Built into Southampton’s medieval city walls, THE PIG in the Wall is a Georgian townhouse with a long local life - once a private home, later the city’s first pub, and now a 12-room hideaway from the team behind THE PIG in Brockenhurst. Here, snug rooms and spacious hideaways share a playful, well-worn style with colorful tiled floors, freestanding tubs, vintage phones, and distressed wood. Details matter here: Bramley products, locally wrapped soaps, and larders full of treats. The deli-bar downstairs serves wine, snacks, and something always freshly baked. For a night before the ferry, or no reason at all, a stay here makes it unexpectedly hard to leave.
