Overview

Ullswater's finest family retreat.
Time together, and a little time apart.

This beautiful Lake District property sits directly on the shores of Ullswater, one of the region's most beautiful lakes. This hotel understands that the ultimate family holiday combines time together and a little time apart.

While Another Place provides excellent support for children from six months with pre-stocked baby equipment and flexible childcare options, it wraps all of this into a perfect blend of adventure and luxury. The adults-only spa is fronted by large glass windows that frame the stunning lakeside setting, while a range of watersports, woodland walks, and stargazing opportunities let the whole family soak up the exceptional outdoors.

This is genuinely one for the whole family. The Brackenrigg Inn, one of the hotel's own restaurants, is dog-friendly and offers a three-course children's menu from 6pm.
