The Pickled Parson of Sedgefield

Great accomodation, lovely location on the edge of the square and staff are friendly and helpful. Room was great as was the food

Staff really went out of their way to look after us. They did their best to rectify problem with television, which had been out of order since storm a few days earlier

I booked the Pickled Parson for an overnight stay. The hotel and Sedgefield were both lovely. The staff were excellent, welcoming and explained all we needed to know at check-in, which included completing a breakfast form and time for breakfast. This wasn't needed immediately, but sometime before the end of the evening. The bar area was busy, but had enough tables and chairs, there was also a small seating area outside overlooking the village green and in the shadow of the village church, a great spot for a quick drink. We ate in the bar, but there is also a restaurant which is where breakfast is served. The evening meal was fantastic and I thought a reasonable price. The bedroom with ensuite shower was adequately sized, it included a very comfy bed and pillows, tea and coffee making facilities, a radio, and a couple of bedside tables. The only downside was the tv had a poor reception, however, we didn't go there to watch tv. The room overlooked the village green and we were opposite the church. A really lovely spot. If youre a light sleeper the church clock strikes every 15 minutes, but it didn't affect me, and there are some earplugs supplied in the room, a great idea!! The shower wasn't the biggest, but it was big enough, the shower wasn't the most powerful, maybe just the water pressure in an old building. However, it did the job absolutely fine. Breakfast was fantastic, a real treat. Overall, a lovely place and hopefully a return trip will be planned.
