A successful week-end for the Glastonbury Festival, and also for THE PIG near Bath, where Robin Hutson (Chairman and CEO for Lime Wood Group and Home Grown Hotels Ltd.) was joined by Alexa Chung, Daisy Lowe, Sam Smith and friends to celebrate the closing of Glastonbury weekend – in the idyllic surroundings and facilities of the hotel.
The group spent the day relaxing and recharging at the mellow Somerset hotel in the sunshine – they made use of the spa treatments in THE PIG’s Potting Sheds, played croquet, visited the live animals on site including pigs, hens and deer, and enjoyed seasonal British garden food made with locally sourced produce, most of which was grown in THE PIG’s very own kitchen garden.
By night, they sipped on Pina Coladas, Sohocello and Espresso Martinis as Sam Smith told ghost stories in the garden, after which they retired inside to turn the music up for a late night party where Alexa Chung DJ’d until the early hours.
About THE PIG near Bath
Opened in March 2014, THE PIG near Bath is one of the latest additions to the Pig litter. Formerly Hunstrete House, this Georgian House was lovingly restored by THE PIG team and designed in the same shabby chic style that THE PIG’s is renowned for. It features a greenhouse restaurant, a private room for parties and two Potting Shed treatment huts. There are 24 rooms in the main house, with a further five gardener’s cottage rooms within the grounds.
Tucked away in the folds of the rolling Mendip Hills, THE PIG near Bath is just a 10-minute drive from Bath. Perfectly situated for Glastonbury Festival while still being a real get-away location, the hotel is truly rural, set within an idyllic 20 acres of woodland and deer park with quintessentially English views of this undiscovered part of Somerset.
From garden to plate philosophy, what cannot be grown in THE PIG’s walled kitchen garden will be sourced within 25 miles. Idyllically situated in 40 acres of woodland and deer park, tucked away in the folds of the rolling Mendip Hills and just a 10-minute drive from Bath.
