Review of The Leicester
Posted on by Cieran KellyType of travel: Business
Impeccable personal service, warm and friendly. Decor is contemporary but not out of keeping with the style of the house. Fantastic breakfast well cooked, some brilliant rustic home cooking with generous portions. My single room was well lit, well serviced and very comfortable. The bathroom is cosy, again it's well finished. Would I recommend? Why wouldn't I !!

What they have achieved with the limited space makes this better than most hotels I've stayed in. Louise & Lorraine are wonderful people, with a smile on their face, nothing is too much for them to do. Their cooked breakfast is 'second to none'! Fabulous stay!

One of the best breakfasts ever at a B&B - fantastic marmalade so good I bought lots and might try to make my own! Real fresh squeezed orange juice- great coffee. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts Lorraine and Louise they were well organised, professional and friendly. We stayed for 5 nights and we would thoroughly recommend this B&B.
