a getaway to the THE PIG-near Bath
a trip away doing very little (or a lot!)
When you roll up to THE PIG-near Bath, the Mendip Hills do the rest. Tucked into folds of countryside just twenty minutes from Bath, this is a PIG made for slow mornings, proper walks and the kind of Somerset cider you won't find anywhere else. Best of all, London is under two hours away by train.
Not sure how to spend your time at THE PIG? Here's a taste of what your day might look like…

Slow mornings made better
Wake up to birdsong, rustling leaves, and - if you're staying in The Hide - possibly a Fallow Deer or two right outside the window. Ease into the day with a cuppa in bed, or pull on your wellies and wander into the garden while the world's still quiet.
Plus a breakfast worth waking up for
Fuel up with a proper PIG breakfast - eggs fresh from the hens, our grazing table loaded with local cheeses, jams and baked goods.
Feeling cheeky? A Bloody Mary never goes amiss
Take a peek into our veg beds
Join our Kitchen Gardeners for a free daily tour and see what's sprouting, blooming or ready for picking - the same beds that shape tonight's menu.
Wander off to cheese and cider country
Afternoons here are made for exploring.
A short drive away, Bath Soft Cheese at Park Farm makes for a proper Somerset morning out - watch the cows being milked over a coffee and cake. Or head towards Cheddar for a taste of the cheese that gave the county its name.
Follow footpaths straight from the house into the Mendips, or take on Cheddar Gorge's clifftop walk for some of the best views in Somerset. Fancy something gentler? The Chew Magna loop takes in ancient stone circles at an easy pace. Or head into Bath itself - the Georgian crescents, the canal, and the Skyline walk with the whole city laid out below.
Unwind in the Potting Shed
Tucked away in the Kitchen Garden, you'll find our homely wooden huts brimming with charm and calm: our Potting Shed treatment rooms.
From soothing massages to bespoke facials, these rustic retreats are the perfect spot to recharge your batteries and simply be.
Or simply pop your feet up, glass in hand
Settle into a comfy corner of the bar with a book, a board game, or a cheeky tipple (or two).
And then feast like a Pig!
Dinner is the main event. Our 25 Mile Menu showcases the very best of the season, and our sommeliers are always on hand with a good story about what's in your glass - not least the local cider that put this county on the map.
Stay a little longer in the bar before heading back for a quiet end to the evening.
The Next Morning…
Another slow start, another grazing table, another chance to relax a little longer. Before you go, there's time for one more wander - a final look at the veg beds, a stop in Wells or Glastonbury, or simply one more walk into the hills.
Whether you're packing up or staying put, the rest of the day is yours.
Settle in for the night
Some of our rooms have wood burners or freestanding baths - light the fire, run the water, and drift off to the sound of the Mendips outside.
