Disliked: Cleanliness
Needs a major upgrade. Poor heating due hardly being on and with insufficient window insulation. In fact sash windows can’t close so top of one window was stuffed with tissue. Had to improvise with a towel as the gap in middle needed blocking! General plumbing needs replacing as the smell wasn’t good and outside in the general area had air fresheners all over. Stairs and general decor is in poor condition. Big mistake not reading previous reviews 😡

Decent upcoming hotel!

Loved the room but it was very windy so maybe could've done with double glazing!

The general area around the hotel was old and a bit untidy. St Leonard's itself is not a great location for travellers. Our room was large and OK but the hotel was a bit rundown. Breakfast was only available on the week-end.

Very nice hotel and pub, but was let down by one female member of staff who was very rude and therefore let the establishment down somewhat. But overall a nice place to stay.
