    Although the smallest of the Pigs still to their inimitable standards. Amazing staff - room really comfortable - beautifully decorated . Great breakfast with plenty of home made fare and well located near the Marina . On site car parking really helpful

    Nothing to fault at all!

    Beautiful hotel,warmly greeted, fantastic large room on ground floor as requested. Very large comfortable bed. Lovely bedding and pillows so comfy did not want to get out of bed! Great decoration of room. Loved the tea making facilities as not just your usual standard tea bags etc. High quality products, a cute little bottle of milk in the fridge. Nice water bottle each that they will refill for you for free. Free chocolate treat in cupboard along with lots of goodies you can purchase. Wine, champagne and tumblers provided and corkscrew. Dressing gown and comfy towels, flannels, Quality hand soap and shower products. Lovely modern shower, bathroom. Wooden shutters along with curtains you can use to block out light. Excellent parking facilities through secured gate for £12. Restaurant is quirky, small but as previously mentioned plenty of room for diners. Food is fantastic and very filling, could not finish sausage roll as so huge and tasty, took it home in dogie box and bought another to take home the next morning. Compliments to the Chef. If you want fast food go elsewhere, this is fresh food and you wait for it to be cooked, which is worth it. Location great, next to the walls you can access. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again! Thank you !

    Nothing, all good

    Perfectly located for exploring the city and Ocean Village nearby, the incredibly warm and welcoming staff, and the room itself was a little luxury. The pillows are the best I’ve ever had the fortune of lying on :-). Delicious breakfast and on site parking was good too.

    Nothing to dislike, but overall, my expectations were higher, based on other Pig hotels/restaurants.

    Comfortable rooms with all the amenities you need. Bed and pillows were perfect. I would call it a piglet, it's a scaled down version of the other hotels. As an example, there's a very limited dinner menu. Very nice but doesn't compare to the other hotels. The staff were professional, friendly and chilled.

    Limited menu and small portions. No crisps, nuts etc available to purchase only snacks from the menu which were expensive and rather bland. Lighting in bedroom, stairs and entrance from the car park was very dark. Needs bigger bedside tables.

    Great location, good vibe. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Excellent quality food. Safe parking on site.

Great location, wonderful atmosphere, loved the quirkiness and luxurious touches like herbal teas, plenty of free water and fresh milk, radio playing gently in the room on arrival, robes etc Superb service from all of the staff. Only wished I could have stayed for longer! Thanks to the team x

    We had a great stay - the room was stylish, spacious and very clean. The hotel overall had a real charm and a rustic aesthetic which appealed. The communal area offered a relaxed ambience which was very inviting after a day touring Winchester and Southampton. Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. Can't fault our stay and would definitely visit again!

    Just the limited menu.

    We enjoyed our quirky room, comfortable bed and lovely shower room. It was a perfect location for us and despite being near a busy road, was very quiet. Our dinners were well cooked and delicious but the menu is very limited for an evening meal.
