About this property
Cradled by the soft folds of South Devon’s Hills, The Piggery is a soulful retreat where time seems to pause. Wake to mist rising over the hills and sink into evenings of golden light and gentle stillness. With luxurious comforts, dog-friendly charm, and the coast and moors close by, this enchanting barn invites you to slip away and savour life’s quieter moments.
Cradled within the rolling hills of South Devon’s South Hams, The Piggery is a luxurious countryside hideaway where time slows and tranquillity reigns. Once a working barn, this soulful retreat has been reimagined with soft, contemporary interiors and every comfort considered, offering a sanctuary that feels both indulgent and warmly inviting.
Inside, a light-filled living space welcomes you with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a soothing palette of natural textures. Curl up by the window with a book, prepare a leisurely supper in the beautifully equipped kitchen, or simply savour the stillness that comes with rural living. The bedroom is a cocoon of comfort, dressed in the finest linens, while the elegant shower room, designed with accessibility in mind, ensures ease as well as indulgence.
Step outside onto your private balcony and let the day begin slowly: coffee steaming, wrapped in blankets as the morning mist drifts across the valley. As evening falls, the same spot becomes a front-row seat for sunsets melting into the hills and romantic suppers on the barbecue.
Beyond your door, trails wind through fields and woodland, leading you towards secret beaches, pretty villages, and the wild heather-topped expanse of Dartmoor. Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Mothecombe Beach lie temptingly close for coastal adventures, while long, lazy days at home offer just as much joy.
A dog-friendly haven, The Piggery is perfect for couples (and four-legged friends) seeking romance, peace and the simple luxury of escaping to a place where every detail whispers of rest and renewal.

Mrs Williams
We booked to stay for the weekend to attend our son's wedding just 7 minutes up the road. The Piggery was perfect for what we needed. You couldn't beat the location with the most stunning views across farmland.

It was really clean, the bed was comfy and loved the location/close to the beach. It was quiet (even with a family staying next door) and felt very private. The views were lovely too. We'd be interested in trying one of their other places in future.
