Expert Guidance

Common questions about navigating the Lake District's premier wellness retreats.

What is the Swim Club at Another Place, The Lake?

The Swim Club is Another Place, The Lake's take on a spa, designed around active relaxation rather than traditional thermal experiences. At its heart is a stunning 20 metre indoor pool with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and views across Ullswater to the fells beyond. The pool uses ultra violet filtered, low chlorine water and includes a shallow area for children.

Beyond the pool, the Swim Club includes an outdoor Swedish style hot tub overlooking the grounds, a sauna with lake views, treatment rooms offering massages and facials, and a cardio room with running machines. The hot tub and sauna are for guests aged 16 and over only. While it lacks the extensive thermal suite found at destination spas, the Swim Club offers a more casual, activity focused approach that complements the hotel's outdoor lifestyle positioning.

For details on what's included, see the pool and facilities section.

How much does a spa day cost at Another Place, The Lake?

Day membership at Another Place, The Lake Swim Club starts from £110 per person with the Day Membership with Treatment. This includes full day access to the 20 metre lake view pool, outdoor hot tub, sauna, and cardio room, plus a 60 minutes treatment of your choice. For £120 per person, you can add a one course lunch in the hotel restaurant with the Day Membership with Treatment & Lunch.

If you're looking for a shorter experience, the Evening Swim Club package offers access from 6pm with a three course dinner in Rampsbeck Restaurant for £55 to £60 per person (available Sunday to Thursday outside school holidays). Day membership is subject to availability and booking is required in advance.

For locals, Another Place, The Lake also offers limited 6 and 12 month memberships giving ongoing access to the pool, hot tub, sauna, and cardio room. View all day pass options or book directly.

Is Swim Club access included with my room at Another Place, The Lake?

Yes, Swim Club access is complimentary for all hotel guests at Another Place, The Lake, regardless of which room type you book. This includes the 20 metre lake view swimming pool, outdoor hot tub, sauna, and cardio room. There is no extra charge and no time limit on your access during opening hours (7am to 9pm daily).

This makes Another Place, The Lake different from some Lake District spa hotels where spa access costs extra or is only included for premium room bookings. You can even use the Swim Club facilities before your room is ready (check in is at 3pm) and after check out (11am), making the most of your visit.

Only spa treatments require separate booking and payment. The hot tub and sauna are restricted to guests aged 16 and over. For full details, see the access information section.

Can children use the Swim Club facilities at Another Place, The Lake?

Yes, children are welcome in the Swim Club pool at Another Place, The Lake during family swim times from 9am to 6pm daily. The 20 metre pool has a shallow area specifically designed for younger swimmers. However, the outdoor hot tub and sauna are restricted to guests aged 16 and over at all times for safety reasons.

For couples or adults seeking a quieter experience, dedicated adult only swim times run from 7am to 9am and 6pm to 9pm. These early morning and evening slots offer a more tranquil atmosphere without children in the pool area.

Another Place, The Lake also offers a separate Ofsted registered Kids Zone with supervised sessions, arts and crafts, campfire cooking, and outdoor activities, giving parents time to enjoy the spa while children are entertained. For adults only spa alternatives in the Lake District, browse our Spas page.

What treatments are available at Another Place, The Lake?

Another Place, The Lake Swim Club offers 18 spa treatments using land&water products, a brand developed with their sister hotel Watergate Bay in Cornwall. The signature treatment is the Fell Walkers Massage (£90, 60 minutes), designed specifically for tired legs after a day hiking in the Lake District fells. It includes a foot soak and scrub, legs wrapped in heated towels, leg and foot massage, and neck and scalp massage.

Other popular options include full body massage (£90), the land&water drench facial (£90), and The Works (£160, 120 minutes) which combines body brush, salt scrub, wrap, mini facial, and full body massage for the ultimate experience. Pregnancy safe treatments are available including adapted massage and facial options.

For couples, side by side massage or facial treatments (£170) are available in the double treatment room. Most treatments can be booked online, though The Works and 30 minute treatments require booking through guest services directly. See all treatment options.
