Macdonald Leeming House
Rural Hotel
Our Rating
8.4
Macdonald Leeming House, a graceful Regency house overlooking the serene waters of Ullswater, offers a peaceful retreat amid the majestic Cumbrian Fells.
This elegant hotel blends traditional charm with refined comfort, providing an ideal base for exploring the Lake District's natural beauty, historic sites, and scenic wonders in one of England's most inspiring landscapes.
The en-suite bedrooms are decorated in a timeless traditional style, featuring flat-screen TVs, seating areas, and thoughtful amenities—many with private balconies commanding breathtaking lake views that enhance every moment of relaxation and rejuvenation.
The Regency Restaurant serves modern British cuisine in sophisticated surroundings, while the conservatory and terrace provide a relaxed setting for informal lunches and dinners, allowing guests to savour exceptional meals with stunning views of the lake and fells.
Set within 22 acres of grounds, the hotel invites leisurely croquet on the lawn, private fishing on the river, or quiet reflection in the drawing room, library, and sitting rooms warmed by log fires in winter. A private helipad adds an extra touch of exclusivity for those arriving by air.
Macdonald Leeming House is conveniently located just a 15-minute drive from the M6 motorway, 7.5 miles from Penrith, and 3 miles from Aira Force—the waterfall immortalised by Wordsworth—making it a perfect gateway to the Lake District's trails, lakes, and timeless countryside charm.
