Bed was extremely small and very uncomfortable. Black mould around base of shower. Smoke alarm removed. Filthy toilet brush. Booked breakfast, but no breakfast available.

Comfortable room and staff helpful. Unfortunately Room 7 shower door leaks. Not a problem for having a shower, but I think the owner might want to repair it.
Other than that a very nice hotel.

Do not stay here, shocking!!

Mould covered the bathroom walls, old out dated mixed furniture, four poster bed no curtain. The curtain rail missing in most places, which needed a good paint job. mattress kept coming off bed.
No Pressure in shower. Tv put on wall lopsided, no one on reception, and when you finally caught up with host she was rude!! Asked us to leave room a day early she'd double booked room!! Dreadful

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs! Staff entered my room at 4am waking my child and wife and didn't even say anything until I woke and confronted them. Very creepy and weird behaviour and no refund was offered. They blamed me saying I should have locked the door if I didn't want a strange lady entering my room at 4am for reasons that have not been established.

The bathroom had an extractor fan that was broken, black mould around the shower tray, the shower tray is unsafe, being very slippery when wet. The bathroom mirror was fitted withe incandescent lighting which gives off heat.

Entrance to the bedroom was through French double glazed doors, the stay holding the door was disconnected. A strong gust of wind could cause injury to someone. The room had cobwebs and the curtains were dirty. The TV was not properly installed, resulting in loss of programs. The bedroom furniture was well used with a staple for some reason half inserted. The bed mattress was flimsy and unsupportive. The doors opened onto a poorly maintained patio area, which was also a smoking area. The result was the during the current heatwave we could not open doors as there were smokers satisfying their addiction. This is despite stickers all over the property stating that there is no smoking on these premises. Premises includes garden and patio by definition.

Entrance to the room was through the main building, which included the occupants area. Where their washing was on clothes airier.

The so called garden view was obscured by a bush. The grounds need attention and the preparation of a bonfire in the middle of rear garden is hardly appealing.

The dining room had a chandelier with a lot of the bulbs missing. A continental breakfast with cornflakes? The crockery was mismatched.

The side entrance is unsecured, anyone can just walk in. Photos are availabl

Elegant property - room needs TLC

Staff were friendly and the property itself exudes vintage elegance. Unfortunately our room (Room 5 on ground floor) smelt extremely strongly of damp, so we didn't unpack any belongings. Despite opening windows and airing the room, there remained a very strong smell. There is obviously a long-term damp problem with this room which the owners should really get fixed.

Very reasonable priced ac

I only needed it for one night business. The host was friendly and the price was very reasonable considering it had its own ensuite. It's a little out if the centre but only 15mins walk from St Leonard train station.

Two Victorian villas made into one hotel. A lot of original features and nicely decorated in a similar style to how it may have looked in the era.
Met two of the reception staff and they were very pleasant and efficient.
A lovely room in all all respects too.
I’d definitely book again if I was to come back to the area.

Sunny St Leonard’s staycation

Very good, efficient bed and breakfast. Quiet ish location and nice to stay in a house with character too. Not sure the bar was fully functional as it only had a bottle of Malibu on the optics but a nice stay 🙂

Dissalointing

Only parking available is on a busy street outside of hotel we're cars fly up and down. I stopped in room 10 up 2 flights of stairs in a tiny attic room. Room was shabby and outdated. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. It must have been the cheapest mattress they could find as I could feel every single spring in my back. Definitely needs an update. Only saving grace was a a smart TV. Nobody on reception in the morning to give a vat receipt so rang them and they couldn't even send the right one to which I emailed them and they have just ignored me. Will never stop here again if it was free!!

Great guest house

Great guest house and within reaching distance of everything that you are likely to need. Busses on main road down to the sea and plenty within easy reach for food and drinks

Great place to eat is the Thai - The Holxley right on the opposite corner of the main road and a minutes walk. Need to book on weekends. Bree is the manager who will be pleased to look after you. genuine Thai chef too.

I stayed in the four poster room at the front of the hotel which was OK - but the bed needs tightening up as it creaks with every move.

Breakfast was great.

Ok..

The room was very nicely decorated, very pink with a 4 poster bed. Unfortunately the curtains didnt close properly. The bathroom was clean, although could do with some updating. When we made a cup of tea in the room in the morning we discovered the milk cartons were out of date. The cooked breakfast was lovely, although do not think we should be helping ourselves to cereal, milk and orange juice at this present time.

Inconvenient Guests.

Arrived approx 20:30. We were not privileged to any kind of 'welcome' e'good evening'. Staff said it was 'Saturday night and she was relaxing' from that point it felt like we were an inconvenience to her. She tutted and muttered under her breath. I was compelled to ask why she was being rude ... she repeated the Saturday night relaxing statement.
We were booked in a very small garden room, at least it was really clean, but located outside the main house.
Staff were not happy that we requested breakfast at 6:00 am again it appeared to be a great inconvenience. We were given a key for the main door to get out own limited breakfast. I would neither stay there again or recommend it to anyone.

Had a good uneventful over night stay

Fairly straightforward but good visit. I was staying overnight in the area and thought the experience was good. Clean, tidy and quiet. I didn't get to try breakfast as I left fairly early. I would stay there again if I'm in the area.

Character hotel in St. Leonards

Our Tower House 1066 room had lots of style as did the rest of the hotel. However it was in need of some TLC re the decorations and in particular the stair carpet. Breakfast was excellent and staff helpful.
The central heating timing needs to be sorted out. Came on around 5 pm and was still on at 3 am in the morning but was off at 7.00 am? Has lots of potential.
