The Pig in the Forest
The original Pig, deep in the New Forest, where the kitchen garden sets the menu and the mood is gloriously easy.
Our review
The Pig in the Forest is where the group began, and it remains a benchmark for relaxed, garden-to-plate country hotels. The greenhouse restaurant and walled garden are the heart of it.
Dog-friendly, forest-fringed and very easy to love.
