Excellent comfortable accomadation. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

We had a wonderful week at this lovely cottage; it was perfect for my mum with MS and limited mobility using a walker. Facilities are tasteful and not obtrusive and all finished to a high standard. A great rural location with amazing views from the top of the farm but just 10 minutes from Barnstaple and easy to get to all the regional highlights. Wonderful local pub just a mile or so down the road too. Highly recommended, would definitely return.

This property is ideal for anyone with mobility issues. The downstairs bedroom with en-suite wet room is excellent. Lovely and clean. Cream tea on arrival was added bonus

This was our second stay at The Old Piggery and once again we were so grateful to find accommodation that meets the needs of my disabled husband. The cottage offers ample space for his large wheelchair and the essential equipment he requires, which made our stay both comfortable and stress-free. The owners are exceptionally thoughtful and caring. Although they were away on holiday during our visit, they stayed in regular contact to respond to any queries and to ensure everything was going smoothly. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather, which allowed us to enjoy several lovely days out along the coast. The nearby seaside resorts of Westward Ho!, Saunton Sands, Croyde and Woolacombe all offered stunning views. The good weather also meant we could make the most of the garden, which is equipped with comfortable furniture and surrounded by the soothing sights and sounds of the countryside, sheep in the fields and birds in the trees. I wholeheartedly recommend The Old Piggery, especially for anyone with accessibility needs. I’ve struggled to find anything else that compares in terms of both thoughtful design and the welcoming attitude of the owners.

We highly recommend this well kept and well equipped accommodative in a lovely rural setting. The owners are outstanding and nothing is too much trouble. Their willingness to assist a wheelchair user is very much appreciated.

We were very lucky with the weather and thoroughly enough our week. I am in a wheelchair and we had young baby , as well as a dog. So it was a good test of the old piggery and it passed with flying colours.

The place was a wonderful and cosy cottage. It was accessible for my stepdad, the upstairs has two big and comfy bedrooms and a lovely shower. My favourite things were the underfloor heating and the amazing log burner. It has everything you need, is a good location near barnstaple and such a relaxing feel, the views are great . The owners were lovely ,thanks for a wonderful holiday my daughter loved it .

We fell in love with this cottage from watching the beautiful video on YouTube and were not disappointed. We were delighted to find a cottage that had all the accessible features we required for my husband's disabilities. It was our first holiday with the challenges of a wheelchair but we experienced no real difficulties staying in this property. It was warm, comfortable, clean and cosy, tastefully decorated throughout. It was useful having the owners, Sue and Tom, next door, on hand to answer questions and respond to requests. They were always friendly and approachable. We hope to come back in better weather and spend some time in the peaceful garden.
