We had such a nice time at the Old Piggery. The views from the property are spectacular and the building has been tastefully designed to take advantage of its position. The property was well equipped and the bed was comfortable. We used the local bus (No. 9) which currently runs every hour, to take us into Sidmouth. We enjoyed the scones and clotted cream on arrival and certainly hope to return in the future.
