well equipped and the decor is pretty and stylish. We were given a room on the ground floor as we realised my husband could not manage the stairs to the bathroom in our first room and everything was done with no fuss. All the common rooms are stunning, you would not want to leave them! Fabulous Baa Bar. What truly made this trip though was the staff. Not only professional and very friendly, but enormously helpful and kind. Nothing was too much bother - Jasmine on Reception even offered to drive us to our dinner date in her own car! I would recommend Thyme unreservedly
Negative: Slightly larger teacups would be nice!
Summary: Memorable stay in the most beautiful, comfortable hotel staffed by fantastic people.
