Amazing stay! The place was perfect - modern finish but with a cosy feel to it. The beds are super comfy and we were made to feel right at home in front of the fire, with treats left for us on arrival. The location is great, easy to get to all of Exmoor and with some great walks right on your doorstep. We will definitely be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
The Piggery is less than 1.5 miles above the lovely small market town of Dulverton and with easy access to the open moorland and wooded valleys of Exmoor – perfect for four-legged friends – this location really is the best of both worlds.

Dulverton is an idyllic small town, full of friendly independent shops, and affectionately known as the Southern Gateway to Exmoor. You can discover the bridge over the River Barle and there's a variety of shops including Co-Op, delicatessen, butchers, bakers, greengrocers, numerous tea rooms, Isis Beauty Salon, plus a selection of fabulous independent shops such as Rothwell & Dunworth rare bookshop, three hairdressers, and delicious food and amazing service at Woods Bar and Restaurant and the Bridge Inn. Don’t miss a peek into beautiful All Saints Church, especially with its incredible carpet of snowdrops in early spring.
