Was Gäste sagen

Reisende beschreiben das Macdonald Leeming House als ein friedliches Hotel am See mit wunderschöner Aussicht auf Ullswater und freundlichem Personal, weisen aber auch auf veraltete Bereiche und ein uneinheitliches Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bei Speisen und Getränken hin. Das Ergebnis ist ein charmierter Aufenthalt mit gewissen Kompromissen.

Viele genießen geräumige Zimmer und Balkone mit Seeblick, obwohl die Einrichtung an manchen Stellen abgenutzt wirken und gelegentlich Wartungsprobleme oder muffige Gerüche gemeldet werden. Das Frühstück erhält häufig Lob, aber das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis beim Abendessen und in der Bar wird als inkonsistent empfunden, wobei manche Portionen als klein und die Preise als hoch empfinden. Umfangreiche Gärten führen direkt zum See und das Hotel ist haustierfreundlich, jedoch gibt es keinen Pool im Hotel selbst. Am besten geeignet für naturbetonte, entspannte Aufenthalte und nicht für Aufenthalte mit vielen Annehmlichkeiten.

Great location. Friendly staff. Nice bathroom. Comfortable bed. Good food. There was no fridge in the room. Though the hotel room had strong musty smell. Windows had mould. The exterior paintwork was peeling off. No swimming pool.

Amazing in every way possible. Room was amazing and the view was spectacular of Ullswater Lake. Thoroughly enjoyed stopping for night on our way to Glasgow. Would definitely come back again. The breakfast was so good. And the bed was way too comfy. Private footpath to the lake.

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.

Overall lovely stay! 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. But apart from that no issues.

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.

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.

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.

Overall the stay was good. 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.

Very welcoming and friendly staff, there was a small problem with the original room which couldn’t be fixed, but the staff were excellent and immediately moved us into a nearby room as a complimentary upgrade. Handled very professionally and the same staff member checked in with us later in our stay. The hotel itself is lovely, impressive building in a stunning location, with excellent views from the room we stayed in and from the lounge/restaurant

The hotel, gardens and location were superb, as was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The reason that this was not a 5 star review was due to the fact that the evening meal was both average and expensive - as were the bar prices. £22 for a glass of Rose and a rum and coke are central London prices, which was disappointing. The breakfast was fine.
