Scalford Hall Hotel

Scalford Hall Hotel is a beautiful Edwardian country house with a lot of history.
It is believed that the game Cluedo was based on the original layout of the hunting lodge.
Built in 1908 by Major Mann Thompson (*a friend of Edward VIII)
Colonel Colman (of Colman's mustard) owned the lodge in 1944 until his death in 1969

Miss B's Tearooms, Melton Mowbray

 
It's my besties birthday coming up so I booked a hotel for us in Melton Mowbray as a treat!
We took off Saturday morning and headed for the market square to have a walk about and visit a tearoom I'd researched on trip adviser.
 
Miss B's doesn't have a straight floor or wall anywhere! It's old, full of character and very friendly.
The views through the windows, from where we sat, look out to the church.
There are quite a few stairs as you enter as the tearoom is on a first floor, so if you struggle with stairs be warned there are no elevators.
 
We chose the 'Quiche Taster' which was a little, individual quiche served with homemade coleslaw and salad trim. It was delicious!!!
 
A little gem in the heart of Melton Mowbray.
