Itâs so accessible to everywhere itâs just a short drive to the main shops and only a short drive to the coast. Kim and Neil were so helpful to us and made us feel so comfortable and welcome. We loved it so much weâve booked again for October I would definitely recommend it for a fabulous holiday

Spacious comfortable stay. Well equipped kitchen and lovely log fire. The Piglets is a quiet village location, yet close by to access all the great surrounding areas to visit.The owner was very helpful with anything we needed, and even provided more logs for us. Only improvement would be access to terrestrial TV instead of using iplayer/Netflix etc. A visit to the local pub The Fox is highly recommended with excellent service and food. We will definitely be back.
