Peace, quiet and countryside

It’s the perfect time to escape to Somerset

THE PIG-near Bath

Winter at THE PIG‑near Bath is all about frost‑kissed fields, quiet country lanes and long rambles over rolling Somerset hills. With crisp air, crowd‑free Bath and hearty, fire‑side dishes waiting when you wander back, it’s the perfect time to slow the pace and soak up our patch of the Mendips.

4 reasons to head to our patch this season

Forget traffic jams and packed restaurants. In winter, Somerset returns to its peaceful roots - perfect for spontaneous adventures.

Wander the Georgian streets of Bath at your own pace, dipping into independent shops and galleries with time (and space) to linger.
Misty valleys, rolling hills and peaceful woodland paths — bracing morning hikes and slow afternoon strolls, right from our doorstep.

 

Slow down, switch off and settle into a deeply relaxing treatment in our rustic Potting Sheds — your mind and body will thank you.
With the countryside easing into the quiet rhythm of yester‑year, this is the perfect moment for a spontaneous escape.

Wind down and dig in

This is the time of year to turn in for a long soak in a roll-top bath, sink into a deep, restful night’s sleep and wake up gently with a cup of something warm in your hands, looking out to the Fallow Deer in our surrounding misty fields.

That’s why we’re relaxing the price of our treatments when you sleepover at ours, Sunday–Thursday, in early 2026 – with brekkie already wrapped up in the price of the stay, for a little more reason to start your year, the PIG way.
 
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, our midweek Chef’s Picks set menu is brimming with fresh pickings this month to warm you from the inside out.

So wind down or dig in?
(or why not choose both?)
