The Old Piggery Barton Reviews

Emma S.
This place is just perfect for a relaxing getaway. The cottage is spotless, super comfyand has everything you might need. The owners are really friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay and hope to return soon. Thanks a lot!
James
Absolutely loved staying here! The cottage had everything we could possibly need, making it super easy for us and the kids. They spent hours running around in the huge, secure garden, which was a real bonus. The location's lovely and peaceful, yet close enough to beaches and farms for fun days out. We're already planning to come back next year!
Samira
We really enjoyed our time at the Old Piggery! The garden was perfect for Harley and Daisy - so spacious and secure, they loved running around. Our daughter especially loved the hot tub and the huge room to sleep in. Jayne and Tim were lovely, welcoming us with nice gifts which was a lovely touch. The scenery is stunningand there's lots of wildlife around. We'd definitely love to come back sometime!
Sarah
We've stayed in loads of self-catering places, but the Old Piggery really stood out. Absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a great stay!
Alexandra
We had a fantastic stay at this cosy little cottage! The place was spotless and in such a peaceful spot, perfect for escaping the hustle. Tim and Jayne were lovely hosts, really thoughtful without being overbearing. Their local tips made exploring even better. Our dog loved the secure garden and paddockand the hot tub was just what we needed to unwind. Honestly, we'd definitely recommend The Old Piggery for anyone looking to relax-thanks so much!
Emily
We had an awesome stay! The house was truly lovely, with so many thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The welcome hamper was a nice surprise and helped us settle in quickly. All the little things for Wilf, like toys, bowlsand towels, were much appreciated. The hot tub line was a clever idea, especially since it meant we didn't have to worry about him when it got dark. Jane was fantastic, always giving great recommendations for food and places to visit. Overall, a really enjoyable week, we'd definitely come back!
Emily Rose
What a fantastic stay! The hosts were super friendly, the garden was perfect for our dogsand the hot tub with those views was just lovely. Can't wait to come back again!
Emma
The place was fantastic, really had everything we could ask for and then some. Our dogs absolutely loved waking up and running around the paddock every day - it's so peaceful and secure. The welcome pack was a thoughtful touch, saved us a trip to the shops right away. We didn't get round to trying the hot tub, but definitely plan to come back just for that! Lovely stay overall.
