Pigsfoot Lodge Reviews

Robert
Great facility with attentive but unobtrusive hosts. They were very hospitable and shared valuable information about local conditions.
Shelia
Really enjoyed our stay , we took my 85 year old mother, which really enjoyed the relaxation and peace . The owners was fantastic always there if you needed them . Old duck and chicken we really enjoyed, my partner didn't want to leave them .
Hayley
We loved staying at pigsfoot lodge. Great location for travelling to various walking spots. Loved the hot tub, especially after some long walks. Facilities where great. Lovely soft bedding and towels. We had some lovely welcome give, which was unexpected and was very appreciated. The fresh eggs made a lovely breakfast.
First stay at Pigsfoot what a wonderful tranquil stay it was. Tracey was friendly, welcoming & knowledgeable about the area. Having the hot tub tucked under a roof just outside the front door was brilliant, so can enjoy this feature irrespective of the weather. Lots of little homely extras within the lodge itself. It's situated not far from the M5 & its central position is ideal for exploring all of Devon. Hoping to rebook again later this year. Thanks for a perfect stay
Michael
Another fantastic holiday at Pigsfoot Lodge. Tracey and Adrian make you feel so welcome and the location is just perfect. As soon as you step out of the car you are instantly relaxed. Everything you want is within driving distance but the lodge is perfectly located for peace, quiet and relaxation. Already booked again for next year.
Amanda
We had the most restful holiday at Pigsfoot Lodge. Adrian and Tracey are the perfect hosts. On hand if you need anything but not intrusive. We had gorgeous fresh eggs from the rescue hens in the garden, which we spent many a happy hour watching from the indulgent hot tub. The lodge itself has everything you could possibly need and is very cosy and clean. Centrally located for days out, it has a lovely Farm shop just down the road. Our week at Pigsfoot Lodge went far too quickly but we will return later in the year for a little bit of Heaven. Thank you !
Jennie
We spent a wonderful long weekend at Pigsfoot Lodge. It has everything you need as a home away from home in a tranquil setting. The front porch looks out across the garden with ducks & chickens & hills off to the left. There is a fully enclosed garden, perfect for our dog, and garden furniture for enjoying the weather. We made the most of the hot tub which is also set on the front porch & under cover should the weather change. The owners Tracey & Ade were very welcoming & left fresh milk in the fridge & oat biscuits for our arrival which was a very nice touch. There are things to do & see locally but our trip was really about having a break & a rest. Parking is next to the lodge & is shared with those staying at the cottage but this wasnt an issue. We would definitely return & perhaps for a few more days next time.
Just had 5 nights at pigsfoot lodge with our family and it was cosy and relaxing, loved the hot tub every night. The owners Ade and Tracey were there if we needed anything, thank you Tracey for baking a birthday chocolate cake for us
Our stay was truly magical. The cottage is perfect. We took our two dogs and they had a dog bowl and healthy snacks there ready for them. The accommodation has everything you need including delicious coffee machine coffee. Nothing was too much of an ask, our hosts were always on hand and always ready to help. The beds are comfortable and the cottage was lovely and warm. One of the best things was that the hot tub was undercover and the garden properly enclosed for our dogs and for rainy days. We adored our stay and will definitely be back again soon.
Great little get away, just off a country lane so fairly private, lovely fresh eggs every morning from the chickens in the garden. The hosts have thought of pretty much everything and are very accommodating.

A lovely warm welcome with attentive & very friendly hosts . Excellent communication . Lovely welcome gift and eggs from the chickens ! Beautiful location and so peaceful . Very clean and lovely little gestures ! Will definitely be returning
Andrew
Our first priority is knowing the dogs have a fully enclosed garden thats safe. This garden is brilliant and ticks all the boxes. The lodge is ideal with all the essentials and comfort for a holiday. The location is ideal for those who want privacy and quiet yet within easy reach of the Devon countryside. The hot tub is ideal under shelter adjoined to the lodge. Looked after by the owners each day. The owners are lovely, a nice welcome gift a Victoria sponge cake milk and fresh eggs await. This is excellent value for money.

Nothing was a problem. The lodge was beautiful & had everything you needed. We had a lovely break & would recommend it to anyone. We will certainly be back.
Maggie
Went for our Anniversary and was greeted on arrival with chocolates, wine, roses and a Anniversary Balloon. Absolutely loved the place and Tracy and Adie made us feel very welcome and happy to answer any problems with a phone call Can't wait to go again next year.
A lovely property where the owners made you feel really welcome. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you,
This is an ideal place for a peaceful getaway but close enough to walk into the village. It is perfect if you want to take your dog as it has it's own secure entrance and garden. The owners are very welcoming and helpful and the hot tub is the icing on the cake!
We had an amazing week at Pigsfoot Lodge and would 100 recommend a stay here. Everything catered for in a lovely peaceful setting!
