Pigwig Cottage

This was a lovely place to stay.

Spotlessly clean with everything one would ever need for day to day living. The setting is excellent, peaceful and tucked away. Nice touch being greeted with a cake, drinks and bread. The charging sockets for some LED handheld lights proved useful, being a place that is close to pitch black through the night. The whole property and it's grounds are a relaxing place to stay. Be prepared to have some inquisitive chickens hunt you down when outside. Location was good for getting to some tourist attractions, Abraham heights being the most obvious one. Chatsworth house isn't too far away either. There's some decent pubs and restaurants relatively close by as well. We would recommend The Bear, less than 10 minutes drive away. So good, we went twice. Any downsides? No deal breakers for sure, only be prepared for the bedroom to be quite warm as the hot water tank is in a cupboard in there. Opening the roof light and windows reduced that well enough. Probably the main issue for me is the access road. My car is one of the few that's not a crossover/SUV, so the under tray was getting some pummeling when using it. If I had been forced to reverse, it would have been game over for that try. Scalping that centre section of the road would be a good move. Overall, this is an excellent place to stay, we highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

It was very well equipped and we very much enjoyed the welcome pack. The gardens and surroundings were lovely and it was very peaceful however the hens were delightful and were eager for scraps. We loved watching their antics. As you approach the lane make sure you don’t miss it as it is tucked away follow the instructions sent by the hosts. A great week exploring the surrounding area.

A beautiful cottage, very clean and well equipped.

Lovely quiet location for a peaceful and relaxing retreat. Unfortunately it wasn’t very clear from the description that the bathroom was on the ground floor which was a problem especially if you have to visit two or three times during the night. It was a bit of struggle walking downstairs in the middle of the night. Maybe it could be made clearer in the description as the steps has been mentioned on the ground floor. Apart from this everything was perfect.

The property was excellent, spotlessly clean and a superb welcome pack.

The short track through the wooded area was a bit bumpy and was easily missed on first location of the property. The friendliness of the chickens was really enjoyed by us both.

Pigwig Cottage was a little slice of heaven.

A beautiful property set in perfectly kept gardens. Views over the hills and woods. So Peaceful and private. The property has been very tastefully renovated. We particularly loved the kitchen, the wood burner at night and slow morning coffee admiring the gardens and the free range chickens. Can’t wait for my next escape to Pigwig Cottage!

The property was very well presented, the grounds were immaculate, inside the property was very clean with overall appearance being like it had just been refurbished.

Helpful notes both in the welcome folder and next to relevant appliances. Welcome pack was lovely and helped increase the overall feel good factor.. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage 10 out of 10.

Our stay at Piggly Cottage from the 27th to the 29th of March was truly outstanding, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect getaway.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care and attention had gone into every aspect of the cottage. It was absolutely spotless, with an exceptional level of cleanliness that immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease. The cottage itself is beautifully presented, full of charm and warmth, and incredibly welcoming. Every room felt thoughtfully put together, creating a cosy yet elegant atmosphere that made it easy to relax from the very beginning. It’s clear that nothing has been overlooked, right down to the smallest details. Even having a well-stocked first aid kit upstairs gave us that extra sense of reassurance that everything you might need during your stay has already been considered. We were especially touched by the generous and thoughtful extras provided, including fresh eggs, milk, and bread on arrival. These little touches made such a difference and added to the feeling of being genuinely welcomed rather than just accommodated. The surrounding area is simply breathtaking. The views are exquisite, and the peacefulness of the location is something truly special. It was wonderfully quiet throughout our stay, allowing us to completely switch off and enjoy the beauty of the countryside. Waking up each morning to such calm and scenic surroundings was a real highlight. Overall, Piggly Cottage exceeded all of our expectations. It offers the perfect balance of comfort, beauty, and tranquility, with a level of care and detail that is rarely found. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable escape, and we will definitely be returning again in the future.
