Old Walls – a two-bedroom, honey-hued cottage on the edge of the Thyme hotel’s estate – is as picturesque a Cotswolds stay as you could wish for. Snuggle up by the log burner in the wooden-beamed living room; rustle up tea and crumpets in the galley kitchen; or stretch out on the superking-size bed in the soft-hued master bedroom. Meanwhile, two- and four-legged Smiths alike will enjoy gambolling in the private walled garden, lined with shrubs and climbing roses. Beside a quiet road in the little village of Southrop, you’re a stone’s throw from country pursuits: the Swan pub, pig-populated farms and the River Leach.

Location

Photos Thyme Old Walls
  • Old Walls is in the middle of the quiet village of Southrop, just a few minutes’ walk from Thyme and their nearby pub, the Swan.
  • Bristol airport is a 90-minute drive on the M4. International hub Heathrow is around the same distance, and Gatwick is two hours by car. The hotel can arrange transfers from London airports for £150 for a one-way trip.
  • Go for walks by the River Leach and through Thyme’s estate, which has verdant olive gardens, wildflower-strewn meadows and several farms. Artist William Morris’s country house, Kelmscott Manor, is a 20-minute drive away, and the Unesco world-heritage site Blenheim Palace is also nearby.
