Had a lovely week at the Piggery. Beautiful setting and magical to wake up to horses in the field opposite. Lots of gorgeous walks to do around exmoor. Our dogs were even more pleased than we were!

Wonderfully peaceful and comfortable for a restorative break in the countryside. The Piggery is thoughtfully furnished and has all the facilities needed for a home from home feel. Lovely quiet lane walk to Dulverton or connect with other footpaths for longer rambles.

Everything was spot on from beginning to end. The Piggery is a beautiful conversion with all the essentials you need for a comfortable, happy stay. We ate outside every evening as we were blessed with beautiful sun. We took our horses and they enjoyed their beautiful stone stables, amazing grazing and helpful facilities such as a warm hose down! Being surrounded by beautiful views and beautiful animals (special mention to Wilbur, Sid and Dottie) made our stay, not to mention the most welcoming and kind hosts, Ali and Jeff. What a wonderful choice we made. Our children did not want to leave!
