Very central, warm and welcoming. Comfortable bed and very clean room with a spacious bathroom and nice toiletries. The manager was very welcoming and helped me with other local arrangements that I needed to make.
Nothing to dislike

The people are fabulous, really helpful, sorted a breakfast for 2 at no notice, took our bags to the room and took time to get to know us, will definitely stay again, they really know how to run a hotel.
Nothing to report!

The Silk House is conveniently located in the centre of the historic market town of Leek, very close to the lively town centre. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming making us feel at home quickly.Although there is no dedicated parking, there is free, on-street parking within easy walking distance. The continental breakfast with freshly baked pastries gave us a lovely start to our day.
Highly recommended.
Nothing. We were all very happy with our stay at The Silk House.

We did nt have breakfast
Only issue, which is not any reflection on The Silk House, is the parking: No private parking and nearby car parks are short stay

Beautiful building with a cosy feel, and if you're in room number 3 at the hotel then there is a fantastic large Victoria & Albert bath to be enjoyed. The cellar bar is a great vibe on a live music night. Management very available and friendly.

The hotel was in a lovely location, very pretty and the proprietor was very welcoming and helpful.
There was no shower, just a bath. The mattress was very soft- uncomfortable.

My wife found the bed uncomfortable. (I slept really well!)
The mirror was hanging off the wall in our bathroom and our lobby light didn’t work.

A great location & easy check in. Theres a bar which we didnt use but looked very nice. The room is attractive & clean & good facilities.
Really uncomfortable bed. Think the mattress needs replacing.

A beautifu and welcoming place right in the centre of town. Locals often stop into the hotel bar, which has several guitars waiting to be played by anyone who wants to, and a great vibe. If anything isn't right, the staff will fix it. For example the wifi is sometimes spotty -- tell the staff, they'll fix it. And the rooms can get quite hot on hot nights -- ask for a fan, they'll bring one.
Being right on the high street, it has no on-site parking, so if you have a car, make sure you make arrangements in advance.

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.
I prefer showers over baths, so a shower curtain around the huge, beautiful antique-style clawfoot tub would have been nice.

Room was dark windows low down light bulbs very low light Bathroom light worth less couldn’t read my book in the bath as too dark ! Outside sitting area also for people drinking in the bar and on Sundays it’s all locked up can’t use it which not great with the heat !
No wardrobe just rod with 4 coat hangers and ironing board all on show in the room not great look from the bed

People don’t reply to messages. Or answer the phone
The venue doesn’t even open to attempt a check in until 4pm. Ridiculous for a hotel
8.0 / 10.0
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.
Room temperature - but this was a seasonal/ temporary issue due to the high temperatures in July 2025.

Characterful property in central position. Warm greeting from staff and nice garden bar area
A little tired bathroom. Noisy road but we expected that.

Location was where we wanted to be and the reason for our choice.
Parking was easy nearby.
Coffee and biscuits were replenished.
The uneven room floor was unusual and quaint.
No all day receptionist.
Room service very poor. Our bed was not made up, bins not emptied, wet shower towel left untouched on the floor.
Room furniture dirty and the single chair (with 2 occupants) was rickety. Curtains trailing on the floor and poorly hung. Nice garden spoilt with rubbish at its entrance.

Great central location.
Room had a fridge and microwave which were very useful.
One of lamps in bedroom didn't work; soap dispenser needed filling - small details needed checking. Once pointed out everything sorted quickly. Helpful, friendly hosts.

It was all about the location for our visit as we were on a business trip.
Great hotel full of character and a very surprising choice of drinks on tap.
Proprietor couldn't have been more helpful.
A little jewel.
The limbo dancers coming under the gap in my bedroom door.

nothing all good.

The location was fantastic and on-street parking was easily available,
The hotel looks beautiful in the photographs, but the bedroom I stayed in on the top floor was soulless, as was the bathroom. The hot tap for the bathroom sink did not work and made clanking noises which must have reverberated throughout the floors, the lighting in the bathroom was dreary and the mattress was very lumpy. I had to ask for a hairdryer to be supplied. All in all very disappointing stay and not value for money.
