The Details

Tucked away in the picture-perfect village of Barnsley, THE PIG-in the Cotswolds is a 17th-century Grade II-listed treasure, steeped in character and country charm. This beautifully restored retreat blends elegant heritage with THE PIG’s signature relaxed luxury, offering one of the most charming stays in the Cotswolds.

Inside the honey-hued manor and its surrounding buildings, you’ll find some of the most spacious bedrooms in the PIG collection. Rooms are spread across the main house with views of the original Rosemary Verey-designed Arts and Crafts gardens, the expansive Stableyard and tucked-away garden spots for those seeking a little extra peace and privacy.

Expect roll-top baths, reclaimed textures and larders stuffed with tasty treats and tipples. Many rooms boast original period features, private terraces and glorious countryside views – all wrapped up in that unmistakable PIG warmth. Soft floral features, indulgent fabrics and rustic charm ensure that you and your loved one can enjoy a stay that is opulent whilst still offering the comfort and charms of home.

During your stay you can also enjoy a superb meal at the Kitchen Garden. The gardening team works side-by-side with the chefs to grow, harvest and craft a seasonal 25-mile menu, championing simple British garden produce. What can’t be grown on-site is sourced from a tight-knit network of local Cotswolds suppliers – from freshly baked loaves at Lynwood & Co, to award-winning meats from Jesse Smith butchers, fish from New Wave and handmade preserves by A Pot of What. Be sure to book a table one evening during your stay.

You can also pop across the road to The Village Pub, which adds to the charm. This is a proper Cotswolds bolthole for a cosy pint – while the Fieldhouse, tucked in the garden, offers a tranquil space for treatments and a dose of wellbeing. Take a full hour to unwind at the Fieldhouse, with access to the sauna, steam room, outdoor heated hydrotherapy pool and tranquil garden terrace. Fancy a little extra indulgence? Treat yourself to a treatment while you’re there.

Step beyond the house and you’re surrounded by quintessential Cotswold countryside. The market town of Cirencester is just four miles away, with cobbled-street neighbours like Burford, Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water all within easy reach. For a dash of culture, Cheltenham’s renowned literature, jazz and racing festivals are just a short drive away.
