We had the most amazing time at the pigsty. It is the most beautiful cottage with every little detail thought of, a real home from home and super dog friendly. It has stunning walks right from the doorstep with lots of lovely days out only a short drive away. Karen and Mike were amazing hosts, we most definately will be returning.
