Lying within the county of Leicestershire, along the rivers Eye and Wreake, Melton Mowbray is a city of historical value and culture but is perhaps best-known for many of the local, traditional foods. Set in beautiful countryside with the Vale of Belvoir close at hand, the area offers a wealth of different activities to enjoy and for visitors coming to the area, one day will not be sufficient to sample all the region has to offer. For those staying in the area and looking for a Melton Mowbray hotel, there is a wide variety to select from, many specialising in offering a taste of local hospitality.

With so many places to stay in the area any Melton Mowbray hotel has to offer more than simply a bed for the night. An increasing number of venues in the area now offer a selection of optional experiences or taster sessions, giving visitors the opportunity to try their hand at local activities. One of the activities available to experience is bee-keeping with 2 hour taster slots available throughout the year. With the area renowned for its cuisine, visitors are offered the chance to see how honey is made, open a hive and at the end of a day, take home a jar of honey from the hive.

For couples hoping to enjoy a romantic break or even a honeymoon, many hotels in Melton Mowbray provide the perfect setting. With many of the quieter venues standing within tranquil grounds, with water features running freely, guests are free to wander around the gardens unrestricted and enjoy the landscaped scenery. On coming inside, not only are many of the hotel rooms set within original listed buildings still retaining original features such as coppices and ceilings, but also decorated with additional romantic additions such as four-poster beds. With views from the rooms stretching out over the valley, the area is popular for couples looking for a secluded break without travelling to a remote location.

While staying in a Melton Mowbray hotel, it is unlikely that guests will run out of things to see with 28 ancient monuments, more than 700 buildings noted as having special architectural or historic interest, 16 sites of special scientific interest and approximately 12 abandoned village sites. Of course, what Melton Mowbray is renowned for is its cuisine, given the unofficial title of 'Rural Capital of Food'. With items such as the pork pie and stilton cheese coming from the area. The pork pie particularly is synonymous with the town with the European Union having awarded it Protected Geographical Status meaning only pork pies made within a designated zone can be branded as Melton Mowbray.

With such a rich historical and culinary past, themed holidays to the area are available, especially for short breaks. Both modern and country house hotels offer 'foodie breaks' which give guests an opportunity to learn some new cooking skills, as well as sample different foods and also spend some time with one of the country's top Michelin-starred chefs. For holiday-makers just wanting a taster, experience days are also available including a chance to make your own Melton Mowbray pork pie.

With the area being so popular and centrally situated, there are many hotels to select from, with a range to suit those travelling on a budget to guests looking to splurge on a luxurious getaway.

Making the most of the beautiful surrounding scenery, there are many country house hotels equipped with a whole host of facilities. As well as providing a range of spa treatments to unwind, some venues offer the guests the opportunity to use their own private golf course, or simply extensive landscaped gardens to lose a few hours wandering round.

The hotel restaurants vary between casual and formal settings, with fine dining using local produce very much evident. Room service is available for guests wanting to unwind or just enjoy some privacy with the menus offering a good selection of the food from the restaurants' own menu.

The hotel rooms have en-suite facilities with single, double and family rooms available together with suites.
