We’re delighted to share some exciting news from the world of boutique hospitality: The Pig Hotels—the beloved collection of countryside-chic retreats—have officially joined the prestigious Best Loved Hotels family. With their signature blend of laid-back luxury, home-grown produce, and charming British heritage, eight iconic Pig properties are now part of this handpicked collection of exceptional stays across the UK.
Let’s take a closer look at these eight remarkable hotels that are now proud members of Best Loved Hotels:
New Forest, United Kingdom
The original that started it all. Nestled in the heart of the New Forest, this walled garden retreat set the tone for The Pig brand with its kitchen-garden ethos, shabby-chic interiors, and strong connection to the land. A true trailblazer in sustainable, relaxed luxury.
Devon, United Kingdom
Just 15 minutes from the Jurassic Coast, this Elizabethan gem is hidden in the rolling Devonshire countryside. With three walled kitchen gardens, an outdoor wood-fired oven, and a rustic folly for private dining, this is countryside escapism at its finest.
Cornwall, United Kingdom
Set above one of Cornwall’s most stunning beaches, The Pig at Harlyn Bay blends coastal charm with historic grandeur. Expect clifftop views, surf culture, and seafood that’s often landed just a few miles away.
West Sussex, United Kingdom
A newcomer to the fold and already a firm favourite. Tucked into the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park, this hotel combines traditional flint and brick with The Pig’s signature rustic flair. Ideal for wine lovers thanks to its position in English wine country.
Somerset, United Kingdom
Close to the honey-coloured Georgian city of Bath, this handsome Georgian house is surrounded by deer-dotted parkland and a working kitchen garden. Perfect for combining countryside tranquillity with a city break.
Kent, United Kingdom
A quirky and characterful manor with rock and roll roots, this Kentish hideaway features secret staircases, velvet sofas, and a party-loving past. It’s an ideal launchpad for exploring the Garden of England.
Barnsley, United Kingdom
The newest arrival to The Pig family, located near the charming town of Barnsley. Set in a classic Cotswolds stone country house, this highly anticipated opening is already drawing attention for its promise of rustic luxury and garden-to-plate excellence.
Dorset, United Kingdom
Perched above Studland Bay with sweeping sea views, this fairy-tale house by the sea offers a blend of Dorset charm, Victorian whimsy, and direct access to coastal walks and fossil-rich shores.
Joining Best Loved Hotels is a natural fit for The Pig collection. Both share a passion for independently owned character-rich properties that deliver exceptional guest experiences. The Pig Hotels bring an earthy elegance and a fierce commitment to sustainability and local sourcing that perfectly complement Best Loved’s ethos.
Whether you’re a food lover, a nature seeker, or simply in need of a countryside escape with personality, The Pig Hotels deliver memorable moments in every season.
