The details
Head into the rural heart of the South West to The Old Piggery at Kerswell Farm, located just two-and-a-half miles from the stunning North Devon coastline. This listed 17th Century farm is no longer in operation but has instead become a peaceful haven that focuses on conservation.
The Old Piggery was built in 1889 but has now been renovated to become an environmentally friendly and beautiful getaway for couples or small groups of friends. After coming up the private driveway guests can enjoy the living area with its comfy sofas, wood burner, TV and DVD collection. The well-equipped kitchen has a small selection of essentials to get started with some cooking, as well as a Nespresso coffee machine. You're also greeted with a lovely welcome of a farmhouse cream tea, wine, snacks, milk, eggs, butter, tea, coffee and homemade bread.
There are 2 sumptuous bedrooms for grown-ups (sorry no children at Kerswell Farm) - 1 double with king-size bed and one twin room - as well as a bathroom with a large walk-in shower. There is also WiFi throughout for those of you who want to check your emails. For those wanting to dine alfresco in the summer sunshine, there's comfy garden furniture and a barbecue out in the garden, meaning there are opportunities to relax whatever the weather. The lakes also offer utter peace to unwind.
The owners live nearby but will respect the privacy of guests, and are on hand for help, advice and to do any essential washing of clothes at the farmhouse.
Guests are free to roam around the 20 acres of the farm and explore the grasslands, meadows, woodland and the four lakes, complete with wonderful wildlife and rare species of flowers.
For those who want to venture a little further there is so much on offer within a 20-mile radius. Head to the coast and visit the fishing hamlet of Bucks Mills with its cottages and rocky beach, the red cliffs of Peppercombe, or the sandy beach, cafes and restaurants at Instow. The 180-mile Tarka cycling trail is close by, and there are 4 bikes available for use at The Old Piggery – please provide your own safety equipment. Whether seeing the wildlife at Northam Burrows and Tamar Lakes or trekking across Exmoor, there is so much to do.

The Old Piggery is a fantastic rural bolt hole and surpassed our expectations - in a fabulous location and so comfortable and well equipped, with lots of extra goodies and thoughtful attention to detail. Elaine and Adrian are very welcoming hosts and on hand for any advice but also very respectful of privacy. There is so much to see and do in the area, we came for the coastal walking and it did not disappoint. We will return!

Such a lovely, peaceful place to be! The Old Piggery is a fabulous home-from-home, extremely comfortable, totally relaxing, immaculately clean and well equipped. There's plenty of parking and turning space plus fantastic grounds surrounding the farm that are a pleasure to explore. All of this topped off with Elaine's hospitality and attention to detail that just makes being here that much more amazing. The delicious home made fresh produce waiting for us; bread, eggs, milk, jam, butter, cream and scones, the red wine (probably not home made?!), fresh flowers, the 'Kerswell' stamped soaps and the personal 'Welcome' card, so very thoughtful and just add that something special to the stay. The cherry on top ..... two charming sheep in the orchard, who love a bit of attention, and a visit from Ralph, the loveliest dog you could hope to meet. Very glad we found The Old Piggery!
