Me and my two friends stayed in 'the pigsty' for two nights, celebrating my birthday.We had a very relaxing stay. The host Mike was very welcoming and on hand at all times. We would definitley recommend the 'pigsty' if your looking for a break from work stress and to clear your mind from worry.

Had another great stay at the pig sty. Mike and Karen are amazing hosts,friendly and go that extra mile. The cottage is in a lovely location and there's plenty of safe open space for the dog to run around. The sofa is a little on the low side for me do to my bad knees there was everything in the cottage that you would need for your stay and the hot tub is an added bonus. The cottage is close to many historic houses,such as Chatsworth, Hardwick and only a 10 minute drive into the centre of chesterfield. We will definitely be back again next year.
