The Pigsty cottage was perfect for our walking weekend. Nick & Phillipa were very welcoming. The cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped. It has a lovely rural location right on the Offa’s Dyke path. There are many options for outdoor pursuits and visitor attractions locally. We had a very enjoyable stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Pigsty Cottage. It was cosy and warm and perfect for the two of us and the dogs. There were lovely local walks to enjoy and the kitchen was well equipped for us to come home and cook something to warm us up. We spent the evening cosied up on the sofa in front of Netflix whilst the dogs soaked up the warmth from the underfloor heating. The dogs could be let out in the garden before we went up to bed. The bedroom and bathroom were bijou but just fine for the two of us. Our advice would be to slow down, take your time and have a hot bath.
