Looking for hotels on the web can be rather hit and miss. The Leconfield was a big hit. Nothing was too much for Cheryl and Paul, the owners. All the staff were most polite, welcoming and professional. The rooms were spotless being cleaned every day we were there. The food was first class being produced to the highest standard from...

Having stayed in many hotels, The Leconfield ranks among the very best. The excellent and delightfully appointed rooms, the first class cuisine and the stupendous views would be enough to make it so, but these are all trumped by the wonderful caring atmosphere created by Paul, Cheryl and all their staff. You won't find better.

Along with all the other reviews we could find no fault with the "Leconfield Experience". We have travelled extensively and stayed in Hotels of all sizes and grades and this ranks with the very best. Our thanks to Paul, Cheryl and the team for a memorable stay. We would not hesitate to recommend it.

This is probably one of the best B&B we have stayed in. Paul and Cheryl were very welcoming and friendly. All the staff were very friendly to. The atmosphere is very good as we spoke to the fellow stayers as well. The beds are comfortable and the shower is amazing! Better than jacuzzi! The cooked breakfast was very good. All... More
