My husband and I have previously stayed at Mcdonald hotels and have found the standards to be very good.With this in mind we booked a mid week two night break through the internet for the Leeming House Hotel.We prebooked our evening meal for the first night at the time of making our reservation,as suggested on the hotel web site. When... more

This 4* hotel is great for mature couples who are predominately looking to relax in Lake District. The hotel is located in Watermillock which is impossible to miss if your were to drive from either Pooley bridge or Glenridding. Therefore, getting to either town is quite simple from Leeming House. We were greeted with very friendly staff "Moses" who upgraded... more

The hotel location, standard of rooms, general areas, food and fine dining were all of and exceptional standard rarely found in this country. The staff were polite, sociable and extremely attentive. The hotel is not modern, but furnished to match the age of the building, very tastefully done. It is not cheap to stay or eat here but allthings considered... more

Well we think the title to this review says it all really. Thankfully my husband and I only had to pay for one nights accommodation for our two night stay as the first night was paid for using Tesco Clubcard points which was a relief as we would have complained about our stay if not. There is nothing fundamentaly wrong... more

Highly recommended. Good bedrooms, staff all highly trained, food fantastic. The only quibble is that clientele tend to be slightly elderly so there is little socialising with other guests in the evening as they have all gone to bed! Agree with another reviewer that gardens could look better, but this is only cosmetic and wouldn't stop us staying again. more

This is a well run hotel, the lady on reception was exceptionally helpful throughout our stay. The rooms are clean tidy and up to date. All food in the restaurant was superb and all nicely served. The breakfast choice was the best I have seen. The only criticism was that the gardens could have been kept a little better for... more

Just back from a brief stay at Leeming House. What a beautiful location. The warm welcome we were given at reception set the tone for our one night stay. Shortly after arrival, we enjoyed a delicious snack of club sandwiches washed down with a bottle of chablis in the comfortable lounge overlooking Ullswater. All impeccably and promptly served by a... more

We'd enjoyed a great week in Scotland and decided to break the journey on our way back home. The Lake District is our 'spritual home' and Leeming House did not disappoint. Although we know it well, we hadn't stayed around the Ullswater area before and the setting was truly beautiful (yes, even in the rain). We received a fabulous welcome... more

Absolutely delighted with both the room and the excellent staff at Leeming House. The food was wonderful. I wish I had known about Leeming House years ago. Sharrow Bay watch your backs - you have very serious competition. more

The room was lovely, spacious and quiet. The Staff were excellent. Breakfast and Dinner were outstanding, although Dinner dishes are not overly substantial and you do need 3 courses if you had a long day of hill walking. The quality of the Menu was very high. The gardens are beautiful. more
