Fantastic getaway, even better hotel

10.0

Stayed here a few weekends ago and haven’t stopped thinking about the getaway since. Fantastic building, beautiful location, outstanding food, delightful rooms and very warm, friendly, professional staff. A special mention to; Matt the bar man who served us our evening meals and after dinner drinks with great professionalism, yet provided a very personalised service and had a clear enthusiasm his work. He also showed great local knowledge with help planning out a fantastic last day in the lakes. Other honourable mentions; Monica who served us breakfast to start our days right, Donna the cleaning lady who was lovely and approachable, and everyone else who we encountered.

Lovely birthday break

This is our 10th year visiting Leeming House. Started the first visit of 2026 celebrating my birthday. Lovely welcome back from Reception, we’d requested our favourite room and everything was very clean. Dinner was in the small dining room, very cosy with the log fire. Dinner both nights was excellent. The amaretto creme brûlée was amazing. Breakfast very good too. Friendly and attentive restaurant staff. We love coming here and can’t wait to return in May.

Amazing Views and a Wonderful Stay

10.0

The location of the hotel is amazing with views out of the dining room over Ullswater. We were also lucky enough to have a room which faced the water. The room was a good size and the bathroom had Elemis toiletries which was a treat. It was fairly quiet in the hotel, but this was expected during a very rainy January in the Lake District. That said, there were a few other guests so it didn't feel too empty. The food and service were exceptional in the restaurant. All members of the hotel staff made us feel incredibly welcome and were very helpful. We stayed on a Secret Escapes deal which included dinner, bed, breakfast and a glass of wine with dinner which proved excellent value for money. Whilst the hotel is remote, there is a bus service which literally passes the end of the hotel entrance so very convenient. Overall, we would definitely recommend staying at Macdonald Leeming House and would return.

Beautiful quiet hotel with friendly staff and great food.

We have just returned from a three night stay at this Hotel. It’s situated off the road in its own grounds with views across Ullswater and is very peaceful. We had a lovely room which was a decent size with a balcony overlooking the gardens and the Lake. The staff were welcoming,friendly, attentive,and helpful. We had dinner each night in the hotel restaurant where the food was first class and exceptionally tasty. We will be back.
