I recently booked an overnight stay for myself and my boyfriend and decided to stay at The Pigs in Edgefield. Their spa rooms caught my eye and I HAD to book one. Complete with an outdoor bath/TV, sauna and fire-pit I thought this would be a trip to remember.
I booked us the dinner, bed and breakfast deal which included £25 meal allowance per person which was more than enough to cover the cost of our food for the evening.
When I booked our stay, I asked for a birthday cake and then a week later I couldn’t remember if I’d ordered one or not so I emailed them to confirm and they got back to me very promptly which I thought was really good customer service.
We arrived around 3pm ready for check in and were taken straight to our room. We were shown around and also told where the firewood was for the firepits. There were also complimentary marshmallows to burn if we wanted!
The room was huge. The bed was 2 single beds pushed together, it was massive and really comfy. The TV was large, and everything was clean. My favourite part of the room was the outdoor sauna and bath. The sauna was the first thing we tried out and it was a luxury! They even provide sauna oils so we tried some of that out too.

We went for dinner about 7pm. For starters, or 'iffits' as they are called at The Pigs we had a selection of scotch egg (amazing), fritters and potted pork. All enjoyable, the scotch egg was my favourite. For main course I had the plate pie off the specials menu which was chicken and leek. It was delicious and piping hot and came with mash and gravy. My boyfriend had the steak. We didn't need dessert as we still had the cake in the room!
The next morning I woke up early to try out the bath and was greeted by a centipede! Eeek! I guess that's the price you have to pay for the outdoor amenities!

Breakfast the next day was lovely. We could help ourselves to the breakfast table which had juices and cereals, then choose from the menu. I had a sausage and onion sandwich and my boyfriend chose kippers with poached egg which he really enjoyed.
Overall I really enjoyed my stay at The Pigs and would love to go back. It was a shame we didn't get to use the firepit so that's something I would like to do if I went again, perhaps in the summer.
Our stay at The Pigs ended with us watching the eclipse too, which was really fascinating.
