The Pig at Combe taking bookings for July opening

The Staff Canteen
The Pig at Combe is already taking bookings for its early July opening. Nestled in the Otter Valley near Honiton, Devon the 27 bedroom hotel has become the fifth property in the Pig collection along with other hotels based in the New Forest, Southampton, Somerset and Studland Bay.

pignearbath-4Just a 15 minute drive to Exeter, the soon-to-be renovated hotel will offer more in terms of produce than its other establishments. With three gardens including a vegetable garden, herb garden and infusion garden, the kitchen will be 'the heart' of the hotel and whatever can't be grown will be sourced within a 25-mile radius like the other Pig Hotels.

Robin Hutson, CEO of Home Grown Hotels said: "We're really over the moon with the building progress at THE PIG-at Combe – outside we are busy planting and seeing new shoots in the kitchen garden, and inside whilst deformalising the space we are renewing every pipe and wire, stripping off layers of varnish, and scouring the country for quirky and unique artifacts.

"Combe sits well within the footprint of our other four locations. Demand has been very high for the existing properties and our guests want more PIG’s in more locations but we will only create them if we find exceptional sites like this – possibly the finest hotel building in this neck of the woods."

Once the property has been converted the hotel will offer 17 spacious bedrooms in the main house with views overlooking Devon and a further 10 situated in the Georgian stable yard. Most rooms will have king size beds, free-standing baths, showers, in-room larder and KitchenAid espresso machine.
