Lea Gate Review 30-Mar-2025

Alex was working behind the Reception desk on the night I arrived and I found him to be a very pleasant, cheerful and helpful young man who knew how to interact with guests. The checking-in procedure was efficient and quick. The room was spacious and clean and the sound-proofing very good. The mattress was very comfortable as I don't like rock-hard mattresses that you tend to get elsewhere so that was a bonus for me. There are plenty of car parking spaces available at both the hotel and the attached Hungry Horse restaurant. Breakfast was a mix of self-service for cereals, toast, coffee and fruit juices with waitress service taking orders for cooked breakfasts. I didn't have to wait long for my cooked breakfast to arrive and it was very good. The price was very reasonable compared with other establishments listed in the search engine results. The location meant that I was only ten minutes away from my client's premises and I arrived for my business meeting in good time feeling refreshed having avoided the stress of a commute on the M6 and M55.

We have had a wonderful stay at LeaGate and the Staff in the hotel were all fantastic. Jane Morgan one of the Receptionists was so kind and went out of her way to help us as we are disabled. She even carried our luggage to our room for us. We would definitely recommend this hotel. Sylvia & Colin Fosberry

Overnight stay for a wedding guest.

Friendly and organised reception team, clean and tidy hotel room, plenty large enough for what I needed. Very comfortable bed and well-kept bathroom. Great view of the woodland are from the window too. Quiet surroundings, easy to find and good facilities in the area.

It's hard to say much as we checked in late and checked out early following morning. The receptionist was friendly, no hustle checking in. The room was hoovered and dust free. The bath had a big chip. That didn't affect us with having a shower. Overall, we were happy with the room and the price we paid.

Looking Tired But Staff Very Friendly

The hotel (ex Premier Inn) is looking very tired and needs a revamp. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was very small but with plenty of storage for toiletries. It was convenient to have a Hungry Horse restaurant attached for breakfast and an evening meal. We couldn't fault the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Pity about the food next door

Hotel was fine but basic. The only real problem was the food served at the Hungry Horse next door. After a 40 minute wait for a baguette sandwich I was served with a still parbaked cold baguette. When I complained I was offered a replacement but I didnt have the time. So I just had to put up woth a “sorry”
