Lock in a great price for Macdonald Leeming House - rated 8.6 by recent guests.

to get started.

The balcony to our room was an unexpected bonus and, because the weather was so good, we were able to sit out having coffee even before breakfast. We realise of course that the weather isn't often like that in the Lake District. The accessibility to Dalemain, NT properties and the Ullswater Steamers was a particular attraction.

Norman, United Kingdom

This hotel is in a tranquil location overlooking Ullswater lake and mountain back drop, set within beautiful natural surroundings. Breakfast is individually prepared - fresh and staff friendly and professional.

Great location!

A Regency house overlooking Ullswater, the Macdonald Leeming House has luxurious rooms, an award-winning restaurant and gorgeous views of the Cumbrian Fells. It is 15 minutes 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 is only a 15-minute drive from the M6 motorway and 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 for a two-person trip.

“Could do better. (We understand that the general manager is due back from holiday)”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Feature King Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉Far more attention to detail should be paid. It was not good enough to claim that problems arose on one particular evening because many of the staff were new and they were having to cope with two parties of Japanese; we're talking about the Lake District, for heaven's sake.
눇The balcony to our room was an unexpected bonus and, because the weather was so good, we were able to sit out having coffee even before breakfast. We realise of course that the weather isn't often like that in the Lake District. The accessibility to Dalemain, NT properties and the Ullswater Steamers was a particular attraction.
