Scalford Hall Hotel, Melton Mowbray, is delighted to announce, that only 6 months after achieving 3 star status and in its first year of competing, it achieved a Bronze Award in the East Midlands Enjoy England Excellence Awards, category of Large Hotel of the Year 2008.  Sister Hotel Whittlebury Hall won the Gold Award. Now in their 19th year, the awards promote healthy industry competition and high standards, helping to ensure England's place as a world-class destination.

Mark Watts, Hotel Manager was thrilled and stated "This is great news for Scalford Hall Hotel; it's a great achievement and a credit to the team, who have worked extremely hard to achieve the standards that we have been recognised for today."

Recently Scalford Hall Hotel underwent an extensive refurbishment programme, covering its 88 en-suite bedrooms, restaurant, lounge and leisure facilities, which included the launch of a new gymnasium area and games room.  This coupled with the introduction of an events calendar, hosting murder mystery nights, gala balls and tribute nights, makes Scalford Hall Hotel a great choice for a weekend break.
