History of the Macdonald Leeming House, Ullswater

The Macdonald Leeming House has been the country home for several families but enjoys a much coveted situation and remains today a highly individual hotel nestling in 20 acres of grounds leading down to the shore of Ullswater and offering very high standards of hospitality and cuisine.

Secluded is the perfect word to describe the Macdonald Leeming, the house being elevated some 60 feet above the shore line of Ullswater and commanding a superb position with a south/south easterly aspect over the lake and to the fells beyond. Who had the vision to build the house and surround it with so much beautiful gardens and woodland?
