Wild Thyme & Honey

The sensory invocation of Wild Thyme & Honey’s name is no empty promise; here the hours drip by slowly and deliciously, herbaceous scents transport you, and a land of plenty gives generously in feeding and watering you. This centuries-old inn and its neighbourly country pub offer up the agrarian dream of the Cotswolds, with its bursts of wildflowers, simpler-times style and pastoral pursuits, but there’s also plenty of polish to keep it in step with the times, not to mention barkeeps who mix a mean negroni, espresso martini and more; haute-rustic rooms; and a bank of heated glass dining domes given an all-access pass to scenic views. An all-thyme great in the making.

Wild Thyme & Honey comprises two of just a handful of buildings, set by a babbling brook, in dinky Gloucestershire village Ampney Crucis, a five-minute drive from Cirencester and 30-minute drive from Cheltenham.
