From the hallway, a few steps lead into the kitchen which is fully fitted with a dishwasher, washing machine, fan assisted oven, ceramic hob and microwave. It is roomy enough for a window seat and a chair to sit and chat while someone else does the cooking! A few more steps lead to the lower-level bedrooms, one twin bedroom and one double, which has a king-size bed. Adjacent to the bedrooms is a shower room comprising a walk-in shower, toilet and hand basin.
One the first floor there is the third bedroom (king-size double bed) and bathroom comprising a bath, with hand-held shower attachment, toilet and hand basin. The view from the upstairs bedroom is truly jaw-dropping – over fields, woodland and across the Exe Valley.
Bed linen and towels are provided, but please bring your own beach towels and dog towels (if appropriate).

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!
