Overview
Another Place Lakes is an exciting new 40-bedroom hotel, created by converting the existing Ramsbeck Hotel and building a significant extension. The position boasts a spectacular location on the Ullswater Lake front, amid the breath-taking Cumbrian Mountains. The look and feel of the project delivers a luxury Spa experience, ideal for those looking for rest and re-invigoration, whilst also maintaining easy access to the countryside, something that many who wish to get back to nature come to the Lake District to achieve.
The Hotel combines innovation, classic grandeur and sustainability, something that has been scrutinised from inception and during every stage of the design and build process. Both internally and externally, the Hotel uses locally sourced materials to stay in keeping with and reflect the natural location, such as the distinctive Cumbrian slate roofs.
In combination with the comfortable front of house spaces [Living Space lounge; brasserie restaurant; bar; library/lounge; terrace] and first class facilities in the Swim Club [20-metre indoor pool & hot tub; sauna; cardio/treatment rooms etc.], the grounds and Lakeside vistas will ensure that Another Place Lakes becomes a leading destination for rest, relaxation, eating and drinking, weddings and events.
The Another Place Lakes client is a repeat customer with We Are Ease, having commissioned us to work with them on a number of major projects to date and look set to do more in the future. With a team of 5 site-based We Are Ease project delivery personnel, we are on schedule to achieve this ambitious project to hit the Summer 2017 opening milestone. We Are Ease will continue to provide services at the project site, post contract, closing out packages and completing snagging and correcting defects, 12 months after the end of the project.
