The Silk House

Superb

Liked: Great host at the hotel. Very welcoming and good bar.
Disliked: Fancy bath rather than a shower - we should have checked.

I loved this place.

Liked: Beautfiul former merchants' home right in the town centre -- all of Leek is walkable from here. Staff are friendly and chatty, and locals stop by regularly because the pub and beer garden are both great. If you're a guitarist, try one of the three on stands in the pub (they have live music on weekends). Rooms are very comfortable.
Disliked: I prefer showers over baths, so a shower curtain around the huge, beautiful antique-style clawfoot tub would have been nice.

A fabulous summer mini-break in...

Liked: The staff were fabulous and friendly. The location in Leek was great & a short walk away from lovely shops and cafes. The garden was a wonderful retreat to chill out in. The roll top bath was a lovely feature in the bathroom - but if you require a shower, this isn't the room for you.
Disliked: Room temperature - but this was a seasonal/ temporary issue due to the high temperatures in July 2025.
