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 reclaimed materials and is furnished and decorated in a simple, fresh rural style. 

Reclaimed 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 an environmentally sensitive holiday.

In the photo of the main living area above Lola is kindly modelling the dog friendly attributes of the Piggery and you might just be able to make out Morris' head peeping over the sofa arm.  Both Lola and Morris come on holiday here regularly with Penel Malby who very kindly took the photo for the website.  She is a professional photographer specialising in animals, children and weddings.
