Arrive at the property just after 6pm and even in the darkness - the grounds and house are amazing. The entrance is very welcoming and the Christmas decorations were beautiful. The reception staff so friendly and engaging with our toddler. Room had the cot set up and was a great size for the 3 of us. We had already had our evening meal, so a quick evening drink in the lounge area with friendly staff and bed for us. Morning started a bit early for us, and what a view to wake up to! - so an explore of the well maintained grounds and breath taking views of the lake and mountains. It was so peaceful and quiet - absolutely my favourite part of the day. Returned to the hotel for tasty breakfast with attentive staff.

Nothing

Had dinner in the hotel which was delicious, but a bit pricey. Breakfast was good, restaurant staff very attentive.

No staff at reception when booking in, staff arrived after about 10mins obviously very busy, doing several jobs.

Remote and quiet

Bar prices £9 for a pint of beer and £15 glass of wine

Setting is stunning. Beautiful; grounds to walk around, which slope down to the lake. The view, as you'd expect, is also exceptional - this is what makes the stay here worth trying. My advice is that you try to spend as much time in the gardens as possible .... because when you move inside your enjoyment will quickly fade to match the long since faded decorations. The restaurant staff were friendly - they are clearly putting in long hours, having been there to serve tables both at dinner and breakfast the following morning. Uniforms looked as tired as the hotel but they kept smiling regardless - they brightened up what would have otherwise have been a thoroughly terrible stay.

From the moment of arrival, it is clear the hotel is long overdue refurbishment. From the less than welcoming check-in 'welcome', to the faded paintwork, the ever present reek of long used open fireplaces, dated furniture and badly lit interiors .... the experience was a disappointment. The meal options and quality are poor - surprising given the abundance of local produce available in the immediate vicinity. It is clear the elegance that will once have been present, has long since faded. Despite this, the hotel is charging room and meal rates more representative of a well maintained, high quality venue - they are wrong to do so. We were very disappointed with our stay - we overpaid for the experience - we felt we had been robbed by the room and meal rates they charge.

The food The views The staff The room The bed Everything was great

Breakfast, Friendly staff

The hotel grounds are just lovely and nice to have private access to the lake. Staffs were really nice.

The hotel interiors are very dated and looked shabby, requires massive upgrade to bring it into the 21st century.

Location, peace, food and a complete break from a hectic life

Everything was perfect except when we checked out 2 bottle's of wine had been added to the bill. This was rectified but spoilt a perfect stay.

beautiful setting, so clean, all support teams are fabulous.

Leeming house - stunning setting and beautiful building but not value for money: We felt we’ve contributed to a historical building and grounds but we won’t be returning. It was the little things, yet so much money.

Gulley down the middle of the bed, really not acceptable at that price, a simple top mattress could solve it No Wi-Fi on 4 different machines, even next to reception, got it on one, once, then it stopped No info in room, not even the history or Ullswater steamer info Robes had broken belt loops - so the belt falls off, almost into the toilet! No welcome drink (unlike Rothay Garden) Poor coffee (£11+ compared to Inn on the Water £9.50 with biscuit) Sign in bathroom about shower curtains yet clearly a screen for years Couldn’t turn towel heater off, despite asking Had to ask for decaf teabags

Everything was perfect, from the moment you walked in, to when you left. Friendly helpful staff, fantastic rooms and views. Excellent garden and lake walk.

I think the quality of the restaurant deserved a dress code as fitting with a London style establishment.

The Hotel location over the lake with lots of wonderful views. Quite area away from the busy town.

The Hotel cost little pricey . Take 20 minutes ride to get to the town for personal items .

lakeside location and great views, attentive staff and period property

being charged £3.15 for a glass of soda water

The room was a good size with comfortable beds, pillows, duvets etc. There was also a balcony which was a bit scruffy. Lovely and quiet with lake view (bit further away than I thought). Very good night's sleep. The in-bath shower worked well enough but had a fixed head which is never really ideal. Breakfasts promised to be good and they were on 3 out of 5 mornings.

Breakfast - 2 out of 5 breakfasts did not run smoothly with toast forgotten (how can you eat poached eggs without toast?) tea request forgotten and wrong colour toast delivered. Breakfast coffee was disappointing and £5 (including service charge) for a 'barista' coffee is a bit steep. There was really no atmosphere or vibe to the hotel. Residents lounges were more like waiting rooms and lighting was generally dim. Even the open fires were not lit. Dogs seemed to be allowed in the main dining room on occasions.

Beautiful gardens; comfortable lounge

Thoughless customers care - re elderly, disabled, and those w forced to wait unnecessarily WE asked for the most accessible possibl eroom and were given one at the far end of hoetl witjh sevreal awkward staitr caes.,

Staff are so friendly and helpful. very beautiful and natural. If. you love nature, serenity and good hiking with comfort here is the place.

Cleaning has to be a top priority, not as clean as I thought. Bedding was stained and looked like it wasn’t changed 🥲. But we requested that to be cleaned and changed and they did.

The hotel was fantastic, both on location and cleanliness. The breakfast was great. Would definately go here again.

There was nothing to dislike.

how friendly the staff was and the views around the property

two single beds put together

Beautiful location and views.

Very tired and dated rooms. There was black mould in the bathroom behind the bath taps and on some tiles. Food was a bit hit and miss, even when your order was written down not everything arrived. Ridiculously expensive for standard of facilities.

Perfect location, excellent facilities, great staff and service.

Average- staff friendly

The main meal was not value for money. Very poor quality and poorly presented. I complained about this and in a good hotel there would have been a Co session in the price. We would not recommend this hotel based on food alone. A very tired hotel

Breakfast, staff and gorgeously location. Bed was also very comfy too and we had a great view

The radiator didn’t work in our room. The cold tap water took ages to run cold and when it eventually did it didn’t run clear and was cloudy in the glass so had to ask for a carafe of water for the room .
