Welcome to
Our mellow yellow house situated along Studland Bay, truly rural, with uninterrupted views of the long stretches of Dorset's sandy coastlines.
Don't miss out on our next available stays!
A walled Kitchen Garden, a sea view conservatory restaurant, a path down to the beach, our own beach hut, a herd of Dorset Horn sheep, roaring log fires and a fairy-tale gargoyle or two.
It all starts in the Kitchen Garden
Everything is driven by our Kitchen Gardeners, Forager and Chef – they grow and find the food, our Chef then creates the menu; uncomplicated and simple British garden and sea foraged food, true to the micro seasons with the emphasis squarely on fresh, clean flavours.
With a serious commitment to the place we call home, we celebrate Dorset and everything it has to offer... and taste! We work with 36 local suppliers to create our 25 mile menu, and the list keeps growing.
Menus
Our commitment to a 25 mile menu not only supports our local suppliers, but means we can be 100% honest on the provenance of our ingredients.
Take a look at our menus to get a feel for what we may be dishing up. Please note these are subject to change.
Oh we do like to be beside the seaside

Relaxing treatments
Fresh sea air and a bit of pampering! Not what you would expect to find in a Sheep Hut, but down in our huts take a little time out and enjoy a revitalising spa treatment in total peace.
Explore THE PIG
Whether you’re with us for lunch or a few nights, feel free to wander, there is lots to explore.

Getting here
Unspoilt views of Dorset’s coastline, our 23 bedroom mellow yellow house perfectly situated along Studland Bay.
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.
*Please note: The Sandbanks Ferry is closed until 20th November 2024.
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
Martin from Swanage and Purbeck Taxi are a local taxi service and always on hand to get you where you need to be! Give them a call on 07969927424
Alternatively you can give Bill's Taxis a call on 07549776736 if you're needing a lift to our house.
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.
