A Weekend Away - Another Place, Lake District

Want to get some downtime without going horizontal? This Lakes getaway specialises in active relaxation

- Jacqueline Hughes-Lundy

The Lake District attracts more than 15 million visitors a year and it’s not hard to see why with its breathtaking scenery and variety of activities. This description could be as easily applied to Another Place (aside from the 15 million visitors one assumes - unless it’s doing really well). Sitting high enough on the banks of Lake Ullswater to enjoy spectacular views, this chic resort-style take on contemporary grandeur ekes out every advantage of its 18-acre parkland location and watery surrounds. Kayaking, paddle-boarding and wild swimming are all options for the more physically willing of guests. (The luxury spa caters perfectly for those at the other end of the spectrum.)
