THE PIG

Kitchen-garden hotel where dogs eat out on the terraces

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“The original PIG, a country house hotel on the edge of Brockenhurst built around its kitchen garden. A small number of rooms take one dog each. It suits food-led couples with a calm, lead-trained dog, because dogs stay outdoors or in the room rather than in the house. When the terraces are open you can eat outside with the dog.

Why it's in the collection

The hotel backs onto open New Forest, and Balmer Lawn, the green beside the Lymington River where ponies graze, is on the far side of Brockenhurst village, a short drive away.

Best suited for

One dog per room, no larger than a Labrador, and dogs stay out of the main house and indoor restaurant.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Pet pricing

GBP 40, Per night, plus a GBP 500 pre-authorisation for damage or extra cleaning

Dogs can join you on the outdoor terraces when they're open, including for meals, and on lead walks around the grounds. They aren't allowed in the main house, the indoor restaurant, the bars, communal guest areas or the Kitchen Gardens. A crate is provided so your dog can settle in the room while you go to dinner. No evening turndown in dog rooms unless you arrange it while you're out walking.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
