Great location in a tastefully decorated home. If you want to unwind, this property is perfect. We were welcomed with soft lighting, some essentials and absolutely lovely cake. We walked around the entire area with our 2 dogs and only ever took the car out to the supermarket. 5 star experience.

We really loved our stay, the house was perfect for our family. Having an en-suite with each bedroom is ideal, and the living space was cosy and perfect for us all to gather for meals and evenings by the TV (or trying and failing to light the log burner!). Gorgeous rural location, with the Dorset coast within reach and also great Somerset towns likRead moree Glastonbury and Wells. And highly recommend the nearby Mitre Inn for reasonably priced pub fayre and a genuinely warm and dog-friendly welcome. Hide

The Piggeries was amazing accommodation. It is out in the countryside so quite remote. WiFi was hit and miss but owners had Netflix on TV. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

This is a spacious and comfortable property with spectacular views over the countryside. Although it appears isolated Sherborne and its abbey, castle, restaurants and shops are only a 10 minute drive away. We particularly liked the large open plan kitchen/lounge/diner, perfect for socialising with our friends. The owners were friendly and went out Read moreof their way to make sure we had all we needed. The welcome pack with its local oroduce was much appreciated, as were the lovely toiletries. Hide
