The Scole Hotel

Lovely character property. On arrival for an afternoon tea, couldn't check in early but offered the tea before time which was good. Afternoon tea was mediocre. Didn't live upto the website picture, but ok. Room was good except for a mattress that dipped so felt like you were sleeping in a slope. Very quiet area and a decent sleep. Breakfast was in the dining room with a good English breakfast variety. Not sure if catered for vegetarian as didn't see any alternative option. No serving spoons were out ready so had to ask and then had to share amongst various foods which probably is against health and safety standards. Could have invested in a coffee machine with options as all tea and coffee were sathets and very 1970's! Not everyone likes Nescafé! Not enough fruit options at breakfast . Just boxed cereal or cooked food. Probably wouldn't stay again but pleasant.

Very pleasant place to stay - visit was for a cycle event so a comfortable relaxing environment was much appreciated. Room was clean and everything worked. Staff friendly and helpful.

The young gentleman on reception and behind the bar went above and beyond.

Excellent building, tastefully modernised. Only criticisms were there was no covered bike rack and the only two real ales were both Greene King. There are excellent local breweries, Ampersand and Grain come to mind plus local real cider so surprised they didn't have these kind of options

We had a good stay there it's our 2nd time of visiting the hotel

Stayed for a week and we absolutely loved it! The hotel has great historical significance and maintains a lot of its OG character and charm. The service was excellent and personal. We also had English breakfast which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Lovely looking property from the outside unfortunately the inside is in need of some TLC. We had booked and paid for two nights but checked out after one night.its a shame with the right experienced staff and some money spent on the place could be fantastic venue.

Hotel built in 1655. So floors uneven, everything a little wonky, massive iron key to room, food not at all good, staff sweet, it’s near my family too I’ve stayed here a few times.

Service was great and very friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Few little issues - TV did not work and our window had been left open which would have been ok except for the fact that the staff had their smoking break outside under the window so our room had a really awful smell of smoke which was so bad that it was still there the next day and did spoil sleeping in the room. Shower needed a curtain as couldn't help soak the floor as one not in place. Room 8.

Our stay was in the coach house, not the main hotel. Conversations, television sounds and snores from adjacent rooms were overly intrusive, and general maintenance poor. The hotel overall was acceptable but I would not be staying in the annexe again!
