The Pigs - Melton Constable

J

We stayed in the sty in the sky as a break before we got married.
The room was stunning- it had everything we needed and it was very clean. The hot tub was a great temperature.
Ordering food and drinks to the room was super easy- and made the stay even better.
Food was really tasty and well presented, the cheese board and breakfast were my favourites.
We had a massage which was so so relaxing, so if you can get an appointment take it.
All the staff were super friendly and helpful, nothing seemed like too much trouble.
We are definitely going to be returning

We stayed in the Wallow. Absolutely first class - a real treat. We booked it such a long time ago but it was all we wanted and more. Loved every minute. We checked in just after 2pm because they allow this for that room, so we had a full afternoon. Sun was shining, sat outside the front of the pub and had several drinks!!!! Then we went and enjoyed all the room facilities. Staff are so kind, helpful and accommodating. Best gift ever. Expensive, but worth it!!!!

The rooms were lovely and kitted out with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The bath and sauna are a lovely addition and really make the room feel luxurious. The pantry table outside was perfect for marshmallows on the fire or milk for coffees. All the staff were lovely and very helpful! Unfortunately we felt a little let down by the food, we were looking forward to the roast but were pretty disappointed with it. The meat was dry, the potatoes tasted boiled and not roasted and it was served almost cold. We felt the sides tasted like they’d been sat for a while. However the breakfast the next day was better, we would definitely come back for the rooms but unfortunately not for the food!

We went for a meal on my husband's birthday, and the staff were so attentive. When they heard it was his birthday, they kindly arranged a little pudding with a candle for him as well, which was a really kind gesture.

And the food!!! Absolutely delicious. My husband and I are often disappointed when we eat out, but the food here was just amazing. A good range of options, and the Iffits were brilliant!

Our children thoroughly enjoyed their food as well, and the play area outside.

We will definitely be back!

We visited today after approx 2 years since our last visit. The outside and inside of the property looks lovely. Once seated we looked at the menu, only to be highly disappointed. The only real options were something in a bun, fish and chips or a roast. We opted for the roast. The roast potatoes were either made a day previously and re heated, or were from a packet. Neither of us finished our meals. At no point did the staff come to our table to ask if everything was ok. The visit previously was very different. The food was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Im guessing that they're trying to save on costs but still charge the same. I for one will not be coming back. Very disappointing visit.

What an amazing and unique experience. The whole setup is centred around you and the staff could not be more welcoming.|We stayed one night in a Spa suite room. The Sauna and steam room were to die for and I think I lost my wife to the luxurious deep bath. The bed was so comfortable and the ambience of the room was perfect. |The food was superb, especially the jam roly poly. I will definitely be back for that. |On the evening we sat under the stars on our own private patio. The wood fire crackling away and smores in abundance. My wife also sends her thanks to Mimi for a wonderful, caring massage. |To everyone at The Pigs a huge thank you. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting something special and slightly different. ||

Wow wow wow! We had a lovely 1 night stay here in April in the spa suite. It is simply the perfect getaway for parents wanting to relax! We booked a couples treatment at the spa which was really really good, I have never seen my husband so happy 😆 I thought that it was a really good touch that you can sample all of the products used during your treatment -nice touch. We also had dinner here and had it served to our room which was the ultimate treat so that we didn’t have to get dressed and could stay in our dressing gowns. The food was absolutely delicious and would recommend the piggy bits as a sharing starter however it is very filling so treat it as a main! We also enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant, the choice available is spot on. Finally, all the staff were so welcoming and accommodating - nothing was too much trouble! We have been telling everyone about this place and will be returning as soon as we can 😊

I had a day of annual leave, so after hearing many people at work talking about this place we decided to give it a go! When we entered we had about a 5 minute wait to get seated (we had booked) but a staff member did greet us and told us someone would be with us soon so we didn't feel like we were being ignored. We decided to travel for 40 minutes to visit here for breakfast as we really wanted to try the bbq breakfast which came with 2 different types of bacon, bbq pulled pork and bbq beans. However, unfortunately they did not have any bbq pulled pork available which was quite disappointing as that was the main thing on the breakfast we wanted to have and was the thing that set them apart from other places! But these things happen and they offered us an extra sausage or more bacon as an alternative. I ordered mine without the black pudding and swapped the bbq beans for normal baked beans too. It arrived perfectly presented. The maple streaky bacon (which you only get on the bbq one) was the best part. Portion wise it was fair, but for £17.50 I personally think could have been a bit bigger (i.e could have come with 2 hash browns, and perhaps some fried bread, and 2 sausages as standard even if they had the bbq pulled pork) It all tasted lovely, but could have been a bit hotter. I am glad I did not have the bbq beans as I expected them to be very similar to kfc beans (baked beans but mixed with a bba sauce rather than tomato) but actually they were a mix of kidney beans and other beans and bits of carrot and were very dry (my partner had them) not saucey at all, so this is something to bear in mind. The atmosphere was really nice, it felt really cosy and holiday-ish sitting in the conservatory bit. Me and my partner both didn't like the English breakfast tea personally, we both thought it was a bit funny tasting and because it was served around 20-25 minute ahead of the breakfast it unfortunately had gone cold by the time the breakfast came. All in all it was a good experience and I would visit again, but I feel a few improvements could make this place more memorable.
