Hog’s End is a tidy spacious property on farmland. The host, Julie, was on hand for any queries but gave us plenty of space. There are pretty nearby walks and lots of sheep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A lovely family stay at Hog End. The accommodation is exactly as described on the website and pictures. Looks very modern, fresh but homely at the same time. The beds were very comfortable, everyone slept well. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking with a helpful supply of oil, salt, pepper and tea / coffee, the fresh eggs and milk was a lovely treat from the owners. Location was great, felt like getting away from it all with the lovely countryside to be enjoyed from the hot tub. Great days out at Forde Abbey and Lyme Regis, both just a 30 minute drive from the property.
