Long Lazy Lunch
Sheep Hut treatments and wood-fired eating... the ultimate way to unwind.
You don’t have to be staying with us to enjoy one of our Sheep Hut treatments! We offer organic, seaweed-based facials, massages and body treatments using VOYA; a family-run brand that shares our ethos of authenticity and well-being.
Why not book in for some down time in our rustic retreats and grab a flatbread whilst you're at it?
Three Toppings to Jazz Up Your Flatbreads
An all-round crowd-pleaser – you can’t go wrong with a homemade flatbread in the warmer months. But what really sets these bad boys apart is the toppings. We’ve got a few you’ve got to try… (you can thanks us later).

Getting here
With totally unspoilt views of Dorset’s coastline, our higgledy-piggledy house on up on the cliff is the ultimate ‘switch-off spot’.
THE PIG-on the beach
By road
If you’re staying longer than a night or two, a car’s handy for exploring. Less than three hours from London, the Studland Bay peninsula is best reached via the car ferry across the mouth of Poole harbour. You can also reach Studland without using the ferry by following the B3351 down towards Swanage. In the summer roads can become congested with holidaymakers so please allow delays in your journey (but it's worth the effort). There's a free on-site car park for hotel guests.
Nearest station
A train from central London takes around two hours. The closest station is Wareham, on South West Trains' London Waterloo–Weymouth line, about 20 minutes' drive from the hotel; it has connections to Poole, Southampton, Sussex, Wales and beyond.
Taxi service
Bill's Taxis are a local taxi service and always on hand to get you where you need to be! Give them a call on 07549776736 if you're needing a lift to our house. Alternatively you can also give Swanage and Purbeck Taxi a call on 07969 927424.
Nearest airport
If you're needing to be within close proximity to an airport, Bournemouth Airport is 27 miles away and it takes around an hour to get there by car.
