St Leonard's Hotel by Greene King Inns

8/10 Good
"We always stay at this hotel. It's handy for all the places we want to visit. The rooms are always more than adequate for our requirements. Ideally, we like the disabled accommodation when that is available for my elderly brother. The staff member who greeted us was polite and helpful. Breakfast is now buffet style which suits us better and there is a great variety of foods to suit all tastes. The staff were a little slow to clear used tables on my last visit but there were other tables further away. Some areas of the hotel are a little tired now and that might need attention soon. Despite that, we always enjoy our stay there and we'll be back again soon."
