THE PIG Brockenhurst
Brockenhurst, Hampshire
The original PIG and still a joy: shabby-chic rooms, a greenhouse restaurant cooking from its own garden, and the forest on the doorstep. It's not a kids-club place, so it suits families happy to fill the day with bike rides and pony spotting and come back to a brilliantly relaxed dinner.

Days out nearby
Beaulieu – National Motor Museum ↗
~4 miles · ~15 mins
Castle / historic · nearby attraction
Famous film and TV vehicles, a monorail over the grounds, a palace house and abbey and lovely river walks. One ticket fills a day in the New Forest, near several luxury hotels.
~6 miles · ~15 mins
Wildlife park · nearby attraction
Specialises in British and European wildlife, with otters as the stars plus wolves, bears and owls among the trees. Feeding talks run through the day, and it sits right in the New Forest beside plenty of luxury stays.
Paultons Park – Home of Peppa Pig World ↗
~11 miles · ~15 mins
Theme park · nearby attraction
Peppa Pig World is the draw for little ones, but the wider park has dinosaur land, gardens full of birds and rides that step up gradually as children grow. It sits on the edge of the New Forest, so it pairs well with a countryside weekend.
The Needles Landmark Attraction ↗
~14 miles · ~15 mins
Adventure park · nearby attraction
A chairlift down to Alum Bay's coloured sand cliffs, sweet-making demonstrations and boat trips out to the Needles rocks. Children love filling sand bottles; a classic Isle of Wight day.
~18 miles · ~30 mins
Wildlife park · excellent toddler activity
A small primate and wildlife rescue centre where talks introduce each rescued monkey, owl or meerkat. Short and gentle enough for toddlers, it is a good rainy-morning add-on to an Isle of Wight break.
~19 miles · ~30 mins
Theme park · nearby attraction
An Alice-in-Wonderland themed park with gentle rides, a hedge maze and big indoor play zones, perfect for toddlers and young children. Good backup for rainy days near Bournemouth and the New Forest.
~20 miles · ~30 mins
Zoo · ideal day trip
A conservation zoo in parkland near Winchester, with snow leopards, rhinos and giraffes, a road train to save little legs and several good adventure playgrounds. It is calmer than the big city zoos and works nicely alongside a Hampshire countryside stay.
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard ↗
~24 miles · ~30 mins
Castle / historic · ideal day trip
HMS Victory, the Mary Rose and HMS Warrior in one ticket, plus action stations-style activities and harbour boat tours. Plenty of hands-on bits for children and easy to combine with Gunwharf Quays.
