A LAKE District hotel has been named as Family Hotel of the Year for 2023 by the Times and Sunday Times.

Another Place, The Lake – on the shores of Ullswater, Cumbria – is thrilled to have been named ‘Family Hotel of the Year’ in the coveted Times and Sunday Times Best Places to Stay 2023 list.

Susan D’Arcy, Hotels Editor of The Sunday Times said:“Another Place has been a breath of fresh air since it opened in 2017…weatherproof[ing] Lake District holidays."

The contemporary 47-bedroom hotel is set in 18 acres of Lake District National Park, with a private lakeshore and views over Ullswater and the fells. It’s the ideal place to explore the wilderness, swim beneath a full moon, eat and drink well, relax and have a good time.

Earning its title of Family Hotel of the Year, Another Place has an Ofsted-registered Kids’ Zone offering supervised sessions, forest school outdoor sessions, games room access and baby monitors – all included as part of guests’ stays, with babysitting as an optional extra. There’s also a substantial collection of children’s books and boardgames in the library.

A host of experienced instructors teach family activities on the lake, from kayaking trips to stand-up paddleboarding, and open water swimming for all abilities. Inside, a 20-metre pool looks straight out to the fells and sky.

This year, Another Place teamed up with local artist Sarah Taylor, to exhibit outdoor artwork for guests and visitors to find among the hotel’s shoreside gardens, meadows and treescapes.

"To be named as Family Hotel of the Year is a real credit to our team, and the quality experience they work tirelessly to provide.

"We’re so proud to achieve such a respected accolade.” Find out more about Another Place, The Lake www.another.place
