Macdonald Leeming House

Excellent location. Delicious food and good service.

The rooms are a little old fashioned but comfortable.

Fabulous location stunning views and a great breakfast

The property is nice and quaint but furnishing were a tad old

The food was very good. The cost of over £15 for a pudding was too much.

The general maintenance inside was very poor.

The location and view

Room hot , and noisy pipe work!

You won't find a better location in the lake district, with not only a splendid view over Ullswater right from the hotel itself, but also fine walks nearby. The rooms are more luxurious than the exterior might suggest. They are extremely comfortable and beautifully appointed. The public areas of the hotel are filled with character and haven't been overly restored to please spoiled travelers. Overall, a place to return to happily.

I didn't try the main restaurant, because the prices were high. Instead, I ate in the bar and was generally quite satisfied with the pub menu, though the steak sandwich one day was almost inedible.

The staff, all of them couldn’t have been more welcoming. The food was delicious

No hairdryer in my room and I face cloth

Friendly staff and beautiful gardens .

Clean and tidy - but I feel it is in need of modernisation . Music in dining room at breakfast - old fashioned / jazz

Location, Gardens and building decor was beautiful.

The shower was cold from first thing in the morning till we checked out. Stall although were very pleasant, could perhaps go through some training updates and communicate more with one another. The bath robes and bed clothes could do with a regular check up. We had a ripped pillow case and damaged belt loops on the bathrobes.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is stunning. The hotel is wonderful.

It would be useful for the rooms to have a thermostat or a way to turn the radiator down, as it was very warm.

Beautiful building and location on Ullswater. Good parking too.

Bar staff seemed to have very little idea of service and types of drinks. Breakfast should start at 0730 and quality of meal and presentation mediocre. No room fridge. WiFi really tricky to get into and keeps dropping out. Dirty cleaning towel left in my wash basin by housekeeping. Credit card machines not working properly - particularly AmEx. Very expensive for the offering which was very much 3 star. No real improvements in two years since we last stayed. It needs to be taken in hand! It is in a great location and has good bricks and mortar so could be a great hotel if there was investment in staff and their training.

Not much

As I was at the hotel for my sons wedding I wasn't happy about getting changed after the ceremony in the car park.

Our stay was truly a beautiful experience. All the staff made us feel welcome and were happy to help. The grounds are phenomenal and the food was incredible.

That we couldn’t stay longer! We will absolutely be returning.

Breakfast was great. No problem with that at all and staff at breakfast were lovely

The vegetable soup for lunch was like dishwater and very peppery. I couldn't eat it and still was charged. One coffee cup in bedroom had loads of creepy crawlies in it. I immediately complained. I got no apology , lady manager seemed to think replacing cup made it all right. and hotel has not contacted me since my email to them since returning home. Not a good experience and we would never go back

Stunning views, patio area for dogs, safe and secure, amazing character of the hotel, I felt like I was in the notebook film! Serene, calming and lovely food. Jordan on the front desk was exceptionally welcoming helpful and friendly

That I had to leave !

This was a charming hotel set in a stunning location. Our stay was quiet and relaxing. The staff were friendly and very efficient. The food was delicious- we had breakfast and evening meals.

There was anything that we didn’t like.

Beautiful setting. Stunning location. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The room was huge, as was the bed, and we had a view of the lake, which was simply wonderful.

Location superb , staff excellent

Prices of food & Bar inside were quite high

The view from the balcony was amazing. Food was extremely good.

Cleanliness should have been better. It was ok but for the price I was expecting more. Back of the bathroom door needed cleaning and skirting board were dusting. The balcony although had an amazing view it needed repainting and repair around dividers and fascia.

Beautiful location, exceptional timely home and grounds with some amazing staff

Location was beautiful

Bathroom was tired and not cleaned properly which was disappointing. Breakfast was a little sparse my husband likes a buffet breakfast and prefers to not keep asking.
