Scalford Country House Hotel Restaurant in Melton

We arrived for a special meal after traveling from Leicester with 6 other members of our family to celebrate our wedding anniversary, as we had our wedding reception at Scalford Hall 15 years ago. Upon arrival, there was no one to be found apart from some maintenance staff. They informed us that there was no water so they were closed. There was no communication to inform us of this, and we emailed them multiple times after this to find out what went on, with no response whatsoever. What a horrendous way to treat your customers. Extremely disappointed.

Haven’t been contacting customers to say their rooms are cancelled due to housing illegal alyssum seekers! Money grabbing hotel who don’t care about anyone or anything but £!!! They don’t deserve any custom when they open back up to the public.

Not really a review in that we were booked in early October to attend a relatives wedding. Was really looking forward to our stay, smart hotel! This week we get a call to tell me our booking has been cancelled. When I ask why, I’m told the hotel is closed for the rest of the year as it has been contracted to the Home Office. When I queried this, the inference was that it may be used to accommodate migrants. Never going to consider booking this hotel again. I appreciate in these times the hotel probably needs the revenue, but I think customer service sucks as no alternatives were even suggested.

Very friendly staff. Lovely country house which was ideal for our purposes. Dog friendly room on ground floor with quick access to the garden. Wet room type bathroom very useful for muddy paws.The person in the room next to us was noisy the night before and kept us awake coughing and snoring. The staff kindly changed our room for the second night and it was lovely and quiet. It is a lovely quiet place think we just were unlucky the first night.

The hotel have beautiful scenery, friendly staff, their breakfast is good and the rooms and bed are big enough. The tent for wedding reception is perfect. I love the peace and quiet there.

Having stayed in similar places I wasn't sure what to expect, especially for the very reasonable price I paid, but I was not disappointed at all. The front of house welcome was both warm and very safety focused, the staff were all amazing, special mention to Mick the night manager who went out of his way to buy Melton Mowbray Pork pies for me when I mentioned that I wanted to take some back for the kids but wouldn't have time, absolutely above and beyond the call of duty.I was upgraded to the bridal suite which was nothing short of amazing, the refurbishment in all areas was well designed and never lost that feeling of being in a grand stately home. The bathroom and bath were huge and even had it's own TV.The breakfast was superb, locally sourced sausages and bacon to die for.All in all I could not recommend it highly enough, it's outstanding in every way and I cannot wait to return, thanks Amanda and team.

Sadly a bit dated and like a rabbit Warren through doors up and down stairs. Only a handful of patrons so first visit fully expecting a possible upgrade which didnt happen. Bar was totally under stocked with no draught beer only bottles. Breakfast was ok but just ok.

3.08.19Spent £100 on a double room .Overall feel of hotel - tired warn..unfinished ...hallways needs a hoover ..unusual smell in the corridors.Room - less desirable than a travel lodge , room dull and uninspired. Old mismatched furniture. Room not cleaned properly. Hair on bathroom floor. Shower mat old and tired . We did not feel comfortable having a shower....so we didn't shower the morning we left.Breakfast ....mushrooms rubbery ..sausages looked undercooked . 5 out of 10.Staff -very friendly.Would not recommend..well maybe at 35 pp night this place would be completely acceptable.Edit.21.08.19 In response to your reply Amanda ...we were in room 212 ...27th of July.

A beautiful place in a beautiful location but in dire need of some money being spent on the drive. 4WD owners need not worry though!Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good during our visit for a family meal and the restaurant was empty. The food was excellent though but a 'small' serving was not. If you want small portions you have to ask for a child's sized meal.We will be going back there though in April for my Sister-in-Law's birthday but forewarned is forearmed re portion sizes!

Under new management and ownership. A lot of effort gone in to reopen this lovely Manor House. Fantastic service by all staff with a warm friendly smile. Had a lovely stay here. The bedroom was very comfy and the gardens were beautiful.The breakfast was out of this world. The sausages were very tasty and filling.Will definitely return when next in area. 👍🏽
