About Macdonald Leeming House

Macdonald Leeming House stands in extensive grounds at Watermillock overlooking Ullswater and the surrounding fells. The Regency house has a traditional country-hotel feel, with lounges, a conservatory, terrace and restaurant, while the grounds support slower pursuits such as croquet and private fishing. Its location on the quieter eastern side of Ullswater makes it a good base for exploring Pooley Bridge, Aira Force, Glenridding and the wider Eden Valley without staying in a busy village centre. Some rooms offer lake views, making room selection worth considering when booking.

Before you book: room types, dining times, spa access, pet policies, parking arrangements and package inclusions can change. Check the current property and Booking.com terms for your dates before travelling.

The Cumbria Guru verdict

Our local note

A classic Ullswater country-house option for travellers who want space, grounds and lake scenery rather than a village-centre stay.
