The Impeccable Pig

Been to the impeccable pig today,went for the festive lunch,3 courses £32. It was excellent,rather large starter,followed by Turkey and all the trimmings,beautiful. Then a fabulous dessert,choc delice for me,cheese board for my husband! The restaurant was gorgeous . We will definitely be back.

As an avid traveller of 5* hotels and often staying at Rockliffe Hall i decided to book the Impeccable Pig for myself and 2 colleagues our business trip in the NE this time. I enjoy a bit of luxury and good food and we were not disappointed. The staff are so friendly and professional - and we were made to feel so welcome, the rooms are beautiful and very well equipped, and the food simply delicious. My filet steak was melt in the mouth, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Honestly I don’t feel the negative reviews are at all justified - you get what you pay for with n life and all aspects are lovely! If you want a cheap fish and chip supper then go to your local chippy, however if you want quality food, excellent service, and good wine then book a room and dinner here and enjoy!

An enjoyable stay - the rooms are beautifully designed, spacious and glitzy, with big beds, big TV’s and big, fabulous copper/tin baths. From the outside, the Pig still looks like a run of the mill pub, which it was prior to the 2018 revamp. There are 12 rooms, situated in the coach house behind the main building, with a small, barrier-entry car park immediately adjacent. It’s a smart and well kept set up apart from some shabby, weather-ravaged outdoor furniture which really lets the look of the place down. On a similar note, the in-room TV remote was ham-fistedly patched together with tape. Small details perhaps, but with nightly room rates ranging from £250 to £500, higher standards are assumed. The restaurant/bar is pleasant enough, a contemporary space, with a particularly attractive mezzanine level for private dining. It was pleasing to see that the business still attracts local drinkers, we got chatting to some characterful Sedgefield residents who'd been regulars when it was the Hope Inn. These guys were full of praise for the current staff, and that was our finding too, all of them really friendly (they inevitably are in the North East in my experience). Efficient and conscientious too. Food wise, we had steaks, which were perfectly good. Wines were very palatable too, but one mighty fail was the disgustingly sickly Passion Fruit Martini, which was clearly either from a can or on tap. Just naff. To sum up - a lovely stay, with full marks to the super friendly staff..... but there is room for improvement given the price point.

I was blown away by this hotel and restaurant. We got a deal including room, break and dinner. Never been anywhere so unique and the staff can’t do enough for you. Kimberley, Shauna and Aaron, the whole team are fab. Thanks for a wonderful stay

Had high expectations considering price of room. £450 a night expected everything to be spot on. Only 2 coat hangers in wardrobe so for a couple 1 each not enough. Went to put clothes on top of wardrobe and dust cloud I created was disgusting. Had hot tub room and went to use it and it had drained dry. Called duty manager who came and said it has a faulty tap. Had to wait 20 mins for it to refill. Had drink in bar for 2 cost £22. Exact same order in pub across green was £14. Beds were very comfy, decor was lovely but doesn’t justify price . Sedgefield is a lovely village and will return just wont stay there. Sorry.

Wow this place was just perfect! I was a bit nervous reading the reviews wonder if we even stayed at the same place! The lady on reception was lovely and friendly and booked us in for dinner and for breakfast, we could have had breakfast in bed but we went for the restaurant. The room was well decorated, massive bed and comfy as! Huge bath tub and shower all perfect. There's a selection of goodies in the mini bar wherr there's a fridge but we brought our own. There's a co-op nearby should you need anything. Outside was a lovely little courtyard with seating which we used as the sun was shining! And of the course the reason why we chose this hotel was the hot tub! It's brand new and is hot as! It was set at 40 degrees and maintained the temperature at all times we were in and we were in it for ages! We actually turned it down to 38 as it was a bit hot. The jets were powerful and did wonders for my shoulders and back. Then we went for dinner and wow, the best steak I've ever had it was delicious, it was a chateaubriand. The waiters were amazing and answered all my questions! Breakfast in the morning was also amazing! I would certainly recommend this place and we'll defo be returning! We got the dinner bed and breakfast rate and for what you get I think this is great value.
