Stay FAQs - Pyggies

Please make your booking through our online booking platform. If you need to book any special add-ons, please email stay@silchesterfarm.co.uk

They all contain a small kitchen area equipped with a microwave, fridge, kettle, crockery, cutlery, and glassware. Our Pyggies have tea & coffee faciltiies which includes a filter coffee machine with milk frother.

Are the Pyggies Dog Friendly?
We have one dog friendly Luxury Pyggy - Rosemary.
One dog can stay at any one time with a fee of £25 per stay. Dogs must be on a lead at all times when outside the property and under no circumstances left in the property unattended.
Is Silchester Farm accessible for disabled visitors?
We have made every effort to ensure disabled visitors can enjoy as much of the estate as possible. However please note we are a farm, with open spaces and pathways made up of different terrain. We do strongly recommend that disabled visitors are accompanied by a companion to assist them. Please note that routes around the farm have gravel paths requiring extra care. We have ramps in all of our main areas and located around the gardens.
What time is check in and check out?
Check into your Pyggy from 4pm at our Reception, unless you book for an early 2pm check in.
Check out is at 10am.
Some of the Pyggies look out over The Cow Shed. Are they still private?
All the Pyggies will be fitted with double curtains, allowing you to draw a lightweight set to ensure privacy while still letting in light during the daytime. Each Pyggy will also be surrounded by lots of lovely planting to create screening from the public areas.
How many people can they sleep?
Each Pyggy contains a king-size bed and sleeps 2 people. Some Pyggies will have space for an additional infant in a travel cot, but this should be discussed with a member of the Silchester Farm team before your stay, and will only be allowed if confirmed in writing by Silchester Farm.
Do you have a Farm Shop?
Yes. In addition to the 9 Sleeping Pyggies, our Farm Shop, Trough is located on The Drift just across the lawn from The Farmhouse. Perfect for takeaway treats, hot & cold drinks, fresh baked goods and locally sourced gifts and goodies. Please check here for opening times
Where have the names come from?
A 'drift' is the collective noun for a group of pigs. Since the entire area will be designed with the Hygge concept in mind (Hygge meaning 'a quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being') and all structures being pig arcs, we merged the two concepts, and out popped 'Pyggy.
How do we access the leisure facilities?
