Wild Thyme & Honey —
Just for you:
- One complimentary welcome drink per person per stay
In the quintessential Cotswolds village of Ampney Crucis stands the boutique country inn, Wild Thyme & Honey. The inn was a 16th-century pub that has been transformed into a 24 bedroom inn, exuding charm and character. A quaint English village, a bubbling trout-filled brook and a traditional former pub make Ampney Crucis the perfect Cotswold escape.
Wild Thyme & Honey overlooks the town's bubbling brook and sits snugly with The Crown at Ampney Brook pub, and is all you need for an unforgettable countryside escape. The inn has been designed to let the idyllic countryside in to create a feeling of being immersed in nature and is based on the ethos of sharing the best of Cotswold living. Exposed Cotswold stone and natural timber cladding sit alongside a calming palette of soft greys, rich creams and inviting textiles. The inn is inspired by the honey-coloured stone and the wild thyme that grows in between and promises a memorable stay.
