麥克唐納德利明別墅飯店(Macdonald Leeming House)

Stayed here for one night the grounds and views are beautiful and very tranquil. The hotel itself is sadly dirty and very tired. The hotel looks and feels like a care home. Needs a complete revamp, the bar food is ok but the breakfast was awful. Not worth the money much nicer places to stay. Very expensive for what it is. The hotel staff and waiting staff were all excellent however and work hard and very friendly. Sadly though would not return.

We booked at short notice for a special anniversary getaway, enticed by the beautiful views of Ullswater. We were not disappointed in that regard. The room with a balcony was comfortable and clean and the view fantastic. Staff were friendly and the receptionist sorted out a problem for us with little fuss. It is worth mentioning that the bar meal portions are on the small side and the breakfast is expensive for what you get. The full English is laid out nicely but is petite: one egg, a small rasher of bacon, one sausage, half a black pudding, half a flat mushroom, half a tomato, a tiny potato cake, one piece of sliced bread and a measure of butter. Other options like avacado on toast or salmon and scrambled egg demanded a hefty £6 premium. In the room, the towels are soft and warm but the bathrobes less so. The complentary shampoo & soap are fixed to the wall.

We had an amazing stay at Macdonald Leeming House for a short family break. The staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a lovely spacious family suite with a separate sleeping area for our two children which was great. The food at the restaurant was amazing and also the food at the lounge area was tasty. It is around a 5-minute walk to the lake and the hotel is situated in beautiful surroundings. We would love to stay at this hotel again.

Had a wonderful 3 night stay in March with family at Leeming House. Beautiful location - the friendliest staff (remember Joe in particular) in reception / bar / restaurant Will definitely book again in the future - thank you for a great short break Very close to great walks too!

This is an absolute gem of a hotel tucked away on the shores of Lake Ullswater. The welcome from the staff was generous and warm. The room was really nice, even though we had the cheapest room in the hotel. The food was fantastic. Really well-cooked and impeccably presented. The grounds are very traanquil. The Views up the lake are to die for.

The staff at Leeming House are unfailingly helpful and friendly.... each time feels like a homecoming to a very beautiful home ! Monica in particular is a big favourite...although I dont want to be unfair to the others, I run courses there regularly and my course delegates love it too ! I come back again and again!!

Excellent relaxing weekend stay in this beautiful friendly hotel. Big thanks to all the wonderful staff who made us feel so welcome and looked after all weekend. The food was amazing both breakfast and dinner the chefs really take pride in what they do, and everything tasted beautiful. The front of house team were excellent at what they did very professional and a pleasure to watch making you feel so welcome I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here for a great relaxing time Thank you

Went to Leeming House for an afternoon tea for Mother's Day. Beautiful house with a gorgeous view of the lake from the restaurant window. We enjoyed a really tasty and generous afternoon tea- finger sandwiches, a huge selection of cakes ( fancies, macaroons, chocolate fondue, meringue and more) and warm fruit scones with cream and both jam and lemon curd. Proper tea served from a teapot into china cups. The service was amazing, really attentive with clearing the table, refilling tea, etc, and the staff were super friendly, chatty, and helpful. We went for a stroll down to the lake between courses to work up an appetite for the cakes. Yes, as people have mentioned, the paint could do with a touch-up here and there, and there is an air of 'faded grandeur' about the building. However, I much prefer somewhere with character than the modern grey and silver or 'instahun' fake flowers that you see in most hotels.
