Thyme and Bertioli, founded by Caryn Hibbert, are part of a unique family of brands centred around the sustainable lifestyle ethos of Thyme, a luxury countryside hotel in the Cotswolds. Bertioli, the natural extension of Thyme, is Hibbert's vision of blending luxury with nature’s rhythms, offering eco-conscious fashion and homeware products inspired by the countryside.

A beloved ritual, made portable

100 Acres was born in 2014 from a lifelong love of the countryside and a desire to bottle and share its magic.

Part one of a series on which hotels have the best bath and body products (I’m not a fan of the word ‘toiletries’) and what they are. Next is Commune a newly launched British self-care and lifestyle brand founded by husband-and-wife duo Rémi Paringaux and Kate Neal, both fashion industry veterans. Drawing inspiration from the magic of the English countryside, they’ve created a collection that is as eco-conscious as it is luxurious.

Calcot & Spa in the Cotswolds. A luxury family-friendly hotel with spa, gardens, bar and restaurant.

Pubs with rooms are competing with some of the best boutique hotels and rightly so. They’re stylish, affordable and serve fabulous food.
