Check out this week’s Hotel of the Week: THE PIG-near Bath – Pensford, Somerset…
This may be just one of six rural-themed PIG hotels, but its 2014 advent broke new ground for the group: a proper, grown-up hotel that has all the country house attributes (space, proportions, dreamy views), but none of the drawbacks (staid, formal, eye-wateringly expensive). It’s fun and glamorous without ever losing sight of comfort. ‘It’s THE PIG on steroids,’ said owner Robin Hutson, though not the price, which is the opposite of pumped-up.
Once again Judy Hutson created the look: Belgian tiles, quirky wallpaper, velvet curtains, oil paintings and chandeliers, plus a wonderfully louche private dining room based on The Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet: ragamuffins feasting in a castle. As at all the PIGS, the kitchen garden is central and its abundant produce appears on your plate in the lovely conservatory. A great venue for one of the PIGS’ fantastic Smoked and Uncut festivals, when you can take a room or glamp in a bell tent if the mood takes you.
Doubles from £155
TIP
SEE
THE PIG-near Bath is home to lots of four-legged friends, including some spotted fallow dear who can be spotted grazing peacefully in the hotel’s deer park. What better than some fallow deer being the first smiley faces you see each morning!
EAT
Tuck into a plate of Home-Reared Venison Haunch with Spiced Red Cabbage and Crispy Kale for a taste of THE PIG-near Bath.
BUY
Why not take a trip into the city of Bath and meander around the time-honoured, golden-coloured architecture. Be sure to take a step back in time and check out the ancient Roman Baths.
NOTA BENE
The first mention of the Hunstrete Estate, where THE PIG-near Bath peacefully sits, was first mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter of AD 936, where a passage makes reference to an enclosed deer park where THE PIG’s four-legged neighbours still roam today.
