The Old Piggery, Kerswell Farm

What a wonderful place to spend a holiday. The Old Piggery is a high spec and tastefully decorated cottage, the hosts are welcoming, thoughtful and considerate and the setting is amazing. It was a delight watching the huge variety of birds on the feeder and exploring the extensive grounds: ponds, woodland and restored meadows. In addition there are lots of interesting places to visit nearby. We are looking forward to a return visit. Highly recommended.

What a peaceful week! We stayed in the Old Piggery at Kerswell farm in North Devon in July. This beautifully converted farm building provided for our every need and comfort, as did our delightful hosts. The conservation land around us was lush and green. The lakes, with water lilies, dragonflies and the occasional splash of fish were idyllic. While the meadows, full of wildflowers, including orchids, showed us nature at its best. The birdsong was a joy, as we watched the birds coming and going. The lazy, hazy days of summer at the piggery passed all too quickly, but we will be back!

Only five days and absolutely not long enough. There is so much to do in the area from coastal walks to crabbing in nearby Appledore and on top of that you don't really want to leave the comfort of The Old Piggery. Beautiful and peaceful surrounds and fabulous accommodation. Incredibly well laid out, immaculate, amazing bedding, a delicious cream tea on arrival, and everything you could want outside as well as in. Friendly hosts where nothing was too much trouble. Can't wait to go back!

We had a utterly superb time staying for a week at The Old Piggery. The cottage was superbly equipped with everything and more you could wish for, the beds were incredibly comfortable and Elaine and Adrian fabulous hosts. We enjoyed relaxing walks around the grounds, while the information pack was full of information with spot on recommendations. We used it as our tour guide, taking us to fabulous beaches, villages and walks. As strongly recommended we requested Elaine cook a dinner for us and we could see why this is so strongly advised - a truly sensational dinner. Utterly superb.
