A Nordic & Welsh influenced timber studio inside the stone walls of an old pigsty.

The Pig Let

The Space

Our self-contained timber framed studio is a modern take on a Welsh Croglofft and is built within the stone walls of an old pigsty.

The Pig Let was once a derelict pigsty and cart house. It now features a double height lounge area with a sofa, armchair, workbench / breakfast bar, TV (with freesat) and a small selection of books. An ensuite shower room sits under the loft platform. Narrow steps take you up to the double bed in the 'sleeping loft' (Croglofft).

We supply tea and coffee, towels, organic soap and shower gel by Faith in Nature. We ask that guests use our products as we have a private drainage system that filters in to our wildflower meadow.

A mini fridge and tea/coffee making facilities are provided in the lounge area too so its easy to make a simple cereal based/continental style breakfast (BYO). There are plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants close by in Aberaeron and New Quay.

Outside is your own enclosed verandah seating area with table and two chairs. There is also an outdoor sink with hot and cold running water and a worktop for preparing food or serving up takeaways if you want to (there are no cooking facilities but we provide cutlery and crockery).

This compact space is shaped by the thick 150 year old stone walls but the studio interior has been cleverly designed by an architect to maximise living space, much like a ‘Tiny House’ project, so the staircase is steeper than normal and ceiling heights are restricted to 1.9m (6ft 2") under the platform and at the highest part of the loft.

The inside walls of this studio are thick with insulation and clad with birch-plywood giving the space a warm and calming Nordic feel. The timber frame and the exterior is clad in a mix of Larch and Douglas fir all grown and milled within 9 miles of the studio.

Guest Access.

The Pig Let is a private, self-contained building with its own entrance accessed from a former farm yard shared with our other spaces.

Things To Note.

The staircase is slightly steeper than normal and ceiling heights are restricted to 1.9m (6ft 2") under the platform and at the highest part of the loft.

The studio is built onto the end of the farmhouse buildings so you may hear occasional sounds of family life.

The Pig Let is not always advertised as open so if you have specific dates do get in touch.

What People Are Saying

A really cute ‘tiny house’ style cabin

“It was so warm and cosy inside. Perfect for a long weekend. The camp-style outside kitchen was fun, even in October. We loved staying at The Pig Let”

It’s the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in!

“Sian & Dave’s place is amazing. Stylish, clean and peaceful. It’s the best airbnb we’ve ever stayed in (and we’ve stayed in a few all over the world!)!! The attention to detail is just amazing. Also very close and easy to get into Aberaeron via a bus or taxi. We will definitely be back!”
