Lovely, spacious barn style accommodation with 3 good size double bedrooms. Nice and warm inside (we were there in early Feb!) and with a great view of the valley from all but one room. Parking for 3 cars right outside the front door, two great pubs within a 20min walk across the fields/along the lanes.and just a 10 min drive of delightful SherbornRead moree with its beautiful Abbey. Looking forward to a 3rd visit :0) Hide

The barn was very comfortable and plenty roomy enough for 3 of us but my sister couldnt sleep in the single bed as it was uncomfortable Shame the barn was surrounded by recently ploughed pastureland as I found this rather oppressive although the views to the hills were superb and the area was super quiet

We had a wonderful stay at The Piggery. It was very comfortable and clean. The dogs loved the wrap around garden and it was ideal for my 87 year old Mum.

The surrounding countryside is beautiful and from some views you only see the valley and fields. It's a very tranquil setting. The Piggery is clean, comfortable and nicely decorated throughout with garden access from all bedrooms and lounge. We had a very relaxing stay with our dog and parents. We would consider returning and would recommend.
