What they say
“My husband and I stayed for a short break at The Pig at Combe in May 2025. We requested a quiet room and were put in the stable block away from the main house. Our room was an accessible room. It would be a great option for anyone with mobility issues as the room was all on one level with no steps or gradients. However it’s probably best to note that the approach to the room is an uneven cobblestone courtyard. The room had a split en-suite with a large walk-in shower (with optional pull down seat) on one side and a separate loo on the other. Both rooms had sinks. There was no air conditioning but an oscillating fan was provided. The room we were in also had a stable door so we were able to leave the top part open if we wanted a breeze on a hot afternoon. We enjoyed both a dinner and breakfasts in the hotel restaurant. The food was all local and delicious. The staff were all warm, relaxed and polite. The surrounding views were beautiful and we even met some ponies. A lovely calm restorative place to stay.”
“Our family live locally and we have visited the Pig at Combe countless times over the years. It's our favourite place to take guests and we have never once been disappointed. The most fantastic location, gorgeous 'shabby chic' interiors, and outstanding service from the lovely smiling team and especially Will, who has treated our family with unbelievable kindness and hospitality. The vibe is relaxed, friendly and courteous. Log fires in winter and stunning gardens in summer... and all of this is before we have even mentioned the food, which is unfailingly excellent. Almost everything on the menu comes from within 25 miles and much of the veg and fruit is produced in their immaculate gardens. You would think that food of this standard would be super pricey, but the prices are very reasonable. We can't praise this place enough - it is a model of excellence. A fun and chilled way to spend a day or a couple of nights.”
“A stunning property in an idyllic location and that’s just the start. From the GM Chris through the whole staff, there is a professional, welcoming, can-do approach….the perfect balance without being obsequious or over the top! The food at each meal is wonderful and to look forward to and the tour of the kitchen garden is well worth doing with knowledgeable and accessible leadership. Group sommelier, Luke, ran the wine course which was informative, useful and fun with excellent wines to illustrate the key elements and varieties in scope. We shall return as soon as possible and with much enthusiastic anticipation! Thank you to everyone there!”
“What a place to go, to eat and stay. We had a lovely time, from start to finish. The staff were incredible, they just wanted to make it a great experience. The food was fantastic and worth the trip on its own in both the restaurant and the Folly. The room we had was lovely, well stocked and spacious with a lovely view of the hills. We ventured out on the 6mile walk which is well worth doing if able to. Try to take the garden tour if you get the opportunity.”
“We had a lovely time! This hotel richly deserves five stars after this wonderful experience! The staff are friendly and welcoming, the room was warm and clean with a fabulous bathroom! The culinary experience was off the scale with an exceptional breakfast and dinner every day! We highly recommend this amazing hotel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
