What a great find. We arrived early & Keith gave a warm welcome, allowing us to park in the small space at his property. He gave us great advice on the local area & the ferry across to Cumbrae to go walking. This guy knows his stuff.  …

We stayed at St Leonard’s last Sunday and couldn’t believe how lucky we were. Not only did we have arguably the best room in this superb guest house, but we were blessed with a beautiful blue sky and warm weather all day. …

The weekend stay was excellent. Keith was a wonderful host. The breakfast was very good and had lots of choice. The twin room was cosy and the shower was amazing, very large and modern. Loved the garden at the front. The accommodation was very near to the station and east to get to.

As someone that travels a lot, usually for business and stays in a multitude of guest houses, hotels etc, this is the best. Well designed and very clean rooms, bathroom and shower room. Service was second to none. Breakfast was superb. Keith the proprietor was attentive and helpful to the extreme. It's a must if you're in the area. I will certainly return.
