The Piggery Reviews

Honestly what a place! The piggery as well as the surrounding grounds were absolutely stunning. Everything was clearly thought out carefully, and everything you needed was available to you. The hot tub was amazing, and as it's only 2 feet from the front door in your private courtyard, the dash inside was bearable in the minus 6 degrees temperature we enjoyed on our stay. Can't say enough positive things about this accomodation, and you should definitely book it if we haven't already beaten you to it.. Jarred was also very understanding when I set off the smoke alarms within 10 minutes of arriving, by accidentally putting an electric kettle on the hob as if it were a whistle one. Daft I know, but I like to think I'll forever hold the record for the quickest time the alarms been set off after arrival, and on a completely unrelated note I now no longer make my wife cups of tea
Another perfect stay. We cant wait to come back again for a third time!
Jacqui
Cottage was amazing, absolute perfection, everything had been thought of and provided for. Hot tub was very enjoyable! Ideal location for touring around Worcester, Wales and Gloucester. Position ideal for walking the dog, local shopping centre and places to eat. Would definitely return for another stay and would recommend 100
Shirley
We have had the most relaxing break, the Piggery was immaculately clean and maintained with all the equipment to facilitate the most enjoyable stay.
We recently stayed as a group of 4 adults at the piggery, with 2 dogs. The accommodation was perfect, everything had been thought of. It was clean and tidy, and spacious. The decor was lovely, the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The garden area was wellmaintained and a safe environment for the dogs. There was also a more private garden with a hot tub which was lovely in the evenings. The location was ideal, less than a 10 minute drive to Hereford town, and also the river for the dogs to have a cool down. We also found a lovely circular walk around the area, allowing us to admire the countryside. We ate at the beefy boys and had a roast in the bookshop both of which come highly recommended! Theres also a lovely pub across the road, less than a 2 minute walk! We would highly recommend the piggery and will more than likely return for another stay, thank you so much!
We just love it there. Always clean and tidy. It has such a lovely feel for it. Our daughter loves the upstairs room, 'the princess room' going back in easter for the third time. Scooby says thank you for the biscuits
Property is absolutely stunning. Everything you need is there. Spotlessly clean and the outside space is really lovely. The owners attention to detail shows, absolutely loved the mix of old and new in the property. I would highly recommend this property. It is exceptional
Michelle
Lovely accommodation. Fabulous outside space for dogs, nice enclosed patio area as well. Hot tub was a great. Inside there is everything you could want. Would highly recommend.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay at this wonderful property
A beautiful place to stay. We stayed in The Piggery. A lovely cottage and finished to a high standard. We thought the drinks and cakes that were left for us on our arrival was a really nice touch. If there was one thing that I would change, it would be the sofa in the lounge. It is soooo low and difficult to get off. On the whole, a lovely holiday cottage. Jarred was very friendly and helpful regarding the area. We would stay here again.
Wow what a beautiful place! Lovely setting. Great for our dog scooby, nice enclosed area. Hot tub was lovely, very clean. Inside you had everything you could want. Our daughter loved the room upstairs, she felt like a princess ! Looking forward to re booking and exploring more of the area. Thank you x
Fantastic property and a great area to visit
We booked a very last minute break. I was extremely happy with The Piggery. The property was so clean, comfortable, good location and the welcome pack went down a treat. I felt that these properties were loved and were so well looked after. Inside, quality furnishings. The outside area spotless. The hot tub just fab. I could not fault. We are already looking to book another stay. Thank you
Kimberley
The property was amazing, I have been watching these properties being built as I drive along this road everyday so seeing what they were like inside was wonderful . Lovely little touches with cupcakes, milk and orange juice and of course treats for my fur babies. When we arrived the house was lovely and warm and hot tub ready to be used. We have already booked another stay with them which I am already counting down the day
Roxanne
We had a great stay here over the new year, there was lots of places to visit near by and the accommodation was clean and tidy. We loved the arrival gifts especially the treats for the dogs. Would highly recommend and would return. Thank you so much.
5 star accommodation well maintained lovely safe area for dogs. Would recommend to visit.
The property was beautiful, so clean and comfortable and lovely setting. We had an issue connecting to Wifi on arrival but the host resolved this really quickly. Highly recommend this or one of the other properties next door. Sykes check out time 0930 is quite early and there isnt any flexibility on this would be the only negative feedback.
Michael
Loved everything about this place except for the sofa. It was a nice sofa, just too low for us. Our holiday was an unwind holiday so the sofa played quite an important role. Hosts were super helpful and we enjoyed our stay enormously.

A superb accommodation, it was immaculate and super clean. The hot tub was well maintained throughout the week. A very thoughtful welcome pack was provided which was very kind. There were a couple of factors that stopped us giving a 5 for comfort and these are not any fault of the owners but did have an impact on our stay. First was the lack of windows. We were lucky with the weather which meant it was very warm. There are only velux windows to open in both bedrooms and kitchen which was ok until a brief shower occurred and they automatically close and dont reopen automatically. This meant some of our nights were uncomfortably hot
Such a beautifully converted barn, very modern and stylish. The garden grounds were great to take the dogs for their first and last walks of the day, as they were lit up at night, which was also very attractive. The private courtyard with hot tub was a big hit with our daughters. The owners are very friendly and helpful and we arrived to a selection of thoughtful gifts. A memorable stay, wouldnt hesitate to recommend it.
We had a wonderful stay at The Piggery. The cottage was absolutely perfect for the four of us, as well as our two dogs. We had glorious weather which meant we spent the majority of our time in the shared garden space too. The owners were so lovely and so accommodating and if we needed anything they were sure to help usprovide for us. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much.
Lovely location and a great property. Perfect holiday to have with the dogs.
Claire
The property was very clean and modern and all our needs were catered for. Everything you would expect was provided and the little added extras were appreciated . Nothing to complain about. Thank you for enabling us to have a very chilled weekend!
Richard
Brillant property and location, The owner couldn't be more helpful. . loved our stay
Rhiannon
The Piggery is a truly lovely place to stay. Its a very stylish, clean and comfortable conversion in beautiful grounds, which are immaculate. The addition of a hot tub in the private courtyard is a bonus. The owners provide treats and essentials for your arrival and there is a traditional pub literally outside of the property. Its situated within easy distance of Hereford centre, Ross and the Chase Gin Distillery as well as Bodenham Lake, which is a lovely for a meadowlakewood walk. All in all we spent a smashing long weekend at the Piggery and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. An easy 5 stars.
SSH, dont tell anyone. . keep it secret. Wow what can I say about my amazing stay at the piggery. The whole barn has been done to top spec and is absolutely beautiful. The area surrounding is fantastic, there is so much to see & do if you can tear yourself away from this lovely place. I will have no hesitation in booking again.
Lindsey
What a wonderful little find. This place was lovely and we will definitely book again. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming, we could not have been happier.
Rachael
Amazing property! Will definitely be returning. We had the best time and had all our needs met. Lovely owners, very welcoming and the property had a lot of thoughtful added extras.
Michelle
The Piggery at Cross Keys was amazing, in a fantastic location with superb facilities wed go as far to say the pictures and reviews dont do it enough justice. If we had one niggle, it was no freezer department in the fridge for ice but that certainly didnt have any impact on our stay. Lincoln and Ro loved being able to stretch their legs in the communal gardens. As hosts, Jarrod and Steph were fab, as were any other members of staff we passed. 1010 all round!
Beautiful property that myself and my family thoroughly enjoyed.
Lovely stay. The property was great and the people and dogs had a great stay. Thanks for welcome pack too! A lovely surprise.
Patrick
The piggery is a beautiful cottage which had everything you need. The set up the owners have is lovely. I believe they have about 4 different cottages and a communal garden which was landscaped beautifully. There were others staying but didnt see or hear them. The hot tub in the piggery was a really good size and it felt very private. We were really happy with the piggery and would love to stay again. Only a couple of miles from Hereford city centre and only a couple of miles from some lovely dog walks. Highly recommend.
Me my wife and two children just came back from three nights what a beautiful ... Me my wife and two children just came back from three nights what a beautiful place everything was 5star you wont find many places as well looked after than there can't wait to book for next year
Perfect base for exploring the area. Very high standard of accommodation. Cosy and well equipped, log burner and hot tub great. Lovely touches on arrival.
Kirsty
Beautiful, modern, cosy barn conversion. All the mod cons a family could need for a quiet break away, with the bonus being the private hot tub outside. No noise from other guests nearby and the owners could not be more helpful.
Rebecca
We had a lovely stay at the piggery. The place was spotless and very comfortable. Loved the additional touches left for us. Great location too. Highly recommended this place
Absolutely stunningly flawless property! Really enjoyed our stay! Felt safe, warm, beds are comfortable, had everything we needed and more! Loved the welcome gifts left for us on arrival Location is great, only 10 mins drive from Hereford centre. Would only recommend the 0930 check out is slightly later.. was the only improver I can think of xx
We had a fabulous stay at The Piggery. The accommodation was clean and well presented. We enjoyed every minute of it. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back for another stay. Thank you
