We are delighted to welcome you to St.Leonard’s to enjoy excellent food and a comfortable stay in our boutique guest rooms in West Malling. To ensure the safety of our guests and our team, we are following all government guidelines and are keeping an eye on changing regulations.

This is to help the government trace all guests who may have been present in the case of a suspected outbreak. If you cannot scan a QR code, or if you do not have the NHS Test and Trace app, a member of our team will take your details. These will be kept on file for 21 days before being deleted.
