This cottage was difficult to find initially. The en-suite was minute with shower not easy to use due to the sloping roof line. Otherwise very pleasant indeed. Wonderful views across the valley.

The Pigsty cottage was perfect for our walking weekend. Nick & Phillipa were very welcoming. The cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped. It has a lovely rural location right on the Offa’s Dyke path. There are many options for outdoor pursuits and visitor attractions locally. We had a very enjoyable stay.
