The Old Piggery

The Old Piggery is a single storey conversion from an old farm building and is attached to an old Norfolk threshing barn.  It is finished to a high standard, using some reclaimed materials and is furnished and decorated in a simple, fresh rural style. 

Pamment flooring with rugs and no stairs will make it very suitable for children, dogs and those with limited mobility. 

The ground source heat pump for underfloor heating and rainwater collection system may be of interest to those wishing for a more environmentally sensitive holiday.   
See our Green page for more information.

The barn yard is a lovely place to spend an evening over dinner or a barbecue and watch the sun go down and the aerial shows by the swallows and bats and barn owl.  Also a very safe space for dogs.

A welcome tray will be provided.
