About this property
Hemyock 2.9 miles. Piglet Corner is a delightful, single-storey bolthole, perched rurally in Culmstock in Devon, just a short distance from the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the famous Culmstock Beacon, one of a chain of Elizabethan beacons used to ward off the advancing Spanish Armada. With glorious views across the surrounding lush countryside, Piglet Corner offers a retreat for couples or solo travellers looking to escape the hustle and bustle, whilst resting a scenic car journey away from the coast. Reach your tranquil position and park up outside, with your new abode resting on a working farm. Step indoors and be met by the kitchen/diner, a compact yet well-equipped space, where you can prepare and enjoy meals together, whilst the rear patio serves as a haven for alfresco dining on warmer evenings. Fully enclosed and private, take advantage of your outdoor space, with rolling hills and lofty peaks in the backdrop, toasting to your getaway with your favourite tipple, ahead of completing your nightly routine in the shower room. Catch up on the latest TV series from the plush sofa, before climbing into the double bed for some rest. On your doorstep you will locate The Culm Valley Inn pub, an idyllic dine-out option, along with The Strand Stores cafe a little further along. Take a wander along the river, or you can explore the beautiful trails. Admire the market town of Wellington and take a tour of Wellington Local History & Museum Society, explore the shops and boutiques, or discover the nearby market town of Taunton and traverse its gorgeous surrounding countryside. For a romantic getaway in the heart of Devon, Piglet Cottage is the perfect choice.
The small, historic village of Hemyock is situated in the beautiful Culm Valley, quietly nestling amidst the stunning Blackdown Hills.

The accommodation was well equipped, modern, with beautiful views. Fresh eggs, milk and a pot of local honey, was a very welcoming surprise! The garden is well fenced, and our dogs loved the chickens, cows and sheep who were living in the anointing fields. Tracy and Adrian made us feel so welcome and gave us lots of advice on where to visit and eat out. The property was located in easy access to many walks and local attractions. We would recommend this property to family and friends!
