We were visiting Melton Mowbray for a large family reunion and know the town well as I grew up there. However, this was our first visit to the Sysonby Knoll Hotel and we decided to stay for three nights. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Our room was spacious, comfortable and very clean, with a good sized bathroom. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with a continental buffet and also hot food cooked to order. We ate dinner on one evening and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The bar was cosy and welcoming. The gardens were delightful to sit in and relax with a drink. The private car park was secured each evening. We look forward to returning.
We stayed here as we were visiting the Food Festival. We had stayed before and the landlord remembered us. There is good WiFi. Very. Friendly staff allowed us to early check in and put stuff in their fridge. We had a good laugh with the landlord and waitress at breakfast. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order with cereals and toast if wanted. We were in room 207 which is up two flights of stairs and as the hotel has no lift is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. We wanted dinner on the Sunday night but they close at 5pm however we were offered plates and cutlery if we wanted to order in a takeaway which we did. The Chinese (I think it was called Mama’s) two doors away is to be recommended.
