I recently stayed at Macdonald Leeming House for a relaxing getaway. The hotel's location on Ullswater lake was breathtaking, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The staff, particularly Lydia at reception, were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a feature king room, which was beautifully furnished and had a very comfortable bed. The hotel grounds were well-maintained and offered peaceful walking pathways down to the lake. The breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the changing menu for evening meals. a charming hotel with character and excellent service.

Totally recommend this hotel.

The staff at the hotel, especially Debbie and Sebastian, are superstars who couldn't do enough to help! The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and the location is near the lake. The comfortable bed made for a restful stay.

Felt right at home here, nothing to complain about.

The location of this hotel is truly breathtaking, with its proximity to the stunning Ullswater and a short distance from the charming village of Glenridding. The views from the rooms are absolutely lovely, offering a delightful panorama of the garden and the lake. Additionally, the rooms themselves are spacious and comfortable, with double doors leading to a terrace, providing a peaceful retreat.

The service at the hotel leaves much to be desired, with understaffing being a noticeable issue.

Nothing to complain about at all.

We were enchanted by the stunning scenic views from our room. The location of this hotel is remarkable with its beautiful gardens and shore of Ullswater in the Lake District. The amenities in the room were brilliant and covered all our needs; from 24-hour room service, welcome drink, and tours/ticket assistance to separate tub and shower, terrace and garden furniture. The friendly staff went all out to manage our special requests and make our stay amazing.

Uncomfortable beds.

We had a wonderful stay at Macdonald! The setting was absolutely stunning, with a beautiful terrace, gardens, and views of the lake. Our room was excellent, with a comfy bed, spacious bathroom, and high-quality amenities. The breakfast was superb, with a great variety to choose from. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive. We also appreciated the tour of the hotel facilities given by Livia at reception. we really enjoyed our time at Macdonald and would highly recommend it.

Superb room and hotel, delightful staff in dining, reception and bar, particularly Anton and Megan. Excellent breakfasts. Upgrade worth the extra £40 for a much better, spacious room. Easy access from motorway. Friendly restaurant staff. Amazing scenery, grounds lead to Ullswater lake edge. Helpful receptionist and comfortable, well-furnished classical-style lounges and bedroom. Extremely comfortable king-size bed with high-quality bedding. Nice relaxing stay after climbing Helvellyn.

The hotel's location on Ullswater provides stunning lake views, making it a magical setting. The well-maintained grounds are perfect for those with dogs, and the staff goes above and beyond to make them feel welcome. The traditional decor adds a touch of grandeur to the hotel, and the free on-site parking is convenient. The cooked breakfast in the morning is brilliant, and the staff is helpful and welcoming.

Felt incredibly welcome, no complaints whatsoever.

Spent New Year's at this hotel, and it was such a lovely experience. The complementary champagne and chocolates were a nice welcome touch! The views from our room were breathtaking, with easy access to a nearby lake and plenty of hiking trails. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home.

While we had a great time overall, the breakfast could have been better. The selection was basic and lacked variety, although it was delivered to our room upon request.

A great start to our holiday

Our room at Macdonald Leeming House was absolutely enormous, providing us with plenty of space to relax and unwind. The comfortable furnishings made it feel like a home away from home. The setting of the hotel was truly stunning, with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Despite a minor hiccup with the temperature of our evening meal and breakfast, the menu choices were great. The staff were fantastic, going out of their way to make our stay memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
