Macdonald Leeming House

Beautiful hotel with attentive staff and amazing views. Will definitely be going back.

Absolutely fantastic views from our room. Would definitely stay here again 👍

Beautiful Scenery, Calm Location.
Best for weddings, honeymoon and Team Visit

Good country house hotel.
Excellent room and bath room. Some rooms have fantastic views. Very comfortable lounge with log fire for the occasional rainy day in the Lake District. Great views from this room also.

Beautiful garden leading down to lake Ullswater.

Helpful and efficient reception staff.

Full English breakfast and cold buffet.
IPA available on draught and selection of bottled beers and of course wines and spirits.
However the only food available after 6pm is the dinner in the main restaurant at £35 for 2 courses and £45 for 3, pp and eating like this over several evenings is hard work when you may prefer a steak or curry!

Exceptional views of Ullswater. I attended a wedding in a marquee outside the venue and it was brilliant. Only downside was how expensive the drinks were. £8 for a glass of wine!

BEWARE BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM MANAGER GRAEME.

We stayed at this hotel looking for a wedding venue, turned up with a 4 year old child 12.30pm on Sunday 30th April to be greeted by manger Graeme.

We were told the room was not ready until 2pm and we had to come back, we stated we would not be back until much later that day and if anything at all was available could we have this or wait. Again we were told to come back at 2pm.

The car park was empty and the hotel looked deserted. No attempt what so ever was made to try accommodate us. I went back to complain and all Graeme kept saying was check is was not until 2pm, no customer service skills what so ever.

In the morning we were put on a table in the corner without any light and charged 49 for 2 extra breakfasts.

The room for 1 night was £200, not worth it at all, no mini bar and tv did not work.

Spoilt our night away and definitely would not get married here.

Rude staff, scammed in to paying for a £45 drinks order that we didn't order - delivered to our room an hour and a half after the bar had closed? Very small room which did not meet our standards for the amount charged per room. The redeeming features are the beautiful building, grounds and location.

This is a lovely venue of course and the staff are helpful but it is expensive and we were a little disappointed with the breakfast - a reduced choice of things. Our evening meal - novelle cuisine - was very tasty but expensive. We had an attractive and comfortable room overlooking grounds and Ullswater Lake. Why not five stars? The breakfast let it down really; perhaps unfair but we thought there was an attitude of 'We don't have to make any special effort beyond politeness and promptness because the hotel "Speaks for itself"'

Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. Great food and service, will definitely be going back!
