Very peaceful and relaxing. We had a balcony with the best view of the lake! Amazing! The grounds were lovely also. The man at the desk was very lovely, friendly and helpful. However, they desperately need poo bag bins! It’s a great hotel for dogs and there were no restrictions, however there were no bins at all to put the poo bags which was very annoying.

Private footpath to the lake. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27EF73F63103146DB3ACC1A196D4F909D951E8CE1723466329869.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49BADCDA434F8F4322DF96B9CB27D635997AF7341723466325135.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dipa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liesl Apr 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing and unforgettable stay We had a lovely family stay at Macdonald Leeming House recently. Firstly, all the staff were really amazing and nothing was too much effort. They made the overall stay experience great. I loved the interior and design of the manor and the gardens are beautiful. It is around 5 minutes to walk to the lake which is very convenient. We would definitely visit again. ##### Liesl Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephen Feb 25, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort this hotel is tired and shabby and expensive for what it was . it needs lots of investment for this to be a good hotel ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Feb 26, 2025 Liked: Staff & service #### Expected Better Little outdated, drinks and dinner menu is pretty expensive and doesn’t offer a lot They say breakfast is included but charge for a latte or cappuccino as it’s their premium coffee Staff is nice helpful and polite ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas Aug 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice hotel in a great location . Bathrooms and toilets a bit dated . Breakfast selection was basic ##### Nicholas Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### ELISABETH Nov 26, 2024 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice room, quiet scenic location, More of a hotel for conferences Lacked atmosphere When we stayed weather was cold, fires in lounges kept going by residents, warmest place was your room. Staff were polite Would not go nack. Shame as it is on a beautiful position. ##### ELISABETH Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie Nov 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Short getaway Amazing short trip away. Beautiful surroundings, excellent food, attentive staff. Warm and tidy room, bathroom a little tired but clean and functional. Was asked on check out for feedback only thing to add was wi fi would have been useful to help plan activities. Overall a fabulous individual hotel steeped in history on the edge of Ullswater. ##### Melanie Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Sep 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Amazing views Amazing hotel with views to die for!! We had a balcony with a view and was worth paying for the bigger room. We did opt for a room with a king size bed but got a room with 2 singles put together so was abit disappointing but the view made up for it!! Dog friendly hotel so lots of lovely pooches about. Breakfast was amazing!!! Dry friendly and helpful staff! Lots of choice and again amazing views!!! ![View over breakfast](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D4C0D1D908AB644B361C97D8BB95B22993C1E3CF1662630481837.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ismail Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Exceeded expectations, staff were friendly and hospitable and were in high spirits which was what you needed for a time out in the Lake District. The inside place I could describe was classic, posh and extravagant. It felt a bit like the White House inside. The view from the breakfast hall took me away. The window side had a clear view of the mountain. The lawn was well cut and maintained. Would love to go there again. ##### Ismail Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Disappointing for the price Views are amazing, everything else is distinctively average at best. Nowhere near worth the price they charge per night. I would also make sure you get breakfast included with the room or you'll be stung £24 for a rather small 'Full English'. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Alex Apr 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tranquil but still disappointed by hotel services Checked in here after leaving a sister hotel 2 days early due to very underwhelming service. Hotel is lovely and a very nice break away in a rural setting. Only negative was that the hotel advertises access to a nearby indoor pool. I asked about this at reception to be told the hotel did not have a pool. I was then told the ‘nearby’ pool was at the sister hotel in Windermere (a 35-40 minute drive away!). This was also the hotel I had checked out of early the previous day. How this can be classed as nearby I do not know. Otherwise as above if you’re looking for a quiet get away this place is perfect (limited phone signal but that is sometimes a good thing!). Sadly though I can’t see me staying at a Macdonald hotel again. ##### Alex Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### John Oct 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities We found the property needing update and was very highly priced for what it is. The wonderful view is acknowledged. Our room was noisy with a hot water boiler filling up and waking us on three occasions during the night. The receptionist was not helpful. Food was good especially the breakfast but costly. Most staff helpful but reception not welcoming. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Realign Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall a very beautiful property and area with truly outstanding views and staff. Downside would be that the bathroom was in need of some maintenance, door was scuffed and needed repainting, shower and bath had areas of patchy sealant. Breakfast was amazing and very accommodating staff. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1eaf2bd4-50cb-432f-bcf0-19aeba538df2-1753707470381.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Realign Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We love the hotel. Lovely hotel and food.

The location & setting was amazing. The staff were all very friendly and professional. The Reception staff were excellent and very accomodating. The building is looking at bit tired in places and would benefit from some upgrades especially externally. The evening meal was good although portion sizes were a bit questionable given the prices charged. The wine on offer also was a little disappointing. Breakfast wasnt the standard i was expecting. ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Chatham-Kent](https://www.expedia.ca/Chatham-Kent-Hotels.d6057866.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Moxy NYC Lower East Side](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Moxy-NYC-Lower-East-Side.h82937730.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Turks-And-Caicos.d184.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Spain](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Spain-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d166-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Boulders-Resort-Spa-Scottsdale.h10782.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Clevelands House Resort Muskoka](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Clevelands-House-Resort-Muskoka.h19245331.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Faro (FAO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/fao/toronto-to-faro) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yyz/calgary-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/ist/ottawa-to-istanbul) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Sydney (SYD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/syd/edmonton-to-sydney) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) ### Packages > [Ixtapa Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Ixtapa.d4176.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Bora Bora Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Bora-Bora.d602861.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal.dx178288)
