Macdonald Leeming House

About Macdonald Leeming House

Macdonald Leeming House suits travellers after a quieter Lake District break rather than a city-style hotel stay: walkers wanting a comfortable base, families who need space to spread out, and dog owners, since pets are welcome throughout. Set on the A592 at Ullswater, the hotel has gardens and grounds looking out to the surrounding mountains, with a picnic area and outdoor seating for taking in the views when the weather allows.

The 41 rooms are en-suite, with family rooms available and drinks in the room as standard; some look over the garden, others towards the fells. Guests have a restaurant and bar on site, breakfast and kids' meals, room service, packed lunches for a day's walking, and laundry and luggage storage for longer stays. Business services and meeting rooms are also available, so the hotel handles small work gatherings as well as leisure breaks. Free on-site parking and an electric vehicle charge point cover practical needs, and a concierge is on hand for local advice.

Beyond the grounds there is plenty to fill the days: walking and cycling routes, fishing, horse riding, golf and watersports nearby, along with pubs and restaurants a short trip away. It is a straightforward, well-equipped choice for exploring Ullswater and the wider Lake District at a relaxed pace.
