Off the beaten track and such a peaceful bolthole to escape the modern world. The only traffic hazards to encounter are the abundance of local wildlife including grouse, pheasants, ducks, hares and rabbits; which make a welcome change from vehicles! Great access to the moors and there two pubs within a 10 minute drive with lots of pretty villages close by including Hutton Le Hole.
Walk-in spacious shower and huge, comfy bed! Thank you both for your hospitality and the lovely gift of a calendar.
[One minor consideration to look out for as you come down the stairs in The Piggery if you are tall-ish, is to mind your head on the ceiling!]
I just cannot recommend this place highly enough. It was reasonably priced which was some of the attraction. Beautifully decorated. Large bedroom which overlooked lounge. Fantastic bathroom.Seats outside to enjoy the amazing views and listen to the sheep! Rabbits running around, too.
Met by friendly owner. Milk, tea and biscuits left and during the week some fresh eggs. Delicious. Lots to see in the area. I could go on.............!!
Excellent accommodation. Extremely clean. Beautiful location. Friendly owners that were there to help but not intrusive. Will definitely return
Farndale is an escape from the crowds. The cottage is very well appointed and situated to supply a lovely view of the valley. Surrounded by farmland with sheep, lots of rabbits,good variety of birds. A fair distance to shops so work out your shopping and bring supplies for your stay. The coastal villages are only 30 minutes away. Lots to do in this area and this is a good base for exploring.

The Piggery is situated in picturesque Farndale. The lounge, kitchen & bedroom all have lovely views over the valley.
The cottage has an open plan lounge, diner & kitchen, with the bedroom situated on the mezzanine level with an adjoining walk-in shower room and toilet. Everything has been thought of - there is a cooker, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, coffee maker, dishwasher, washing machine, toaster, slow cooker, radio, TV & DVD player - and the whole cottage was immaculately clean. The owners even thoughtfully provide, tea, coffee, milk & biscuits as a welcome.
There is a good wifi. Because of health reasons we needed to have mobile telephone coverage. This was achieved wth the help of the owner who helped us connect our Vodaphone Sure Signal.
This is a very quiet location in the dales 10 mins drive from the local pub and about 20 mins from the local supermarket (open long hours), so planning is needed for meals! However, we successfully cooked most of our meals with the equipment in the cottage.
There is lots to do in the area, from walking, cycling & shooting to visits to NT properties, stately homes, the coast and steam trains. A stay at The Piggery is highly recommended!
