A triumph of style and design. Inspiring duo Carl and Peet have transformed an old livestock building into a sleek space with interesting stuff – much made by them – at every turn: carved wooden stools and seating, quirky light shades, an oak and perspex chandelier, striking fabrics and wall hangings. The attention to detail is impressive. 

They live in the main farmhouse (pop in on Thursdays for tea, cake and a peek at their wares), and there are other buildings dotted around but the one-storey Piggery is an oasis of calm.

Take a seat in the private garden after a walk by the Avon and enjoy some home-produced apple juice overlooking the orchard. Whip up supper in the attractive kitchen, throwing open the bi-folds if it’s sunny, or firing up the wood-burner on nippy nights.

Local points of interest from Peet Hahn:

Peet Hahn:

  • Well situated a short walk away from Loddiswell, and right in the centre of the South Hams, The Piggery offers easy access to the stunning coastline with its famous South West Coast Path, beautiful and secluded beaches or magnificent Dartmoor 15mins drive.
  • No need to drive.. walk across the farm down the magical and ancient Silveridge Lane to the peaceful River Avon. You can choose to stay on our side of the river and climb back up to us via the neighbouring Reeds Farm. A real pleasure throughout the year.
  • Across the Avon and to the right eventually takes you to Avon Mill Garden Centre with its cafe and deli. Indulge yourself in one of the best cream teas and try to walk back up the steep climb to the footpath back to The Piggery
  • We are in a perfect spot to drive to any of the wonderful beaches, coves and rugged coastline. Or within 15 mins, the magnificent expanse of Dartmoor is yours to explore. Look to the sky and choose - we can advise on some of the best spots - just ask!
  • Our Orchard is our pride and joy. All of October is taken up with harvesting, crushing, juicing and cider making .. We welcome extra hands however tiny and often end up lunching with the team in the Farmhouse kitchen.. Apple juice, cider and chutneys here.
  • The Farmhouse is open only to Piggery visitors at present with social distancing and at times by arrangement - we are happy to answer questions - you can try on a hat or two..

"Spent five days in this delightful cottage. Very well located for trips to Salcombe Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. All facilities were modern and very clean. Designed beautifully and located in a calm tranquil setting with river walks nearby. Kitchen was superb. The accommodation was a credit to Pete and Hahn who were very friendly and informative. Highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the area in a home from home "

"Our experience at The Piggery was Inspiring&rejuvenating.My wife and I were in need of some time out and decided on a visit to the West country . Margie loves to walk and read and enjoy nature so we decided on a rural retreat. The piggery offered us all we could ask by way of remoteness and tranquility although only a few miles from Kingsbridge. There are exceptional local walks ideal for our needs,including Wild swimming in the River! All rooms are uniquely designed and crafted by owners Carl&Peet who also make apple juice from their own orchards adding to the authentic Ham farm experience."

"The Piggery is superb. The architecture and artworks are unique. They provide detail and interest, while at the same time promoting rest and harmony. Peet and Carl are great hosts who should be proud of what they have achieved. I cannot recommend this place too much. We will be back."

"What a fantastic place and what charming hosts! We couldn't have had a more enjoyable stay. The Piggery is beautifully designed within its setting and has everything you could wish for. Peet and Carl bend over backwards to help and bring an extra dimension to your stay with Carl's fascinating artworks and their amazing life stories. The piggery couldn't be better located, in a gorgeous farm in a lush green valley. By being set back a little from the coast, The Piggery gives you much easier and faster access to all the favoured coastal locations in the South Hams. Thank you Peet and Carl!"

" My husband and I have had a wonderful holiday at The Piggery. The birdsong, the bucolic atmosphere and the fantastic location-- close to the beach and the moor, make this the ideal place for us. The kitchen has everything you need and the bed is a comfy place after a day of activity. The best part is that in good weather you can really enjoy indoor/outdoor living. The owners are a wonderful resource for local sights, restaurants and hikes. There is still so much to see and do. I can't wait to visit again."

"We had the most wonderful stay at The Piggery, it is truly a unique property and we consider ourselves very lucky to have stayed there. Peet gave us a marvellous welcome wand although the photos of The Piggery are lovely, it is even more beautiful when you get there , we were quite blown away by it! The work and love that has gone into creating it really shows and it's rare to get anything near this standard in a rental property. The location if fab, plenty of places to visit if you can leave The Piggery for long enough!"
