Leave the week behind in the Cotswolds.
(because planning is overrated)
Some of the best weekends start with a last-minute decision. A gap in the diary, a sudden urge to escape to the countryside, a bottle of something good waiting to be opened.
THE PIG-in the Cotswolds is tucked away among rolling hills, honey-stone villages and winding country lanes, with a Kitchen Garden at its heart and the best of the Cotswolds on its doorstep. No agenda required. Just fresh air, good food and a slower pace of life.
The kind of few days you didn't plan, but ended up being your favourite.
We're often asked which PIG to book for a spontaneous stay. THE PIG-in the Cotswolds has a way of making the decision for you.
Rolling hills, honey-coloured villages, charming market towns on the doorstep and a Kitchen Garden that shapes every menu. Pack a bag, head for the Cotswolds and leave the rest to us.

THE PIG-in the Cotswolds
Morning
Late morning
Pull on your boots and head out into the Cotswolds. Footpaths from the doorstep wind through rolling hills, meadows and ancient woodland, with honey-coloured villages and sweeping countryside views along the way. Take your time exploring, this is the sort of place that makes it easy to lose track of an afternoon.
Or venture a little further to nearby Cirencester or Bibury, both within easy reach and perfect for an unhurried wander. Browse independent shops, stop for a coffee and soak up the charm of some of the Cotswolds' most-loved destinations before heading back to the house.
Lunch
Afternoon
A treatment at the Fieldhouse Spa is never a bad idea. Tucked away in the countryside, it's the perfect place to slow down for a few hours and switch off properly.
Or, if you'd rather be out exploring, spend the afternoon wandering the boutiques and cafés of Cirencester, discovering the independent makers at Elkstone Studios, or taking a trip to Bibury Trout Farm and the picture-perfect village beyond. There's plenty to see, all within easy reach of the hotel.
Evening
A cocktail in the bar before dinner, mixed with ingredients inspired by the Kitchen Garden and the changing seasons. The wine list is packed with bottles from across England and beyond, making it easy to discover something new or settle in with an old favourite.
Dinner follows at a leisurely pace, with views across the surrounding Cotswold countryside. The 25 Mile Menu is shaped by ingredients from the Kitchen Garden and local producers, making every plate a reflection of the season and this corner of the Cotswolds. A nightcap. Bed.
The Next Morning…
Wake up slowly, again. The grazing table is ready when you are, and the daily Kitchen Garden tour is the perfect chance to see what's growing, what's being picked and what might be appearing on the menu later that day.
Then either check out at your own pace or, if you've booked an extra night, settle in for another day of good food, countryside walks and Cotswold exploring. After all, one more night never hurts.

Experience nature right on your doorstep...
The best way to experience summer at THE PIG? In rooms where the outside comes in. All with views that make you want to stay in bed a bit longer, terraces for your morning coffee, and that feeling of waking up somewhere special.
Here are our favourite rooms for a summer stay - from our woodland hideaways, to our garden wagons and our perfectly romantic hideaway cabins!

Field View Rooms
... open directly from your Field View bedroom out onto your private terrace, furnished with Adirondack loungers and overlooking the lush fields of the Cotswolds. The rooms themselves are tucked away in the peace and quiet of the gardens, beyond the main house, built in beautiful honey-hued Cotswold stone. Inside, they are adorned with all the cosy PIG familiarities from whimsical floral fabrics to wooden panelling, and you can sink down and switch off in peace, looking out to clear skies and listening to gentle birdsong.

Secret Garden
Tucked away in the heart of Rosemary Verey’s original gardens, this secluded room is a private getaway separate from the main house with its own walled outside garden and plenty of room to relax and unwind in – not to mention the huge outdoor bathtub to sink down into! There is a freestanding bath in the bedroom, as well as a comfortable super-king bed – and in the separate lounge area, there are plenty of cosy armchairs and soft furnishings to really make yourself at home in the heart of Rosemary Verey’s original arts and crafts style gardens.

Stableyard rooms
Our secluded Stableyard is just a few steps away from the main house and is home to our very own duplex-style bedrooms that are just perfect for two. Each bedroom has a slightly different layout with its own private outdoor access with all the familiar rustic and welcoming furnishings of THE PIG waiting for you on the inside – including a comfy super-king bed, a large monsoon shower and a freestanding rolltop bath, plus a cosy sofa or armchairs to snuggle up in.

Big Comfy Luxe
These very large bedrooms have really comfortable super-king beds and cosy separate seating areas, as well as very big bathrooms with a freestanding bath and monsoon shower. Some Big Comfy Luxe rooms have the bathtub in the bedroom, original features such as exposed beams, and views over the lovely green lawn at the front of the house.
