Reviews for Leeming House, Watermillock, Penrith, Cumbria, CA11 0JJ

Excellent location. Rooms need refreshing. Based on stiff competition at other hotels needs some attention to draw us to consider rebooking

An enjoyable stay with lovely staff and we would return in the future. However, there are some comments regarding our room that I would wish to mention. The majority of rooms had a balcony or outside space with a lake and mountain view. Our room had a view of the car park. The room was a good size. It was obviously meant for disabled people with two red cords in the bathroom and one over the bed, and additional handles and bar supports. There was a locked adjoining room. From this adjoining room we could here the occupant speaking quite clearly. He was on his phone until after midnight when we were trying to sleep, and again we could hear almost every word. Poor sound proofing !!

We both had an excellent stay in this comfortable country house hotel. We stayed here, maybe, 20 years ago and remembered it well. The room was comfortable and very clean, with the restaurant serving good food and all staff being very friendly and helpful. There were two downsides to our stay, one being the price of drinks at the bar. You don't expect to pay Weatherspoons prices in such a nice hotel but over 19 for two single gin and tonics was a bit much, needless to say we didn't buy anymore on principle. The second downside was that alternative breakfasts to a full English breakfast i.e. Eggs Benidict, were incurring a 6 supplement, there seemed to be no sense in paying more for a breakfast that takes less time to prepare. Obviously Mc Donalds are trying to get extra anyway they can but this pricing policy does take the edge off a nice stay.

Only downside was evening meal. Food could have been better. Poor flavours. Service from staff in restaurant was excellent
