Absolutely beautiful place to stay, the staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful, the room was amazing and very clean, I have recommended this place to a lot of people and I will definitely be back, thanks for a fantastic stay.

David United Kingdom

What can we say other than SUPERB. Our stay could mot have been more enjoyable. The staff especially,so polite and proffessional in their ways. We are both well travelled and have stayed un many hotels in this country and abroad,and we have to say that this is in our top ten. The food was very good but the menu could have had more choice.All in all superb.

Julian United Kingdom

Nice hotel. Nice staff, however Ben, the waiter is one of the most professional and attentive waiters I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was truly excellent.

Robert United Kingdom

From the moment we arrived we were looked after like a lord and lady of the manor. The attention to detail was beyond anything we've had elsewhere. On Boxing Day it was wet and windy so we decided scones and coffee in the lounge in front of a roaring fire was what we needed. Well. They made the scones to order. We were told it would take 15 minutes. Who cares! Well worth the wait.

Pamela United Kingdom

Room was clean and spacious. Also has a large balcony with a table. Staffs were all kind and I could get help for everything. From the garden and the restaurant, I could enjoy an excellent view of Ullswater. Breakfast was amazing as well. It's a bit far from town but if you have a car, you can easily go around. Perfect place for taking a break.

Sun United Kingdom

Everything. Very warm welcome and friendly service. Beautiful old building with quality fixtures and fittings. All the different lounges were Beautiful dressed, with amazing views. Very comfortable rooms.Excellent breakfast

Lee United Kingdom

Staff were exceedingly friendly and obliging. Amazing views over Ullswater. Room was large, comfortable and clean. Felt reassured that the hotel were taking every measure to keep us Covid safe. Restaurant food was delicious with great service at both dinner and breakfast. Room service very good too.

Courtney United Kingdom

Where do I start. We had planned this trip for a while as we were a bit worried about Covid. Our worries evaporated when we arrived at this unbelievable hotel. We stepped into the hotel during the evening time, so we were greeted by the stunning entrance under spotlight. David welcomed us with a warm reception. We had brought our small dog and were accommodated impeccably, served dinner in a private library with the food being 5 star quality, never mind the service from Ryan. We enjoyed a morning walk before leaving the hotel, not before being well looked after during breakfast.

Jason United Kingdom

Service staff was accommodating, welcoming, friendly, Lovely reception staff, Location, How clean everything was, beautiful grounds and views,

Ryuk United Kingdom

The building of the hotel was full of charming character. The grounds were beautiful and the views were fantastic. The food was delicious and the staff were helpful, friendly and a credit to the hotel. Upon arrival we were upgraded, what a room ! A perfect stay.

One of our top picks in Watermillock. A Regency house overlooking Ullswater, the Macdonald Leeming House has an award-winning restaurant and views of the Cumbrian Fells. It is a 15-minute drive from the M6 motorway.

The en-suite bedrooms are decorated in a traditional style and all have flat-screen TVs and seating areas. Some rooms have balconies with lake views.

The Regency Restaurant has an AA Rosette Award and serves modern British cuisine. The conservatory and terrace offer a more relaxed setting for informal lunches and dinners.

The hotel has 22 acres of grounds and offers croquet on the lawn and private fishing on the river. Indoors, there is a drawing room, library and sitting room with log fires in the winter.

Leeming House features a private helipad. Penrith is 7.5 miles away and Aira Force, the waterfall Wordsworth wrote about, is 3 miles away.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

  • I am booking to visit on the 12th of January. I was wondering what is near in terms of pubs and things to do? Thanks

    Thank you for your enquiry. We are situated in the little of hamlet of Watermillock on the shores of Ullswater. The nearest pub to us is about 3/4 of a mile away, back along the main road - this is unlit country road. Other than that you have the villages of Pooley Bridge, 3 miles north, or Glenridding which is 3 miles south. The road into Pooley Bridge is currently closed due to flood repairs to replace the bridge, however you can park in the free temporary car park and its a 10 minute walk to the village from there where you will find two convenience stores, a couple of gift shops, two pubs, a restaurant and cafe.. Glenridding also has a similar amount of pubs/hotels, a cafe and convenience store. There are many walks local to the area - although non directly from our hotel as we are surrounded by private land. We have maps which can assist in your choices. There is a beautiful waterfall nearby. We also have a host of leaflets with information about local attractions and things to do further afield.

  • I see the check-in time (16:00) is too late as I plan to be there by 12:00 or 13:00, Did you have flexibility for early check-in and is this chargeable or can be provided for free? I am interested to book this property, however the late check-in stopped me.

    Good morning, Our policy is to not garauntee that any of our rooms will be available until 4pm. This is due to the fact that our checkout time is 11am so we need to allow time for our housekeeping team to clean and service all rooms before the next guests arrive. If you were to arrive early at the hotel, you will be welcome to store bags in our reception area and use any of our lounge or bar areas prior to your room being ready. If you are planning to visit us during a quieter period (for example mid week over the next month) then there is a possibility that we could allocate you a room which has not been used the night before so would therefore be ready on your arrival. Again this is not garaunteed and is totally dictacted by the type of room you require and our occupancy at that time.

  • Regarding the dinner included...we do not eat meat what menu do you offer ?

    We offer a choice of menus - in our restuarant we offer a table d'hote menu, which is a set menu with 4 choices of each starter, main and dessert. This is priced at £35 for 2 courses or £45 for three. On this menu there is one vegetarian, one fish and two meat dishes to choose from for each course. We also offer a lounge menu which can be eaten in the bar, lounges, library or your room which offers a variety of sandwiches, macaroni cheese or soup. The chef is always willing to try and find suitable alternatives if you are not happy with what is on the menu.

  • I see the check-in time (16:00) is too late as I plan to be there by 12:00 or 13:00, Did you have flexibility for early check-in and is this chargeable or can be provided for free? I am interested to book this property, however the late check-in stopped me.

    Good morning, Our policy is to not garauntee that any of our rooms will be available until 4pm. This is due to the fact that our checkout time is 11am so we need to allow time for our housekeeping team to clean and service all rooms before the next guests arrive. If you were to arrive early at the hotel, you will be welcome to store bags in our reception area and use any of our lounge or bar areas prior to your room being ready. If you are planning to visit us during a quieter period (for example mid week over the next month) then there is a possibility that we could allocate you a room which has not been used the night before so would therefore be ready on your arrival. Again this is not garaunteed and is totally dictacted by the type of room you require and our occupancy at that time.
