The Piggery is exceptionally spacious and has lovely open outside space that soaks up the sunshine.
The L-shaped sofa is deep and comfortable and the large windows at the end of this open space include a glimpse of Glastonbury Tor.
The kitchen is bright and cheerful, and equipped with all that you could possibly want for your stay here.
There is the most fabulous open plan living-space with a double-sided wood-burning stove at its heart.

This is the back of The PIggery. There is access via the back door if you wish but otherwise the accommodation is designed to face south.

The iconic Cheddar Gorge in the Mendip Hills. A very easy drive away.

North Somerset has some of the most beautiful scenery. This is the Chew Valley Lake, between Shepton Mallet and Bath.
Bath itself is wonderful for a day trip. This famous Roman City is a very straightforward 40 minute drive from Shepton Mallet. There is a very good Park & Ride service there to get into the town centre if you wish.

I am surprised this cottage was not booked up when we made a fairly short notice booking. It is absolutely as described on the website, and very clean and well equipped. We slept in the end bedroom and the bed was very comfortable with plenty of wardrobe space. Both bathrooms were very good, the kitchen was very well kitted out and the living area was lovely and spacious. Wi-Fi worked well all the time. Sofa was a bit squashy for us but that is personal taste, there was also a very comfy armchair. There are long reaching views from the house as well as farm animals in the surrounding fields. There was a cute calf called Dylan with his Mum, and a few other calves in a separate fields, chickens, a cat, Guinea fowl and the famous peacocks who seemed to spend a lot of time looking in the window :) It is very quiet and peaceful, we slept very well. The host came to make sure everything was OK once we had unpacked but otherwise left us in privacy. The house is set in such a way you do not see the owners house and you are well away from the other holiday cottage. We visited a couple of local pubs and had excellent meals, The Mendip Arms and The Oakhill. There is nowhere within walking distance however. Shepton Mallet was a disappointing town, many closed down shops, but nearby Wells is lovely. We would recommend the cottage. ...

We loved the piggery very much. The cottage has plenty of room and very good kingsize beds. It is easy to make the meals in the fully equiped kitchen and the peacock looking through the windows when you enjoy that meal is just lovely. The views in the fields, the birds, the deer, the cows, we've enjoyed it all. The host was very kind and welcoming. The surroundings have lots of things to do and see, we've visited several locations of the National Trust. If one should have to mention a minor point then it is the three and two seater sofa. They look very luxery, but you're seated too soft in there so you cannot sit there for hours reading a book....

Comfortable, friendly place in a lovely setting. We enjoyed a lovely break.
Mrs Cloke November 2021
Perfect place to stay for our November long weekend with friends - light and airy, great views and so warm and cosy, the underfloor heating is superb and the central log burner a great touch. Our friends wanted to move in permanently! A lovely, comfortable, quality conversion, surrounded by countryside with cows at the bedroom window and peacocks and hens strutting around. Delightful. Fantastic location to explore so many country towns and National Trust properties, with Bristol and Bath only about 45 minutes away. ...
