Piglet Cottage is a cosy three-bedroom holiday home nestled in the heart of the Blackdown Hills an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This newly converted mid-terraced barn is furnished to a high standard with everything you need for a memorable holiday. As you enter the property, head into the stylish and bright open plan kitchen, dining and living area. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed to prepare a home cooked meal, the living/dining area is comfortably furnished with a corner sofa and a table and chairs. After a busy day exploring the area, step into the back garden which has a lawn, patio area, outdoor seating, charcoal barbecue, and a six-seater hot tub. This private space is a real suntrap with views across the fields to the woodland beyond and it is a great spot for enjoying your morning coffee whilst planning your adventurous day ahead.
As the evening draws to a close, head upstairs and drift off to sleep within one of the three well-presented bedrooms; the first has a kingsize bed, the second has a double bed and the third with a single bed. The family bathroom is fitted with a shower cubicle, toilet, wash basin and heated towel rail. With such proximity to nature, it is likely that you will hear the nightly chorus of owls and see deer roaming in the fields.
