The verdict

THE PIG at Brockenhurst is the splurge for people who travel to eat. It's the group's original hotel, built in 1602 as a lodge, with a conservatory restaurant cooking daily menus from within 25 miles and its own kitchen garden.

A Snug showed £265 (about US$350) on October 3, 2026 and £285 when we looked again on October 4 — the rate moves by date, so price your own night. Family rooms started at £389 (about US$515), and the page doesn't say whether VAT is included. There are 31 rooms, from Forest Huts to Hideaways.

By our routing Mayflower is about 15.4 road miles and 30 minutes away. No ride, no pool, and no rating we could confirm.

Book it for dinner and the room, and book the car to the docks at the same time.

Book it if

  • Dinner is the event
  • Couples who like a cabin or a hut
  • Families — there are family rooms

Look elsewhere if

  • You want a pool.
  • You want a rating on paper.
  • You'd rather not drive on sail morning.
