Lovely cottage.

Cream tea, milk and fresh posey of flowers were a nice touch. Centrally located for attractions, beaches and SW Coastal path. Bed was lovely and comfortable. There is no dressing table in main bedroom so no where to sit/stand comfortably to dry or use straightners. Bedroom is large enough for a dressing table/mirror so would suggest putting this in. There was a slight odour in the main bedroom. Please replace sofas! Look great but not comfortable to sit on, I think they've had their day now. Overall it was a lovely holiday but could've been 5 stars with just a few tweaks! Yes I would consider staying here again. Thank you

We had a very relaxing week at the Old Piggery; the comfortable property had everything we needed and loved the great shower and the small detail such as a good teapot and butter dish, which you don’t often find.

Sally is fantastic and made sure everything is ready for our arrival. Plenty of walks, shop and pubs nearby.
