The Pig-at-Combe has announced the launch of its new Stream Wagons in a private meadow, just off the driveway of the hotel from 7 July 2023.
The new wagon accommodation at The Pig-at Combe is clad in reclaimed timber and features an outdoor terrace overlooking the meadow and stream plus a log-burning stove to keep warm during colder months.
It also includes a full bathroom with a double-ended roll-top bathtub. Inspired by the trend of outdoor bathrooms, each wagon comes with its own private outdoor shower and one of the “super wagon” suites features an outdoor bathtub.
The new rooms on wheels were created after being specially commissioned by The Pig from their longtime partner, Plankbridge, a family-run company with headquarters in Dorset.
The Pig-at Combe is a buzzing restaurant with rooms located in the folds of the Otter Valley in Devon.
Guests staying in the wagons can access the main hotel via a 15 minute walk up the driveway to the main house, or make a call to reception for The Pig Land Rover to escort them to the hotel.
The country hotel The Pig-at Combe has a huge bar, lounges all with open fires, sink in sofas and serves hyper-local food in its restaurant and rustic drop-in Folly in the grounds.
The garden and kitchen teams work hand in hand to create the restaurant’s 25 mile menu, which is supported by local farmers and small producers, who supply anything that the team cannot grow or produce themselves.
Robin Hutson, founder of The Pig’s, said: “We decided to design our own bedrooms on wheels. There was an instant meeting of minds about working on the designs with Plankbridge founder, Richard Lee. The more ideas we threw at Richard, the more he relished the challenge. So, when it came to creating our super wagons, with all the bells and whistles we wanted, the challenge was catnip to him and his creative team.
“There is no doubt that the birds singing outside your door and glorious vistas are an instant recipe for a relaxing stay – and the sense of being at one with nature, sitting outside your own little wagon with a sundowner in hand, is the perfect start to an evening here.”
