Life here revolves around the water, from morning swims off the private jetty to evenings beside open lounge fires.
“Right on the shores of Ullswater, Another Place has bright and bold bedrooms or cosy, country-style shepherd’s huts.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Private lake frontage on Ullswater with guided wild swims and lakeshore watersports.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
This is a wellness-focused, activity-oriented, dare we say youthful hotel, the likes of which the Lake District has not yet seen.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Trails climb straight into the fells from the grounds, and the traditional Brackenrigg Inn sits just up the hill.
The rooms
Handcrafted shepherd huts have copper baths and skylights set directly over the beds for stargazing.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 20-metre indoor pool uses ultraviolet filtration, with slate flagstones and glass walls looking across the fells.
Sauna and hot tub
A timber sauna sits on the lakeshore, and a terrace hot tub looks out across the fells.
The spa and gym
Treatment rooms and a snug host body wraps and facials. A separate cardio room provides Matrix equipment and weights.
Bar
The Living Space
Deep sofas fill this lakeside lounge, where doors open onto the terrace for craft gins and sharing plates.
Nestled on the shores of England’s second largest lake lies boutique hotel Another Place. It’s an idyllic place to make the most of Ullswater.
At the table
Rampsbeck Restaurant serves seasonal Cumbrian dinners overlooking the water. In the garden, a Victorian glasshouse bakes wood-fired pizzas.
How it began
The team behind Cornwall's Watergate Bay Hotel bought the 18th-century country house in 2015 to launch Another Place.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
