Dorset: The Pig On The Beach
Dorset: The Pig On The Beach

Known as the “mellow yellow house” situated along Studland Bay, this offers a real home from home feel with the added benefit of gorgeous sea views! Not only does The Pig offer a variety of stylish, cosy and higgledy piggeldy rooms; they also have a few unique options for something a bit different – The Pig Hut, The Bothy & The Lookout. Some rooms have stunning sea views and others look out over the surrounding countryside – what more could you ask for!? Whilst staying at The Pig, you can over-indulge in the sea view conservatory restaurant or take a stroll down to the ‘Sheep Hut’ for a revitalising spa treatment in total peace – not exactly what you may expect to find in a Sheep Hut, but it works! Take a walk down the private path to the beach in the summer or cosy up by the roaring log fires in the winter, there really is something for everyone – it’s personal, lived-in, and not perfect. Sounds perfect though.
