Sharrow Bay, One of the World's 10 Best Lakeside Hotels

Sharrow Bay, One of the World's 10 Best Lakeside Hotels
Sumptuous levels of hospitality are provided for guests, with informal and fine-dining options, a great wine cellar plus the skills of Head, and Master Sommeliers to call upon, the most famous Afternoon Tea in the lakes.

If gazing at the view inspires you to experience it, the hotel can call upon local skills and knowledge to introduce you to the infinite variety of activities available from your doorstep, lakeshore and jetty. From easy slopes with far reaching views in the North, to the concentrated and challenging spectacular glacial landscapes at the South, the Eastern Ullswater fells are still surprisingly secretive and relatively undiscovered. The new Ullswater Way skirts their feet and only hints at their timeless valleys that abound with an unmatched diversity of wildlife.

The natural grandeur can be matched by the culture it inspired, from Wordsworth's Daffodils to Prehistoric Henges, warring border mansion-fortresses to Roman roads. No wonder the National Park consider all this worthy of World Heritage Status.
