Pigsty Cottage - Luxurious apartment within orangery

Pigsty Cottage is a spacious apartment within an Orangery, its a lovely private place to stay . Well equipped, with a top quality kingsize bed and mattress, secure parking and electric gates. A Lovely rural location, stunning gardens. Great for visits to Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury and Devizes

The Orangery is set in attractive gardens providing peace and tranquility for your stay. Light, airy and private from the main house it provides a perfect retreat. Comfy sofas and a fully equipped kitchen help make you feel at home! There is under floor heating for those chillier days, a large bathroom with a walk in shower with two lovely bathrobes for use during your stay. In the bathroom you will find emergency essentials - just in case you have forgotten something!

We've put a couple of lovely wicker garden chairs outside your door, which overlook some colourful flower beds and a working vegetable garden. The perfect spot for breakfast on a summers day!

We live in the main house and will always welcome visitors if we are in residence. The Orangery is very private from the main house, so if you want to come and go without having to chat - that's fine with us too!

Other things to note:

The property is not well suited for disabled access.
There is a well behaved friendly dog living in the main house that you may meet at some point.
We have a large garden, and work starts around 8am on a Monday morning to keep it in tip top shape - so we hope this doesn't disturb you!

Dream Vacation in Ideal Location
Pigsty cottage holds a very special place in our hearts. We received such a warm welcome and were blown away by the beauty of the gardens. The cottage was a wonderful retreat for some much-needed rest and relaxation. It is evident that so much thought has gone into the cottage so that guests enjoy their stay. The little touches of having milk, yogurt, and croissants were so helpful. The cottage was extremely clean and well cared for. We had such a wonderful time exploring the surrounding areas and every time we returned to the cottage we were in awe of the new blooms and tiny little growth that occurred during the day. The cottage is in a great location and is close to other local attractions such as Stonehenge, Bath, Avebury, and the West Kennett Long Barrow. The hosts were so helpful in directing us to the local grocery store, pubs, and nearby attractions. We enjoyed sitting in the gardens and listening to the birds singing and bees buzzing. We could just let the world drift away as we sat with nature in its own rhythm. Thank you so much for a memorable stay. We fell in love with Pigsty cottage, and we will definitely be back.

I will treasure my time spent in Pigsty Cottage .. Thank you xx
