“The Fountain Inn strikes a good balance, providing comfortable, well-appointed rooms that are surprisingly quiet given their central Leek location. Its real strength, however, lies in the adjacent pub, a hub for locals and a haven for ale enthusiasts with an impressive selection. The thoughtful touches in the rooms, like fresh milk and ample storage, elevate the 'room only' offering into a genuinely appealing stopover.”
