In Addition

Thyme is committed to operating sustainably, both socially and environmentally. While preserving the charm and heritage of the original estate buildings, the property is also as energy efficient as possible. Heating comes from ground source heat pumps and sustainable wood chip boilers, while sophisticated insulation solutions and ventilation recovery systems ensure no unnecessary energy use. A commitment to erase single-use plastics sees straws swapped for wheat blades, refillable glass bottles in hotel rooms, cling film replaced with beeswax papers, and many other measures in place. The swimming pool is filtered naturally through Cotswold limestone rather than by chemicals, while the spa uses the products of a natural British brand. Most of the food used in the restaurants is created using ingredients from the kitchen garden and farm, which uses modern farming techniques, or else local suppliers and artisans are used. The community awareness continues with Thyme supporting local organisations and charities through events, projects and charitable giving.
