THE PIG – on the beach

If spending a weekend strolling along unspoilt beaches and enjoying fine food and drink sounds like your idea of heaven, you'd do well to book a stay at THE PIG - on the beach. Located in Studland Bay, this restaurant with rooms features a unique thatched round house private dining room and two shepherd hut treatment rooms, and is perfectly placed for those looking to experience Dorset's World Heritage coastline at its very best. This is a truly tranquil spot where you can really get away from it all, unwind and enjoy stunning views.

THE PIG - on the beach's sister hotels in Bath, Brockenhurst and Southampton are known for their quirky, homespun aesthetic and menu of home-grown, foraged and local fare. Designed in the same shabby-chic style that has become THE PIG's signature, the hotel offers luxury and comfort in equal measure with 23 individual bedrooms located in the main house and grounds.

The dining experience is never the same twice, as the menu changes regularly to showcase fresh produce grown in the hotel's kitchen garden, found by the forager or sourced locally. Whether you visit just for an evening or to spend an entire blissfully relaxing weekend here, you'll be itching to return to the laid-back surroundings of THE PIG very soon
