Swallow Hotels - accommodation in Stockton-on-Tees

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.

Great hotel with really friendly staff. The room was fresh, modern and well equipped. Everything was easy, from check in, paying for parking, buffet breakfast to check out. All good. Absolutely no issues. Enjoyed our stay.

Came to stay for an early morning interview. Was on train and delayed so was worried I might not make it. The owners were great and reassured me. Clean tidy too. Lovely comfy bed and quiet.
