    Great stay at the Pigsty! Very well equipped and fantastic views. We can highly recommend. The bed was very comfortable and despite some cooler temperatures, the cottage was very warm with central heating and a log burner. It's about a ten minute...

    The Pigsty was very roomy and had all the facilities one would expect. Our host was at the property and very kindly showed us around and advised us of some of the local sights. The Pigsty is certainly rural but close to local towns.

The Pigsty is across the field from our own house so that we are usually available for help or advice. Surrounded by countryside it is ideal for peace and quiet. There are many walks from the property or further afield in the Peak District.
