Another Place The Lake, Exclusive Hire

Lovely welcoming place to stay. We only stayed 1 night and wished we had booked for more. The room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was tasty with good quality produce.

This is in a great location in terms of being near the Ullswater lake with mesmerizing lake and mountains/hill view. The room was very beautiful and clean, and we loved the view from the balcony, although we did want the family shepherd’s hut but it wasn’t available at the time of booking. Nevertheless we loved the accommodation, it was big to fit 4 people. It was also a lovely and warm feeling to have the added touches and treats in the room as welcomed. The staff were very helpful and friendly, a lovely gentleman helped us and took our luggage to our room. The place itself is absolutely beautiful, relaxing and calm, very aesthetic with amazing lake views and grass area. You can have a swim in the lake, with natural beauty surrounding. There is a sheep shed with swim suits available for free and changing facilities with showers. They also have a good range of water sports available There are few things that need improvement Although the room was nice, It never had mixer taps in the basin, needs updating. one of adult twin bed had mattress topper and the other never had a mattress topper so my daughter never got a comfortable night sleep due to the terrible uncomfortable cheap mattress. The breakfast wasn’t great either, it was a buffet, not a lot of options available. We had the traditional vegetarian breakfast which also wasn’t warm. The waffle was the only thing we enjoyed a little, could do with more warmer options. The service in the breakfast room wasn’t great either. The variety and options of food is not good in the restaurants, hence we decided to eat out for lunch and dinner, which was also inconvenient as we didn’t have a car. We did try the pizza in the glass house, which tasted nice and fresh and wasn’t bad in terms of price or quality. The swimming pool and spa is too exposed and no privacy as it’s glass all around. I get it the view from the pool is fantastic but there has to be another way around this to balance it out. The timetable is absolutely ridiculous, that needs to be looked into. Women’s only pool or women’s only time slot would greatly facilitate and meet the needs of those that wanted this and highly benefit the hotel . The sheep shed only has one shower. This place would definitely benefit from a taxi service and guide tour as the bus and taxi service in penrith is terrible, so facilitating this kind of service would definitely give a better experience. Although we visited off peak, it was expensive. The package was overpriced taking into consideration all the facilities, the food, and the cheap mattresses. We found the food and stay was much better in another hotel, where we stayed after, at almost half the price, compared to this.
