    Nothing. All was perfect.

    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 drive into Ashbourne with plenty of shops and eateries. A great base for exploring the Derbyshire Dales.

    An extremely comfortable home away from home amongst stunning views

    • Stayed 4 nights

    The Pigsty is a beautiful home away from home which oozes character and soul. It is warm and cosy and scrupulously clean with stunning views across the countryside. The hosts seem to have anticipated your every need within the property and the shower is to die for, probably the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in too. The location is sterling, convenient for Alton towers, the wonderful and unique village of Ashbourne and gorgeous walks and hikes only a stones throw away. The hosts went above and beyond, and we will definitely be returning again. An utter bargain of a stay, if you find a vacancy, be sure to snatch it up, you wont regret it. Thankyou so so much for our wonderful and welcoming stay.

    There was no way to open the skylights. The bathroom would have benefited from it being open just a crack.

    It would help in hot weather if the Velux windows could be opened to provide some through ventilation, but this was advised against. Usual challenges as to how to operate the hi-tech stove without spending time studying the manual provided.

    Lovely outlook across wild flower meadow. The slightly uninspiring exterior appearance was more than compensated for by the excellent interior ambiance.

    Being really picky - the 24 inch TV with tinny sound wasn't great.

    Great location for exploring the Derbyshire Dales. The property is in a lovely small village. It's very quiet and rural with views of the landscape. The property is nice with attention paid to details and well equipped for a self-catering stay. There is also plenty of information about what one can do in the area (if you haven't done your research). The hosts are friendly and approachable with any questions you may have.
