ANOTHER PLACE HOTEL, ULLSWATER

Another Place, The Lake, comes from the team behind the equally enticing Watergate Bay hotel in Cornwall. But, overlooking Ullswater in the Lake District, it’s got a slightly cosier, more intimate vibe.

It’s the kind of getaway you can’t fully appreciate with a single night’s stay, so it’s a shame we had no time to try the wild swimming, or the fell walks suggested in the hallway.

We did have time to indulge in other pursuits – like eating. Of the two restaurants at Another Place, Living Space is more informal, serving hearty favourites throughout the day, while Rampsbeck focuses on contemporary dining. But the atmosphere in both is as relaxed as you’d want after a hard day’s climbing – or just drifting in the pool.

We tried several dishes, including duck terrine, the rump of lamb with apricot and almond and tru e pudding with corn-fed chicken. Our favourite? Hmm. Better book a return trip to double check. Visit: Another.Place
