After you've settled in, it's time to head straight to PIGSPA for some well-deserved pampering. This luxurious spa offers a variety of personalised treatments tailored to your needs, including massages that relax muscles and reduce stress, facials that rejuvenate the skin and enhance your natural glow, and body treatments like exfoliating scrubs and detoxifying wraps that leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed. 

In addition to these treatments, PIGSPA offers specialised options for couples, perfect for a romantic treat. Natural ingredients are used in the treatments, utilising handmade PIGSPA or TEMPLESPA products, resulting in a truly uplifting and relaxing spa experience.

Top tip: Spa treatments are in high demand, so make sure to book your appointment well in advance—preferably 2 to 4 weeks before your stay. This ensures you don't miss out​.

If you haven’t made it to PIGSPA, don’t worry - the spa experience comes to you! The beauty of The Pigs lies in its rooms, which double as private spa retreats, giving you the ultimate relaxing spa experience. Spend your afternoon exploring the in-room amenities like the sauna, steam room, dual-bathing tub, and hot tub (depending on your room type), all while enjoying your favourite tunes through the Bluetooth speakers.

Top tip: For an optimal sauna experience, spend 15 minutes in the sauna, followed by a 15-minute rest. Rinse with cold water and repeat this cycle three times to maximise relaxation and health benefits​.

As dinner time approaches, take advantage of the complimentary TEMPLESPA products to pamper yourself with. Step under the drench shower and wrap yourself in a cosy robe as you prepare for a delicious dinner at The Pigs Pub. With your senses revitalised and your spirits lifted, you’re all set to enjoy an evening of good food and good company​.

When you're ready, make your way to one of the best country pubs in the county, The Pigs Pub. The welcoming staff will greet you and show you to your table. Choose from a wide range of drinks from wine, prosecco, draughts and ales, gins, and soft drinks - we recommend the piggy cocktails!

The Pub serves up a range of seasonal British pub food and classic menus, living up to its name with a variety of mouthwatering pork dishes on offer. If you’re not a pork fan, don't worry; choose from the other meat, fish, or vegetarian dishes available. Enjoy the perfect romantic ambience at a cosy, candlelit table with your loved one.

Alternatively, choose not to leave your room for a second and take advantage of the room service options! You can get anything from the dinner menu delivered straight to your room for no extra cost, allowing you to pig out in the comfort of your room.

It's time to toast! Head to the honesty bar in the corridor to grab some complimentary marshmallows, then enjoy a firepit session in your courtyard. Light the fire, snuggle up, and toast marshmallows under the stars. This is a must-do at The Pigs, offering a special and romantic way to end the day together.

Wake up feeling relaxed after a comfortable night's sleep, and treat yourself to a morning coffee from the Nespresso machine in your room. Picture this: you're enjoying each sip of your morning brew while the fresh Norfolk countryside air fills your lungs. Pure bliss! It's the perfect way to kickstart your morning and set yourself up for a day of adventure.

Take your time and enjoy your room and its facilities to the fullest until check-out at 11am, then feast on a delicious complimentary brunch afterwards! It doesn’t get much better than brunch at The Pigs; choose from a range of cooked breakfast options, thick pancake stacks, fresh fruit, juices, yoghurt, cereals, freshly baked goods, and even sausage rolls!
