The World's Fifty Best Small Hotels: A guidebook published in New York. Includes Scott's. (N.B. There's no way we think we actually qualify as one of the world's fifty best small hotels, but then on the other hand they said it in print so there's no way we're not going to at least mention it to you.)

Charming Small Hotels Guide: "A discreet brass plaque is the only sign that the elegant former merchant's house in the town's small square is a hotel . . . inside, nothing disappoints: the interior is as calm, sophisticated and unobtrusively luxurious as you could wish . . . a pampering treat."

The Rough Guide, Majorca: "One of Majorca's finest hotels,  Scott's. The house was originally owned by an almond grower, and has been immaculately restored, its sweeping stone arches and high ceilings enclosing five suites decorated in elegant, broadly nineteenth-century style. At the back, the old stone outbuildings surround a leafy courtyard and contain more recent rooms, each decorated in crisp modern style."

Mediterranean Travel Review: "One of the most comfortable and elegant small hotels in the Mediterranean."

Gourmet: "Scott's is a gem of a place – a fabulously restored mansion where the emphasis is firmly on comfort. Located in the heart of Majorca's wine country."

Alistair Sawday's Special Places to Stay:  "Your genial, immensely cosmopolitan hosts have created a stylish and intimate small hotel after carefully and imaginatively restoring a grand seigniorial townhouse in the wine capital of Majorca: visit in the knowledge that you'll be very well looked after and blissfully comfortable . . . a night here is an experience to remember."

The Sunday Times – Three Recommended Hotels on Majorca: "A lovely, intimate B&B hotel complete with an idiosyncratic writer/owner who will advise on great places to eat (including his own well-regarded Scott's Bistro)."

And quoted in its entirety, our most cherished review of all, from The Good Hotel Guide:  "Heaven! I've never stayed in any hotel so wholly satisfying. Everywhere is beautiful, with pretty details (candles among the plants and flowers on the patio at night). The oversized beds are a marvel, the goosedown pillows wonderful. Delicious breakfast, served until noon. The owners were charming hosts, appearing and fading like the Cheshire Cat – just enough to let us know they were there, but never intrusively."

Accolades this year for George and Judy Scott's small, elegantly converted 18th-century house. With flowers on the balconies, it stands by the church on the main square of a medieval town in the centre of Majorca's winemaking area. No hotel sign, just a discreet brass plaque.

"It's like staying with trusting friends. You have your own front door key; you help yourself to drinks on an honesty basis." There is a small kitchenette for guests' use, and a non-chlorinated indoor swimming pool that resembles a Roman spa. The bedrooms are all pretty, all different; The Tall Suite has seven-foot beds, as do some other rooms. In fine weather, breakfast is taken on the sun terrace overlooking the patio with its lemon tree and parasols. Scott's owns a romantic, candle-lit bistro a short walk away, and there are two other restaurants in the church square close by. Unusually for Spain, this is an almost smoke-free establishment.
