Another Place, The Lake
A relaxed, design led hotel on the shore of Ullswater, where exclusive use buys the whole lakeside for a wedding that feels like a long weekend with friends rather than a formal function.
Another Place sits in 18 acres on the quieter western reach of Ullswater, with direct access to the water and a glass walled swimming pool that looks straight out over the lake. It is one of the more contemporary places to marry in the Lake District, easy in mood and built for couples who want their guests swimming, paddleboarding and walking between the toasts.
It is a small hotel rather than a grand estate, so it suits an intimate to mid sized wedding taken over for exclusive use, not a vast guest list. For the right couple that is precisely the appeal.
Another Place, The Lake is a 47 bedroom hotel on the shore of Ullswater at Watermillock in the Lake District. It is licensed for ceremonies and is most often taken for exclusive use, which gives a couple the whole hotel and grounds, sleeps up to around 100 guests and seats up to around 80 for a ceremony, with a marquee an option for larger numbers. Exclusive use is indicatively from around GBP 25,000 per night in 2026, with a minimum two night stay. It suits a relaxed, active, intimate to mid sized celebration. Confirm capacity, the current rate and ceremony licensing directly with the hotel.
A lakeshore hotel built for a relaxed weekend.
Another Place is a country house turned contemporary hotel on the western shore of Ullswater, the second largest lake in the Lake District and, for many, the most beautiful. The 18 acres of grounds run down to a private stretch of shore, so guests can swim in the lake, take out a paddleboard or kayak, or simply walk the water's edge between the ceremony and dinner. The glass fronted indoor pool, looking out over the lake, is one of the hotel's signatures and a memorable spot for guests during the celebration.
Inside, the style is informal and modern rather than chintz and chandeliers. There are 47 bedrooms across the main house and the newer wing, and the public rooms and restaurant carry the same easy, design led feel. For a wedding this sets a particular tone, more gathering than gala, which is exactly why couples who want their friends and family relaxed and outdoors choose it.
The hotel is licensed for ceremonies and most weddings here take the property for exclusive use, which gives you the whole hotel, the restaurant, the grounds and the shore. Exclusive use sleeps up to around 100 guests across the bedrooms and seats up to around 80 in the restaurant for a wedding breakfast, with the option to bring in a marquee on the grounds for larger numbers. Confirm the exact figures and the current licensing for your date with the hotel.
As an indicative 2026 guide, exclusive use of Another Place starts from around GBP 25,000 per night, taken on a minimum two night stay, so the final figure is shaped by the season, the number of nights and your guest count. Catering, drinks and any marquee or production are additional, so treat every figure as a starting point and confirm a full quote directly with the hotel.
