Another Place, The Lake, Ullswater, Lake District

If you're looking for an active, Swallows and Amazons style adventure in the glorious Lake District, this is your place. From raft-building to campfire cooking and from bushcraft activities to watersports on Ullswater, there's so much to do you'll never have an 'I'm bored' moment to contend with.

From the same firm behind the highly sought-after Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall, Another Place perfectly blends the great outdoors with the fabulous indoors, including a pool, a kids' zone and treatment rooms. 

With just 40 bedrooms, this is quite an intimate place, offering options sleeping up to six amongst its range of rooms and suites, plus cottages where you can enjoy the best of hotel facilities along with the privacy of a holiday home.

Another Place, The Lake caters perfectly for babies to teens, as well as to parents and grandparents. Childcare is available for newborns through to 12 year olds, with operating slots during both term time and the school holidays. And the evening childcare is a bonus if you want to enjoy a tranquil meal or stroll around the grounds while the kids are safely tucked-up or cared for by qualified staff.
