Meet Your Hosts

Hi! Myself (Steph) and my partner Dean have recently taken on the Pig and Whistle Pub and Holly Cottage as a new business venture for our family; and we could not be more excited to welcome you. Once you are all settled in, pop on in for a drink or a bite to eat and say hello. You might find me working behind a laptop in the pub with cups of tea on tap or trying to keep our little boy Arlo entertained whilst Dean natters away and generally looks after our customers. If you need anything at all during your stay, you can pop into the pub where ourselves or our staff will be happy to help you.
