Robin Pyggy

Robin Pyggy is a single bedroom, one bathroom retreat sleeping two people in the form of a hand-built pig arc – the kind of structure that immediately signals this is not a conventional cottage. Located near Silchester in Basingstoke and Deane, it sits on a site shared with eight other similar properties, each with their own parking space and access to a swimming pool.

The arc contains everything needed for a short break: bed linen, towels, wifi and electricity included in the rate. Inside, the space has been finished to create proper living quarters rather than a novelty stay, with heating and the essentials for cooking. One car can park on site. The surrounding countryside is open for walking and cycling, while Tadley and Reading are within reach for more substantial outings.

No smoking inside. Check-in is after 16:00 and checkout before 10:00.
