Myself, husband, 2 kids and pooch stayed for a week in this wonderful home from home. We all had an amazing time and were blown away with the owners Tim & Jayne. They went out of their way to make our stay special, we had a welcome basket and specific items for both kids, which they adored. My husband was playing golf in the paddock, the next day w e woke up to a mini putting green with a flag! There was literally everything possible in the accommodation, and it was spotless. Thank you!
Julie
This is a beautifully furnished and very well equipped cottage, you can really feel the love and thought that has gone into it, so many lovely little touches. Tim and Jayne were the perfect hosts who could not be more accommodating. There was lots to see and do with a highlight being the use of the bikes to explore local areas where Tim also provid ed us with a map. The cottage had so much to do, as a family we loved playing board games and enjoyed the garden games too & of course the hot-tub!
Rachel
We came to The Old Piggery for a week in July and it was absolutely perfect! What a beautiful setting! So much thought had gone into making the dogs stay as enjoyable as our own. If you want peace and quiet, with a get away from it all setting, then this is your place. It is well placed though, for ventures further afield and visits some of the loc al top spots. Jayne and Tim were amazing hosts, warm, friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. We shall definitely return!
Debbie
This was the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in. Everything was also really high quality and owners so helpful and approachable. Amazing outdoor space for the dog, loads of toys and treats too! Fantastic hot tub and loads of information provided about the local area and lovely welcome pack. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend to anyone!

Had a great time, had everything we could possibly need and more. Thanks for a great stay.
Jemma
Beautiful cottage, surrounded by countryside. We travelled for the first time with our 3 month year old daughter. Jayne was amazing and so accommodating with a travel cot and lots of extra bits to make the cottage baby & children friendly. Our dog, a crazy cocker spaniel loved it too. Would highly recommend it.
Rochelle
It was fantastic - 5 stars is not enough to give our stay. Jayne and Tim are amazing hosts - they go above and beyond - We can not wait to return. The location is beautiful - the old piggery was lovely and very relaxing (perfect). The surroundings are beautiful- truly is a wonderful place to stay. I wouldnt think twice about staying here.
Elizabeth
Had a wonderful week at the Old Piggery, the cottage is beautiful and comfortable, with some gorgeous furniture pieces. It has has everything you could possibly need and more. The enclosed area and larger paddock was perfect for our dog, and sitting in the huge hot tub with beautiful views and great garden furniture was a real treat. I really cant recommend this enough, Im already looking at dates to return.
Adele
Beautiful cottage in a great location. The paddock was great for our dogs and we loved the hot tub. Really well equipped and comfortable. We have stayed in lots of cottages across the country and this was by far the best.
John
This is a beautifully appointed cottage with so much attention given to detail. As a couple we had plenty of living space, and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We appreciated the use of a large garden with views over farmland beyond. It felt very private and the hot tub was an added attraction for us. Great expanses of beach were only 20 minutes drive away and there were other splendid options for walks close by.
Victoria
Wonderfully welcoming and well appointed cottage. Fantastic space for dogs to run around in and easy access to many great walking locations, including the beautiful Formby beach. Jayne & Tim were fabulous hosts - nothing was too much trouble.
