Macdonald Leeming House, Watermillock, Cumbria

• Scenic surrounds: There's a high focus on finery at Macdonald Leeming House, a gracious 19th-century country manor in Ullswater – the lesser-known Lake District gem that’s most celebrated for its year-round Steamer cruises, prestigious yacht club, outdoorsy pursuits, and all-out scenic splendour. Nestled among 22 acres of landscaped gardens and woodlands on the shores of Lake Ullswater, the hotel's chic set-up is made to impress.

• A luxurious stay: It’s not just about the vintage-luxe design - the hotel is also home to a tempting restaurant, lovely lounges for light bites and afternoon teas, and an excellent staff service – all making for a most inviting country escape.

• Sister spa: While there is no on-site spa, guests may use the pool, spa and gym at the property’s nearby sister hotel – Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa – on Lake Windermere, where you'll find soothing facilities and plenty of indulgent treatments on offer.
