THE 19-bedroom, four red-star Rampsbeck Hotel on Ullswater has been acquired by Another Place, the new hotel collection from the team behind Cornwall’s Watergate Bay Hotel.

Will Ashworth, founder of Another Place and managing director of the Watergate Bay Hotel, said: “We are very excited by the opportunity at Rampsbeck. The hotel is in great hands under the guidance of general manager Alison Mathewson and head chef Ben Wilkinson and we are looking forward to building on their work with some of our own ideas, appealing to both current and new visitors - and always staying true to the spirit of Ullswater."
