Are the Pyggies wheelchair accessible?
The area of The Drift will be wheelchair accessible, and one of the luxury Pyggies arriving later in 2024 will feature ramp access and interior space suitable for manoeuvring in a wheelchair.
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.

What is included?
The Pyggies are all equipped with air conditioning units that provide both heating and cooling. Each Pyggy is en-suite, and the larger luxury Pyggies feature free-standing baths. They all contain a small kitchen area equipped with a microwave, fridge, kettle, crockery, cutlery, glassware, and tea and coffee making facilities.
For wedding guests, a breakfast of pastries, fruit, cereals, bread, eggs, cheese, and ham is included. For all other bookings, breakfast will be an optional extra and will be outlined during the booking process.
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 new Farm Shop, Trough is open daily 9am - 6pm. Perfect for takeaway treats, hot & cold drinks, fresh baked goods and locally sourced gifts and goodies.
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.
