The perfect base for an active holiday or romantic break for couples!
The Piggery is situated in the grounds of a Grade 2 listed, sixteenth century farm, close to the borders of Wales. This stunning barn conversion is set in five acres of picturesque paddocks, overlooking the Welsh hills and Shropshire Union Canal.
The Piggery is a '5 Star' luxury, self catering cottage for couples, who enjoy the countryside with opportunities to walk, fish, cycle and play golf from the doorstep! Those who enjoy touring National Trust properties and gardens will be spoilt for choice!
The high-ceilinged, beamed living room is spacious, light and homely with a large wood burning stove and ample seating. The floors are covered with thick oak floor boards and these extend through into the bedroom giving the whole property a warm and welcoming feel. The Piggery is centrally heated.
A flat screen TV/DVD player is provided just in case you would prefer an evening in and meals can be enjoyed around a huge dining table for ten!
The Piggery has its own garden with seasonal produce; those staying can feel free to pick and cook a variety of vegetables.
Two bicycles are available to hire for those who wish to do so.
The delightful bedroom is light and airy, furnished with a super-king double bed, which can be made into two single beds if required.There is even a digital radio.
The bedroon leads into a luxury bathroom with a beautiful roll-top bath . Just the thing for a pampering long soak.Bed linen is provided but not towels.
The modern kitchen is fully equipped with electric hob, fan assisted oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and washing machine.
