A STUNNING lakeside hotel featuring a pool with unbeatable views across Ullswater is now open for business after a £3.5m facelift.

Another Place, The Lake is the first of the new hotel collection from the group behind the Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall.

It has been developed by Will Ashworth who also owns the Watergate Bay Hotel, as a centre for "active relaxation."

On the shores of Ullswater and set in 18 acres of Lake District national park, Another Place has 40 bedrooms within the original Georgian building and a new contemporary wing, including a number of family suites and dog friendly rooms.

Gathering spaces are woven throughout the hotel and grounds and include a library, a cosy escape in the original Georgian building complete with fireside sofas, board games and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The grounds include formal gardens, fields, a private lakeshore, jetty and a vegetable patch. A number of paths and trails around Ullswater are also accessible from the hotel.


The Lake has two restaurants: The Living Space is a large, airy bar leading onto a terrace. Proper coffee and cocktails are served alongside a casual lunch and dinner menu.

The second, Rampsbeck restaurant, is open for breakfast and dinner and is based on a British menu featuring Cumbrian produce.

The hotel's Swim Club has a 20-metre lake-view swimming pool, outdoor hot tub, sauna, cardio room and three treatment rooms.

A spokesman said: "Another Place is a home from home. It’s all about being active, getting outdoors, then relaxing, eating and drinking well with friends and family back indoors.

"Open-water swimming, sailing, stand-up paddle boarding, cycling, walking, even skiing, allow you to explore the stunning location – a place that has shaped so much of this hotel, from the colours and textures of its interiors to the active, laidback living it inspires.

"Gathering spaces are woven throughout the hotel and grounds and include a library, a cosy escape in the original Georgian building, complete with fireside sofas, board games and floor-to-ceiling windows.

"You’ll find formal gardens, fields, a private lakeshore, jetty and a vegetable patch. A number of paths and trails around Ullswater are easily accessible from the hotel."
