Thyme is not a hotel: we have a hotel, a spa, a cookery school, restaurants and a farm, we grow our vegetables, fruit & herbs, and we have nature at our heart.

Professional Development: Personal and professional development is at the heart of our people strategy, with training and leadership programmes as well as development plans for all the team.

Competitive Remuneration: We offer excellent pay and benefits. Our service charge is substantial, and every penny goes to our hard working team each month.
