We offer hutch style accommodation within our fully equipped garage. Our accommodation can be heated during the colder winter days and we have air conditioning for the hot summer days. We can accommodate single piggies all the way to large family groups with our adaptable accommodation. We have a large garden with plenty of grass for the dry days and all our guests will have the chance to graze daily when they stay with us.
We have over 20 years of experience looking after piggies and hold a certificate in small animal first aid and have taken courses in small animal care. We treat all our guests as our own and even grow our own vegetables and herbs in the garden so it can be fresh picked.
We use farm meadow hay from our local feed suppliers which is always very well received by our piggies. We are very conscious of the amount of waste we produce as a business and as such we recently made the decision to start using water proof fleece liners in the front areas of our hutches and pens and still use wood shavings and lots of hay in the sleeping areas. We hope to reduce our waste by at least 50% over the summer and then decide whether to continue on with this option. Please inform us on your booking form if this will be an issue for your piggies and we are happy to change this on an individual basis.
