The Piggery

About this property

An irresistible blend of traditional character and contemporary comfort, this high-quality bijou getaway has been designed with great flair and attention to detail and is the perfect spot for a solo adventure or romantic couple’s escape. Set on the edge of the National Trust’s Lanhydrock estate, it’s surrounded by gorgeous scenery, from majestic oaks to a gently winding river, and is ideal for anyone who loves spending time immersed in nature and, of course, for dog walks galore. The magnificent Lanydrock House is around 1 mile away, while the historic town of Lostwithiel is just 3.5 miles distant, where you’ll find a choice of places to eat and a host of intriguing independent shops. For a day at the beach, Polkerris is 11.5 miles away, and offers a water sports centre and a pub, while the smart maritime town of Fowey, another centre for great food and shops, is only 11 miles.

Follow the uneven external stone steps up from the road and then take the steps down and cross the patio to find the front door. Once inside this appealing former agricultural building, the mix of exposed stone and brick, natural textures and a simple, co-ordinated colour scheme makes for a fresh, calm, and tranquil feel. Your living space is open-plan, with a compact kitchen at one end of the room. Dine at the breakfast bar with two high stools, and then head to the large sofa and snuggle up next to the wood burner. For entertainment, there’s a Smart TV to catch up on a favourite programme. Leading off the lounge, the king-size bedroom is a cosy space, limited at each side of the bed but with the most beautiful bed linen and a small hanging rail and drawers for storage. Through a curtained doorway you’ll find a sleek and elegant shower room.

When fresh air and sunshine beckon, step outside to your private, enclosed patio, which is furnished with seating for lounging with a good book or a cup of coffee (or something stronger). If you’ve been for a muddy walk you can rinse boots or paws with the dog shower. You’ll have allocated parking for one car outside the property.
