The Piggery Reviews

Victor

Owners were friendly and accommodating. It was spotlessly clean, the decor was immaculate, well kitted out and very spacious. Lovely open fire with lots of logs provided. Very quiet and peaceful setting, although it is quite remote (30 minutes drive to the coast). We enjoyed using the private hot tub. The bedroom had black out blinds- so was very dRead moreark.

Had our first stay at The Piggery this week & thoroughly enjoyed it. The property is perfect for us & our dogs.

Cathy

Property was beautiful, immaculately furnished with everything you could need. The hot tub was a welcome treat after walking all day, and our dogs enjoyed the walks available on the owners land. Literally home from home. Hosts were beyond helpful and to hand if needed but not invasive on our stay.

Steve

Most relaxing holiday ever. Very spacious property, well laid out with everything you need without being cluttered. Also being a pet friendly property, ( we're not pet people ), I was worried it might smell like a wet dog on a hot day as in another property we once stayed at. I needn't have worried. From arrival to departure it was "Wow, glad we chRead moreose to stay here". And with a whole week of sun it was a great end to our silver wedding celebrations. Huge thanks to Ian and Annie. Hide

Julie

The Piggery offered everything we needed and more! Immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The dog walks were wonderful, lots of safe space for them to be let off.

Having stayed at 4x 4* cottages with hot tubs in the last 2 years in this local area, this is by far the best. Very clean, hot tub perfect after long days.

Clive

The house was very pretty as we approached and as we open the door it smelt so clean. The bed was massive and comfy. I would recommend the piggery as a very relaxing retreat.

Sarah

We thoroughly enjoyed our week's holiday at the piggery. Throughout our stay, the owner Ian was very friendly whenever I bumped into him while out walking the dog on the farm. He came to show us the workings of the hot tub and told us where we could walk the dog on the farm at the begining of our stay, then left us to it. Obviously we could contact him if we needed to. The cottage was very clean upon arrival and there was plenty of storage space for all of our things. We will definitely return.

Chloe

The cottage was lovely, in a peaceful and quiet area, however the area does not have much around it, so i would suggest shopping for food before you arrive as the closest supermarket (besides one small spar about 10 mins away) is about half an hour away. The owner is lovely and showed us around where we could walk the dog. which theres lot of space where he could run around and chase a ball etc. Hot tub was so nice and relaxing and very private. overall a really nice, relaxing get away

Bev

Fantastic property and location.........so good this was the 3rd year we have stayed for a fortnight. Hits all the buttons - lovely accommodation, good location as whilst in the countryside only a few minutes from the well stocked village community shop and around 35 minutes from all the lovely beaches on the North Devon coastline. Large patio give s options to sit in the sun or under cover and the hot tub is a lovely way to relax.

Fiona

Well equipped comfortable cottage, warm welcome by Iain and huge field that the dog to run in. Dog poo bins provided

amanda

So clean and modern and a lovely box of goodies to welcome us. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything has been thought of for the whole stay to make you relax . our dog drake settle d down really quick. There are fields an orchard and a beautiful wood for dog walks. The hot tub was wonderful and had a lovely view.

Marie

A very comfortable property, well equipped and stylish. It's in a great location, quiet and rural but within very easy reach of several towns and beautiful beaches. If you don't want to drive there are a number of walks directly from the property. Dog friendly and very welcoming owners. The hot tub is perfect after a day exploring the local area.

David

WOW!! A lovely piece of heaven in Devon! based on a farm with fields all around made a great location for my wife and I with our Rottie. Greeted by the super friendly owner on arrival, gave us guided tour and all info we needed. Upon entering was warm, cosy and very clean, spotless! A lovely welcome pack which was a great touch! Very spacious accom modation, Overall, we just wish we could have stayed longer than 2 nights, very relaxing. Would not hesitate to rebook in the future.

Julie

A beautiful place with a very high standard of finish. Lovely location with plenty of country walks. The owners were very welcoming and had Al so left us a basket of local produce. We would definitely recommend the piggery.

We had an amazing time at the Piggery, it is a lovely place! We got given a hamper with delicious eggs and biscuits! Our Labrador loved exploring all of the fields, especially the meadow! We all felt very chilled and at home in the Piggery. We hope to come again for much longer next time :)

Kathryn

Lovely place to stay, clean, tidy and tranquil. Best bit was the hot tub, clean, easy to work and secluded.

The Piggery is a heavenly slice of luxury in the Devon countryside. It is beautifully equipped & decorated with every need considered for a comfortable stay.

Beautiful location. Gorgeous property. Lovely views. Immaculate and clean property. Hosts were lovely. Welcome basket was great(delicious apple juice) Hot tub was so relaxing. TVs, nice and big. Bed was comfy. Good WiFi. Nice sized secured patio area for dogs. Great fields for walking dogs.

Dawn

A beautiful holiday home, super clean & very homely with everything you need.We had a wonderful week & would 100% rebook. The home is spacious, modern but cosy with the underfloor heating & log burner. The hot tub is huge & the outdoor patio is fantastic. If you have dogs there isnt really anywhere to walk them after dark apart from the farm lane w hich is pitch black, this is the only issue we had. Would recommend anyone considering to simply book it! I didnt want to come home!

Calum

Fantastic set up and really enjoyed our stay

Barry

Well prepared & very relaxing cottage. Owners very welcoming & gave us time to explain workings of hot tub. Enjoyable break

Bev

Our 2nd visit and delighted to find the same high standard of accommodation and equipment as last year. The location is ideal as whilst you can enjoy the views and tranquillity of being in the countryside there is a local community shop a couple of miles away and most beaches and places of interest are within a half hour drive of the property. Havi ng access to fields and woodland walks on the farm is ideal for dog owners. We loved it so much we have booked to return for a 3rd time next year!

Ellie

We had a lovely stay at The Piggery, extremely clean, perfect location for dog walks, the owners were extremely friendly! I felt we had lack of privacy, due to a barn opposite being taken down, so workers over looking us all day. Obviously bad timing. Also the position the dog bin is, we had other residents over looking us daily, which was not idea l! However, Overall, the property is great, would highly recommend.

Lisa

Absolutely stunning accommodation and very spacious for two people would highly recommend for a romantic getaway for couples.
