A Cumbrian Inn in Ullswater has been tipped to be one of the most 'exciting' hotel prospects in the UK for 2024.

From countryside inns to dynamic city boltholes, several incredible inclusions set them apart from the crowd.

If you want to start planning a UK break this year, then perhaps try this Lake District resort that won't be too far from home.

'Exciting' Cumbrian inn

The i recently published a list of the top 17 most exciting hotels opening in the UK this year, this is what they had to say about Cumbria's offering: "'Another Place', the fledgling hotel collection started by the team behind Cornwall’s Watergate Bay Hotel, is expanding its Ullswater resort with the addition of this inn, five minutes walk away.

"It will offer guests access to Another Place’s facilities (pool, kids’ club, watersports, restaurants), with lake views and a relaxed ambience.

"Food will focus on Cumbrian produce, and there are plans for kitchen gardens, an events meadow and a microbrewery. Opening April, doubles from £180 B&B."

The Brackenrigg Inn and Brewery

The Brackenrigg Inn and Brewery, in Ullswater, was sold for £2.1million to hotel group Another Place in April 2023. 

On January 2, 2024 the pub confirmed on Facebook that it would be closed until April 22 as it begins a renovation process. 

The post read: "We're giving our local pub, The Brackenrigg Inn, a new lease of life in spring 2024.

"Armchairs by the fire; cold beers on the sunny lake-view terrace. Reliving the day’s adventures; poring over maps to plan tomorrow; sharing routes and insider knowledge at the bar… And with seven ensuite rooms, meadows and expansive views across the lake and fells, locals and walkers alike can expect a warm welcome.

"Our friends at Another Place hotels, just a short walk down the hill, took over The Brackenrigg last year.

"It's now closed for a few months while we renovate ready to open on April 22, when it will be part of the Another Place family.

"Guests staying at The Brackenrigg will have full use of everything on offer at Another Place including the swimming pool, lake sports sessions, Kids’ Zone and three restaurants. We’re taking bookings from April 22, 2024."
