Inspector comments
"Fabulously creative accommodation set in splendid gardens."
Overview
THE PIG on the Beach is a former summer house set in beautiful grounds in a dramatic coastal location. The grounds feature hotel livestock, including pigs and chickens, and there's a walled garden which provides produce for the popular greenhouse restaurant. Alfresco eating is possible in the warmer months as there is a wood-fired oven in the grounds. The bedrooms come in an array of shapes and sizes – some are in the main house and some feature rooms are to be found in outbuildings. All are spacious, have high quality fixtures and come with their own larders and Nespresso machines. There are plenty of comfortable lounges where guests can make themselves at home, including a cosy cocktail lounge. Treatments can be taken in the two attractively converted shepherd's huts, and there's The Roundhouse which is ideal for private dining in a peaceful garden setting.

About the area
Dorset is made up of rugged coastlines, high chalk downlands and a chain of picturesque villages and seaside towns that make up Britain’s Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, noted for its layers of shale and numerous fossils embedded in the rock. Hidden gems of Dorset can be found down winding, country lanes that lead to snug villages hidden from view.
