Snaptrip says
The Park Inn Piggery is a quaint cottage praised for its warm and friendly atmosphere, with a convenient location for exploring Devon's countryside. Guests appreciate the easy check-in process and the proximity to a lovely pub. While the accommodation is cosy, suitable for short stays, and the staff are helpful, some guests noted limited parking and storage space, and the proximity to the pub can mean noise is an issue.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the property clean and tidy, with one mention of dog hairs on the bedding. The positive remarks on cleanliness suggest a high standard, with only a minor issue reported.
The location is generally appreciated for its quietness and access to local amenities. However, the proximity to a pub and associated noise has been a concern for some guests, affecting the score.
The property is described as warm and the bathroom well-appointed, but the lack of indoor seating and cramped living space have been noted, suggesting comfort could be improved.
Facilities are mixed, with some guests satisfied and others finding the catering facilities inadequate. The lack of a designated parking space and concerns about safety with electrical items near water are noted. No clear consensus allows for a definitive score.
While the reviews reflect a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, a score cannot be given in this category.

After a day of exploring and building up an appetite, make the most of the compact yet well-appointed kitchenette, featuring a combi microwave/oven, fridge, kettle and toaster. Wash away the day in the shower room, before climbing into the super-king-size and browsing the Smart TV. In the mornings, prepare a fresh coffee and sit in the enclosed front garden, pondering the days events. With a beer garden literally next door, you won’t have to travel far to enjoy a well-earned pint – your pooch is welcome too!

Bed large and bedding and towels clean. Owners very friendly and helpful. Friendly pub atmosphere, with locals who bring their own dogs. Pleasant covered outside seating with heater. . Only downside is that there is no seating area inside unit to eat food so you have to eat it sitting on the bed..but there is a small outside sitting area if the weather permits. Overall enjoyed our stay. Approximately about 2 miles outside Newton Abbot

We used it as a base for our geocaching jaunt. Everything was clean. Hosts were welcoming as were the patrons of the pub. Parking was not an issue. No table so take a couple of lap trays if intending to eat in. Would definitely return.
