About this property

Welcome to The Greyhound Hotel Leigh

The Greyhound Hotel Leigh, nestled on Warrington Rd in Leigh, offers a modest yet welcoming stay for travelers seeking comfort with reasonable value. Situated conveniently close to major hubs like Manchester and Liverpool, this Sporting Lodge Inns property is ideal for visitors on the move. The hotel’s blend of a historic pub atmosphere coupled with a modern annexe adds a unique charm to its identity.

While the overall rating of 3.2 reflects an experience that could be improved, many guests appreciate the attentive and friendly staff who contribute significantly to a warm and inviting ambiance. The rooms range from classic to newly refurbished, demonstrating an ongoing effort toward enhancement. The renovated rooms showcase firmer mattresses and updated décor, though some areas, particularly the building’s exterior and certain interiors, still show signs of wear and could benefit from further maintenance and a touch of TLC.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room could do with a refurbishment but saying that I didn't expect a lot for what we paid. Breakfast was excellent, shower was excellent bed was comfy. 2 complaints 1.Way way too hot at night felt like sleeping in a furnace. 2. Didn't appreciate finding a dirty sock from a previous guest in a bedside cabinet

The place is in need of some maintenance but the rooms are a decent size, the bathroom was excellent and it was clean. Reasonable value for money and a good location for trips by car to Manchester, Liverpool, etc.

I’ve stayed here numerous times over the years. This time, I was in one of the newly refurbished rooms and it’s good to see some money being spent to improve the place. With the refurb it’s great value for the price. Brand new mattresses are very firm though! I implore the owners to invest some time tidying up the exterior, so people aren’t put off as they approach

Hotel should be turn in to 3 star hostel. It should be renovated with small cost. Place have potential but need a bit of TLC. I see those place is struggling but putting extra things like payimg 4 renting towels or WiFi might help to owner get money 4 renovation. I enjoy stay. Warm and cosy. Quiet place. Staff nice but I feel they need more possitive spirit. I still think its greate place location and value. Back one day:-).

Great value staying here but wish i had remembered to bring swimwear. Thought the pool looked very inviting. Had the vegan options on the menu and thoroughly enjoyed them. Particularly the stuffed peppers main course. The staff were all lovely and lady at breakfast even cooked vegan sausages specially for me. Terrific service! Room was clean warm and comfortable.. bath a bit dated but fine for a shower. Not a lot to fault.. will stay again if i am in the area..
