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 in many cases 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 and 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.   

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.

A welcome tray will be provided
