The Sharrow Bay Hotel Ullswater is one of the UK’s most famous and most enviably situated hotels. It sits majestically on the shores of Ullswater in the Lake District, offering panoramic views across the lake with a dramatic backdrop of the Cumbrian fells. Sharrow Bay is the archetypal countryside retreat, offering a magical blend of rural seclusion, breathtaking vistas, elegant sumptuous accommodation and some of the finest cuisine to be found anywhere in the UK. As a Relais & Chateaux property, Sharrow Bay Country House Hotel offers fine living of the very highest order, with an air of refinement and distinction that is rarely, if ever, found in a hotel these days.

The main house dates from 1840, and was used as a private residence until 1948. With great determination, Sharrow Bay Hotel Ullswater was opened in the spring of 1949 and became England’s very first country house hotel. Over the following decades the hotel grew in stature and reputation, becoming widely regarded as one of England’s finest country retreats. It still is of course, especially following a programme of sophicated renovation and redevelopment. These developments have not changed the hotel’s essential character and charm, merely enhanced its already impeccable standards of luxury, quality and attention to detail.

The Lake District National Park contains some of England’s most beloved and unspoilt scenery; with rugged peaks, swooping valleys and great expanses of lakes, as well as bleak yet romantic fells presenting irresistible to those who like a challenge. With its 12 acres of grounds sloping down to the shores of Ullswater, Sharrow Bay Country House Hotel is a superbly relaxing venue, but should guests feel the urge to partake in something a little more invigorating, swimming, boating, fishing and shooting parties can be arranged. Sharrow Bay is the perfect base from which to explore the Lake District, with all of its romantic scenery, world-renowned attractions and unique towns and villages. However, should you prefer a more tranquil, secluded setting away from the stresses and strains of today’s hectic schedules, you will find that Sharrow Bay Hotel Ullswater fulfils that role with equal aplomb.
