The Piggery

The Piggery is a little gem.

Close enough to civilisation for restaurants and shops, but remote enough to ignore the world if you want. The accommodation is a little old fashioned, but absolutely suits the property. Everything you need is provided, hair dryer, kitchen scissors, dishwasher tablets. The owners have thoughtfully provided everything you need for a home away from home. The garden is beautiful, and was a pleasure to look at all the stunning flowers. The old ornamental farm machinery dotted around was also fascinating. We loved seeing the pheasants and rabbits running across the meadow, and watching the birds. The view was wonderful (appreciate the hedge between the neighbours being cut to allow for appreciate of it. I absolutely loved the cottage and wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

Thank you for a lovely stay and for the flowers and cake.

The location was very quiet and the cottage was clean and comfortable. I am sure the garden would be lovely in summer, but in February it was too cold and wet for us to sit out. The house on the other hand was nice and warm.

We had a lovely extended weekend at The Piggery.

Arriving at the cottage at the end of a long drive was a very pleasant surprise. The cottage is in a field surrounded by those typical hedges with autumn colours everywhere. The view over the area, though in this time of the years often shrouded by mist, is great. Kitchen, rooms & overall equipment are very good and the receipt by Jim & Sue was really hospitable. Enough to do in the surrounding area and the pub that was advised by Jim & Sue, The Rising Sun, offers a good meal for a very decent price. We definitely consider going there again! Regards, Victor & Bianca

Very pleasant plus amazing views.

A lovely week away!

This place has a real special feel to it! The cottage had everything you might need and views to die for from the comfort of your garden chair. Peaceful, quiet except the birds and the horses in the fields nearby.

We had a tremendously restful week at this lovely property ,which had sweeping views of the river Severn and is surrounded by the Forset of Dean .

Plenty to see and do locally and the cottage was all we had hoped for .

Beautiful, comfy cottage with everything you could need, lovely welcome cake, flowers and milk which was just what we needed after our journey.

Owners are friendly and close by should you need them, but far enough to have privacy, spent many relaxing hours in the pretty garden.

We had a really lovely stay.

Thank you so much for having us. It really is a very special place.

Spent half term week there.

Was a lovely relaxing week in a peaceful setting. The Piggery has everything you need for an enjoyable, relaxing stay. The owners greeted us and were extremely pleasant. They could be contacted if necessary however we had no need to contact them throughout our stay. I will definitely be returning in the future and would highly recommend

Strange muddy driveway lined with odd sticks making it narrow

Lovely cottage and surroundings.

Owners we're very helpful when we arrived and made sure we had no problems.Wonderful location and surroundings.Recommended to all who want a relaxing stay.

We arrived slightly early (30 mins) but the place was all ready for us.

Beautiful setting and views of the Severn river. Beds were very comfy, all in all a lovely peaceful holiday. Thoroughly enjoyed by us all thank you

We were completely charmed by The Piggery.

The cottage provided rustic comfort and the grounds are lovely, with the views over the tidal Severn adding an extra dimension. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and we appreciated the milk and cake greeting us on arrival.. i don't think we have ever spent a holiday in such a peaceful and private setting. My only minor issue was that the ensuite in the twin room is bijou and presented a challenge to mynsevere mobility problems, but it was good physiotherapy! If we are fit enough to be able to go on holiday next year, we will definitely return.

This is my second stay at piggery and just as delightful .

Situated nicely between Chepstow and Lydney great access to the Forest of Dean . So peaceful only birds to listen to and rabbits in the garden. Facilities first class for relaxing break

Lovely cottage with great amenities.

Sue and Jim were there to greet us and show us around. A lovely cake was also there to welcome us when we put the kettle on after a long drive with two pensioners ! Overall a lovely place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone.

The situation is tranquil and beautiful.

Lovely welcome and help when needed (re recycling!) Comfy bed and cosy lounge. Just perfect for an Autumn stay. Some nice eating places nearby and lots of interesting visiting attractions within easy reach. We loved our stay.

An amazing location and a super cottage.

Stayed 19th August 23 at the pigery had a wonderful stay.

the pigery was well equipped and clean.enough space for our party of 5 and in a beautiful setting the owners showed us around and left a cake and milk for us and told us if we needed anything they were there but not intrusive. and to top the week off we had some good weather.would definitely recommend the pigery .

A very quiet, comfortable & well-equipped cottage.

Thank you

A lovely and quiet cottage.

Large, well equipped kitchen and adequately sized living area for five people. The views are amazing, the reception warm and with two bathrooms you can't go wrong really. Only slight point of criticism is that the bed in the single bedroom is rock hard. Otherwise, the Piggery is a perfect getaway cottage.

Left it in visitors book.

We had a lovely week at the piggery it was very clean, well equipped sue and Jim where perfect host's.

It is a fantastic place to unwind and relax no wifi was a blessing.we plan to return.

We had an excellent stay at the Piggery.

Lots of room, and very comfortable. Thank you

A lovely comfortable cottage that I'd be quite happy to move into.

Great surrounds, nice and peaceful. A great location for local and further afield adventures.

Jim and Sue were lovely, they met us and showed us to the cottage.

So pretty and amazing garden and grounds, shame the weather didn't allow us to make the most of them. Cottage was comfy, cosy and spacious. We didn't have Wi-Fi but knew this before we came. The area was so peaceful yet great for visiting both England and Wales. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Piggery.

A very comfortable cottage in a great location, it had everything we needed for a family break. The outside space is exceptional and the owners were helpful and friendly. Wi-fi would have been helpful for visit research but that is a small issue. Overall, good value and definitely worth a visit.

We loved our stay here.

We felt welcome by yourselves and the neighbours! The house was lovely and spotlessly clean! We can't wait to come back next year!

we had a lovely stay, in a very lovely setting and the owners couldn't have been more helpful.

thankyou both very much.

Jim & Sue made us feel very welcome and the cakes and eggs was a nice touch .

The cottage was perfect for visiting the Wye Valley and the towns and villages plus the Forest of Dean etc. Lovely

The Piggery is a truly delightful cottage which has kept the ambience of the cottage style life yet with the comfort of modern day living.

The setting is beautiful and the scenery amazing. So peaceful and 'green'. Lots of places to visit with stunning settings. Hard to keep your eyes on the road! Sue and Jim the owners were very friendly and helpful and we had everything we needed. Our only little niggle was the TV. It could do with being a bit bigger for us oldies !! Saying that we spent most of the evenings sat outside watching the wildlife. An amazing week away. Thank you Sue and Jim.

Beautiful and well equipped property in a beautiful location.

Would stay again

Jim and sue were brilliant, as soon as we arrived they were both really welcoming.

The piggery is just stunning.. the views really are beautiful. It’s all we ever wanted from our holiday, quiet, extremely large garden which our two children enjoyed everyday, day and night it was really clean and there was lots of facilities inside the house. Thank you Jim and Sue! We have created memories for life here at the piggery.

Many thanks for a wonderful stay at the Piggery, which is an absolute gem of a place.

We loved the house and the location, which were perfect both for our 4-year-old and for us. The fact that the property is set in 360 degrees of beautiful garden, complete with baby rabbits and fabulous views down to the Severn, would have been enough. Throw in comfy beds and sofas, a well-appointed kitchen, plentiful hot water and natural light, and the welcoming and cosy feel of the house, and it was all just perfect (and we were extremely lucky with the weather, too). We will be back!

The Piggery was such a delightful place to stay in and the owners were so sweet and thoughtful!

The location is beautiful and there is so many picturesque scenery around it , we only stayed for 3 nights and feel we haven’t seen it all . My little one is already asking to come again in the summer , which I am sure we will do .

Lovely cottage, great views and lots of outside space

The Piggery was a lovely well equipped homely cottage in a lovely quiet spot.

Would recommend this lovely cottage to everyone.

A lovely summer stay, so welcoming and peaceful.

Hoping to return for our fourth visit very soon.

Their were wasps nests outside the property main doors, and bedroom doors, we could not open the windows when it was hot .

The TV was so small we had to pull it forward to we could see it. The pillows and beds were very uncomfortable and it is not suitable for anyone who is disabled. The shower needs updating , when using the shower the water went everywhere .

We had a simply marvellous time walking through the Forest of Dean countryside.

The Piggery was an oasis of calm and tranquillity. We will go back.

The Piggery was a delightful place to spend a week - great to have so much outdoor space and a lovely view from both the house and patio.

Our 3-year old loved it. Sue and Jim are perfect hosts, very friendly and helpful. We don’t usually go back to the same place, but this time we think we might!

A really lovely place to spend time away from it all.

The owners are very nice and friendly. The setting of the accommodation is delightful with amazing views. A great place to use as a base for exploring the area. The cottage was well equipped and extremely clean. Nobody in our family really missed not having internet access. We would love to go again.

The cottage was excellent and the owners were friendly and helpful

We received a very warm welcome to this wonderful cottage.

The location was peaceful and a great place to relax. There are lots of places to visit nearby. We highly recommend this cottage, its the sort of place you would want to come back to.

Great please to be if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing stay!

Very large garden with a nice view over the area.

The Piggery is in a really beautiful spot.

The photos don't do it justice. We enjoyed watching the birds, rabbits and squirrels. It is also conveniently located to travel to a number of destinations. We visited Swansea, Cardiff, Bristol and Worcestershire. There are good pubs near by. We had good meals and service with a smile at the George Inn and The Rising Sun. Tesco was about 4 miles away. We could have done with slightly more cutlery and mugs.

The ideal starting point for exploring the Cotswolds and SE Wales The hosts were brilliant.

The cottage had superb grounds with lots of birds, little rabbits and fantastic views, the owners were really lovely and the cottage was the perfect peaceful get-a-away , restful and totally beautiful A*****

A beautiful well equipped cottage in a peaceful and picturesque location with friendly owners who are only too happy to help make your stay a great one.

Highly recommended

Impossible to improve aside from the weather.

This is the perfect holiday cottage for a young family and/or attending grandparents.

We had an enjoyable holiday and the owners could not have been better.

The cottage was set in a beautiful location, exactly as described on the website.

The couple greeted us on arrival and the cottage had lamps on throughout the property, and a log fire effect fire warming the room. They took us through the property and showed us what was available to use. Very friendly couple.

We liked the location, the property was lovely, clean & tidy and we were left to our own devices, but knew if we had needed to discuss any concerns, the owners were very willing to assist.

There was nothing that we disliked about the property.

Comfortable, welcoming cottage, lots of space for our 4yr old to run around, beautiful surroundings, peaceful, well-equipped cottage

From personal welcome from owners Sue & Jim, thoughtfulness of furnishings and equipment all was of the very best you could expect.

Great People the accomodation was really good value for money.

The location, how the cottage was equipped ,layout and comfort

Absolutely outstanding in all aspects.

The cottage is a really lovely space, good sized, light rooms, all the things you need in side and loads of land surrounding it outside. And with long views towards the river Severn, it makes for a beautiful place to spend time. \ \ The owners, Jim and Sue couldn't have been more welcoming too and they were brilliant with the Kids. Jim offering up a barn full of games, bikes, water guns and even a little table football - kids loved it. \
