“Perfect little piece of heaven and peace just an hour from London”

Reviewed 6 Oct 2018

Jenny and Paul are so friendly and their hospitality is second to none. The Piggery is just so cozy and just perfect for a total rest. Walks in the forest are on the door steps, so many little towns nearby to visit, Winnie the Poo bridge is walking distance. All in all I had a perfect week on my own and feel refreshed. This is all thanks to the Piggery, Janny and Paul. I highly recommend it. I will definitely go back as soon as I feel I need a good rest.
