Good, central location. I had a back room, overlooking a surgery car park which was not used at the weekend and therefore very quiet. I didn't need a view, I only used the room for sleeping. There was no noise from the pub after closing time. Other guests were quiet coming and going. The room was compact, clean, pleasantly decorated and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was modern and clean. Good water pressure in shower.

The opening glass screens on the shower enclosure had come off their tracks. I had to lift them back on before I could use it. They are very heavy and I have severely arthritic hands, it was very difficult. This should have been noticed by the cleaner. There was nobody on the premises to assist.

The Fountain Inn is a very quaint lodging house and pub; it fulfilled my (American) fanciful notion of a British public house. The proprietors and staff and customers were so very nice. Lots of drafts on tap from which to choose. The proprietor carried luggage up to the room and made us feel so welcome. The town offers dining choices which are walkable from the inn. We were able to park right in front of the inn for the evening and found a space not far away for our car after 9 a.m. Our room was clean and comfortable. We were reluctant to move onwards in our journey!

What's not to like?!

Rooms are very clean. Milk, tea, coffee and biscuits all available.

Disappointed that for the price paid breakfast was not included. Venue is a pub but does not do food. There isn’t anywhere close by to get breakfasts (everything was closed as a Sunday and we wanted to leave for 9am) Check in could be made easier by just giving the code before arrival. We had to wait for a poor lass who was serving behind the bar to check us in and show us to our rooms.

I’ve stayed at this property several times before and chose the small room as it is very good value and has everything I need for a comfortable stay. The shower has good pressure and plenty of hot water and the coffee bags and fresh milk are a nice touch. You can also normally park off road or if not, there is on street parking right outside. The property doesn’t do breakfast but I normally drive about half a mile to ‘Mill Street Kitchen’ an old fashioned cafe that does an excellent full English breakfast for £6.50 including fresh coffee!

The stairs up to the room are a bit steep so take care!

We loved our stay at The Fountain. I would agree with other reviewers and say that I was amazed how quiet it was at night. The room was cosy and peaceful, the young lady who welcomed us was really friendly and helpful. We had a drink in the pub the evenings we were there and it’s a fabulous proper old fashioned pub, we loved it. We only booked here because we could not get into our usual place we stay (we are regular visitors to Leek) but we would certainly return.

Space around the bed was pretty tight, but it really wasn’t a problem and I think more spacious rooms are available.

Comfy bed. Powerful shower. Clean. Little fridge with proper milk for coffee. Parking outside. Good location only few min walk from town. Good pub downstairs with ale for my partner and cider for me. 20 min drive to Luds Church walk and National Trust property Biddulph Grange.

Compact room (room 2) but big cupboard for bags. Would be quite hot in the summer although little fan provided. Soft pillows. Car got blocked in a few times with people parking in front of exit. May be worth putting up a sign to note that access is required.

Absolutely lovely room. Everything you need. Quick check in lovely clean room tea and Coffee available with biscuits, replenished when needed. Lovely clean pub.

Booking.com said parking available the pub only has two spaces to the side of the pub. We were lucky and got a space near the church opposite. Also, Booking.com said chocolate in the rooms for our guests, and apparently, this is something the pub has never offered! Naughty Booking.com !

bed and lovely pillows. position as it was just around the corner from our daughters.

Steep stairs to all room. no parking available even though it was advertised as parking on site. There were four rooms but only 2 parking spaces and as it was full both were taken throughout our stay Didn't like having to enter the entrance via a keypad directly from the street. I am partially sighted and when there were a pile of people outside the pub door I was embarrassed

Easy walk from property into Centre of Leek. Room was over a pub but still quiet. Bed was large & comfortable. All staff were helpful and friendly. Pub is popular with locals and has an amazing selection of real ales

It was fine for us but please note there is a long staircase up to the room. No car park but free parking is available in close proximity, higher up the street and on the other side of the church. Pub doesn’t serve food including at breakfast time but welcomes Take Away & offers utensils. There are lovely cafes & tea rooms close by.

Lovely comfy bed, room and bathroom very clean, and we had a great tea/coffee tray with biscuits and fresh milk in the fridge, which was replaced upon request. We were given a parking space which was great as we like to walk about as much as we can. Locals were friendly in the bar and there were fabulous real ales kept very nicely and at a reasonable price available. We visited Rudyard Lake and had very good weather.

No option for breakfast at the Hotel but that didn't matter, we walked to wetherspoons and had a bargain breakfast!
