Leonardslee House
A stay recognised by the MICHELIN Guide
Leonardslee House has been awarded a MICHELIN Key, recognising an exceptional hotel experience defined by character, hospitality and a distinctive sense of place.
Set within the historic Leonardslee estate, the house brings together individually designed bedrooms, celebrated dining and the tranquillity of the surrounding gardens.
—The Setting
Inside a Victorian dream.
Leonardslee House was built in the 1850s and sits within Grade I-listed botanical gardens famed for their azaleas, rhododendrons and seven interconnected lakes. The house has been carefully restored as a small luxury hotel heritage features preserved, modern comforts layered in with restraint.
Stay here and the gardens are yours to walk before they open and after they close. The dining room is downstairs. The team will know your name by morning.
The House and its grounds.
The exterior, the suites, the lakes and a MICHELIN Starred dining room downstairs.
