The Pigsty Orchard Farm Reviews

ellen

Outstanding hosts, warm welcoming and very attentive to thier guests. Couldn't do enough for us and the cottage was warm and had everything you needed. Recommend in a heartbeat and would return.

Deborah

The cottage was exactly as shown in the photos. We were absolutely delighted with the booking. Great communication with the owner.

Pauline

Great cottage would highly recommend.

stephanie

Beautiful cottage and very well equipped with all you need. Good showers and comfortable beds. The owners are very near by as the cottages are in the garden Owners were helpful when needed. We loved the remote location but not for those wanting to be near to shops or places to eat. Good central base to visit the coast.

Jayne

The cottage was very clean and tidy . It was lovely and quiet in a great rural location but plenty of places to visit within an hours drive. Very friendly host. Really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Jayne

Maura

Nice quiet place to stay.The only problem is the road to get in and out, it is very narrow with lots of bends and the hedges are that high you can't see what is coming.We nearly had a head on collision .

Melanie

Perfectly relaxing place to stay

Alexandra

Beautiful cottage, well equipped. Very clean.

Adrian

Great stay, quiet location.

Clare

The Pigsty was nothing like any pigsty I've seen: comfortable, well equipped, clean and light. We sooo much appreciated our holiday. Sadly the area was badly affected by flooding, so we avoided local walks and sought out hills. A great area for a relaxing holiday.

Helen

Clean, comfortable, well equipped, warm and modern. Just what we wanted. Nice peaceful spot. Lovely welcome pack of treats which we appreciated. Hestercombe Gardens and the canal walks both worth a visit. Nice food and friendly service at The Canal Inn, The Lime Kiln Inn and The Bear. Would definitely recommend this place.

Kirsty

The cottage was extremely well maintained and facilities were very good. The beds were very comfortable. We only stayed for three nights and would have loved to have stayed longer. Views from the cottage were pretty stunning.

Angela

'The Pigsty' cottage, we found, is a high-end, very well fitted-out, well designed (for 4x adults) well insulated and well equipped cottage, all in immaculate condition. We stayed here following collecting our campervan from fitting-out by a company in Caldicot, Wales, and headed down to Taunton area for four nights with friends. Despite a cold raiRead moreny day and cooler evenings, use of the heating or the log fire was unnecessary. We are not hot tub people, but a great looking tub is provided. Hide

Patricia

We always stay in dog friendly accommodation and standards vary enormously. However, the Pigsty was by far the nicest, best equipped and the most comfortable out of all the properties we have stayed in (which must be well over 30 over the years). We would happily recommend it and would stay here again.

Terry

Really nice place, very comfortable and roomy. Really liked the layout with the lounge/diner/kitchen area in the middle and two large double bedrooms with ensuite at either end. Really good wifi as well which isn't always the case

Alexander

Everything was just great.

Donna

Lovely stay and friendly but non-intrusive hosts. Great base for walking.

Matthew

Lovely cottage very clean and comfy we had a great time and we will be returning.

Alexa

Absolutely lovely conversion of an outbuilding! Really nice comfy beds and quiet location with a nice view. Kids loved the tennis court. Owners very helpful and friendly without intruding. You may need quite a bit of wood for the hot tub. We didn't use it quite as much as we would have liked for that reason, but also because the week we were there was a bit too rainy sadly. Would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing break away from it all.

Lewis

Really enjoyed our stay at the Pigsty. Very well equipment property. Great views across the countryside. Perfect getaway with the dogs and friends. Will be returning again.

Tonia

Fantastic countryside retreat to really relax. Has all the facilities needed, whether using as a base to explore the area or to use as a holiday home.

Ian

Loved The Pigsty accommodation. Lovely property and very friendly / helpful owners. Accommodation topped off with the tennis court which was a big tick for our son. Great place and enjoyed our stay.

Andrew

The accommodation is of an excellent standard and had no complaints. However, the owners house is very close and it does invade the privacy in the cottage. The jacuzzi in our opinion wouldnt have been usable because of the location of the main house.

Martin

We only stayed 2 nights in this beautifully designed barn conversion, but it was enough for us to appreciate the quality of the work done, the oh so comfortable sofas, the log fire, the under floor heating, the pristine ensuite showers, the fabulous wood fired hot tub that the owner kindly helped us with. A wonderful welcome pack, as well as compli mentary bath products, dishwasher tablets, and toilet rolls, just like a boutique hotel! Our little dog was happy too! Bravo "The Pigsty"!

Ian

Excellent cottage Ideal for couples with dogs.

Steven

Fantastic property, everything you need for your holiday. Quiet and peaceful location, ideal if you have dogs. Hot tub was a bonus. Would recommend.

Sharon

Fantastic property and location ! Clean and everything you need for your holiday catered for . Lovely walks for dogs

Pauline

This was an outstanding cottage in a wonderful place. Quite off the beaten track. Very comfortable and some great recommendations for pubs. Lovely relaxing hot tub.we would go again without question. Some lovely walks as well if you have dogs.

Alison

We have stayed in quite a few cottages and The Pigsty was by far the best. A beautifully restored cottage, with two roomy bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare and cook any meal. The hot tub was also a much enjoyed extra, a couple of bags of logs and a little patience and you can relax in the wonderful wate r. There were four adults in our party and we all had plenty of room and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Sue

The Pigsty is a very comfortable, well equipped holiday cottage. Easily accommodated 4 adults and 2 dogs. Beautiful views from the terrace. Good dog walking area.

Caroline

Wonderful property and facilities in a beautiful part of Somerset! Lovely welcome pack and some great things to do recommendations from the owners. Found some lovely walks from the doorstep and a fabulous local pub within walking distance. Would highly recommend The Pigsty!

Linda

The Pigsty was amazing . so clean, well equipped and beautifully decorated throughout. Very dog friendly, we enjoyed the hot tub and had a lovely relaxing few days - thank you.

Rachel

We wanted to stay in a rural location with our dog and found this beautiful barn. Very well equipped with everything you need to feel like home from home - plus a hot tub! Lovely touch of food & drink welcome gifts when we arrived and overall a really comfy and cosy stay. Amazing walks and scenery within a short distance away and easy to drive to s hops if needed. Felt very safe on site and was a bonus that it was dog friendly! Would highly recommend for a short break in the country!

Beth

We had a busy holiday visiting family but it was lovely to come back every day to such a peaceful and well equipped cottage. Would definitely recommend! Lovely place!

Claire

Weve just come back from a weekend stay at this property and I have to say we were all blown away by the standard of the accommodation and attention to detail. The accommodation was extremely clean and well finished and had everything you could possibly need. The hot tub was a little tricky to get going but Martin the owner was more than happy to h elp and nothing was too much trouble. A welcome pack of chocolates, cider and crisps were a nice touch too! Well definitely be back!!

Katarzyna

Beautiful place for families and couples.

Tim

Stunning location and building. Everything you need for a really comfortable stay. The pigsty was superbly presented and clean. We loved our stay and will be back in the future. Make sure you grab a few bags of logs from the local petrol station to get the hot tub going (15 worth is enough)

Lynne

This cottage was to an excellent standard perfect for two couples and their dogs to spend quality time together but also have their own space bedrooms of a good size and both with on suit which was perfect no bathroom negotiation required, the kitchen was very well equipped the knives were very sharp, we were able to cook every night with out a pro blem, The under floor heating is very efficient, log burner is a lovely feature, view and walks amazing. no need to use the car local pub great.

Adrian

Had a really nice stay at the pigsty, very clean and homely. Would definitely stay there again, there's plenty of nice walks from your doorstep and when your done you can come back and get warm in the hot tub or the by the log burner.

Susan

This is a fabulous property , very clean & comfortable and an excellent base from which to explore the attractions in the area.
