I booked this property without checking all the details but I think it’s important to prevent others from making the same mistake. It really wasn’t suitable for my husband who has a problem with his balance1. No table or chairs to have a relaxing meal.2. Sofa so low my husband found it extremely difficult to get up from. 3. Velux roof window was really difficult to close - small step was provided but my husband fell over trying to cope. Consequently I climbed up on the kitchen units to complete the task. (Even with the step I wasn’t tall enough to reach).The cooker hob was in the bottom of the kitchen units and quite awkward to get out. Obviously room on work surface was necessary to set up hob.Even abled bodied people could experience difficulties with some of the above.On the positive side. Bedding, crockery, towels were all of a lovely quality. The owner’s John and Tracey were helpful and polite. Milk was left for us in the fridge together with some yummy chocolate biscuits.

Really enjoyed our stay in the Piggery. We were visiting family that lived near. The Piggery is a lot bigger than in the pictures, it was lovely and warm and in a very quite area. Although there wasn't a full cooker, you could cook a meal using the small oven and induction hobs provide. We were greeted by the owner as we arrived who were very friendly. We would certainly stay there again.
