Fantastic location, wonderful scenery. Staff are attentive and knowledgable. Our room had a balcony lake view across the garden. The room was comfortable, clean and well furnished. The quality of food was of a high standard. This was our first stay in this hotel, it will not be our last, highly recommended.

We stayed here on a two night travelzoo offer. The mid winter weather couldn't have been better, cloudless sky's for the whole stay!!! A rare treat compared our previous trips to the Lake District. The hotel is in a superb location, the views over the lake were stunning. food was good and plentiful. Room was comfortable. Will stay here again

On arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome and a glass of sherrry, a lovely touch. Being disabled on crutches i had asked for a ground floor room with not too far to walk and this was provided, the nearest possible to reception I think. The room was large and very comfortable, a little "shabby chic" in places but... More

We booked this hotel with a group of motoring friends more than a year ago. Location and our room with its balcony and view over the lake was very good. However, having arrived at 4.00pm our room, and several of our friends rooms were not ready. Booking in at reception was haphazard and checking out the next day, painfully slow... More

This is a Macdonald hotel in what was a country house on the shores of Ulleswater. The public areas and rooms in the original building have that old world appeal which suits the architecture and as everything was clean and polished then that was fine with us. We enjoyed a weekend deal to celebrate my wifes birthday and we thoroughly... More

We visited here with the aim of having lunch. We normally eat at a nearby hotel but thought we would have a change. The hotel really is very nice and the staff fantastic. However, the food was not good. We ordered salmon sandwiches and received a plate with bread and salmon in the middle so I suppose it was a... More

Just had a one night stay at the Leeming House Hotel, wow what a location, we had a lovely bedroom with a balcony overlooking the formal gardens and water fountain, with the stunning backdrop of Ullswater and the dramatic scenery behind. The gardens are a delight to walk around and very well kept and presented. Our room and bathroom were... More

stayed two nights with family and small child. our rooms overlooked the lake and gardens - very lovely. Good size rooms with enough space for cot. Bed fairly comfotable, pillows a bit on the lumpy side. Small bathroom and noisy taps (air in pipes). Dinner in restaurant was good but we thought a bit on the pricy side at £7... More
