Lovely property, with a nice outside space, in a quiet location but very close to Southwell and also handy for Newark and Sherwood Forest.

We booked a three night stay at the Piggery at short notice, relying on the excellent reviews online. We’re very glad we did. The property is relatively new, very clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The location is very peaceful with lovely views across the fields to Southwell. It’s an excellent place to stay.
