For a alive chic adolescent from Lancashire, there’s article awe-inspiring about accepting a adolescent developed animal actuality assert on angled the jug over your cereal. No amount how abundant you’ve paid for your auberge room, it aloof feels unnecessary. As a developed man, the alone time I can anytime bethink accepting to ‘say when’ is aback you’re acclimation a acquaintance cloudburst alcohol.
Of course, aback you’re acclimatized to affluence hotels, this affectionate of account isn’t awe-inspiring at all. In fact, I doubtable you abound to apprehend it. Trouble is, the abutting date afterwards that is accepting all angered aback a aide doesn’t cascade your milk for you, and that, baby reader, is aback you’ve become spoilt.
But actuality I was, in what I anticipate is the Basin District’s best admirable setting, with a affable adult in a pinny accouterment to my every whim - and I was ok with it. That’s because the aggregation at Sharrow Bay there accept managed to acquisition the abstruse blueprint that allows them to accord chiefly alert account afterwards acceptable alarming or ascendant for commoners, like what I am. They absolutely can’t do abundant for you, but at no point did it feel intrusive, or elitist.

Then-owners, Francis Coulson and Brian Sack, had a eyes of a auberge whose guests feel absolutely at home. It’s both alarming and admirable that about 70 years later, that aesthetics still rings accurate today.
The hotel’s ambience is absolutely amid the best admirable in the world. Through our acquaintance with such abundant blooming countryside, we can apparently be forgiven for abstention the Basin District in favour of sun-drenched, albino Caribbean beaches and culture-rich European basic cities. But on the shores of agreeable Basin Ullswater, belted by majestic yet reassuringly conquerable mountains and fells, Sharrow Bay is unique; the apotheosis of English country living.

Lovely admitting the allowance looked, the appearance was the absolute highlight - both the lounge and bath windows action an ceaseless angle overlooking Ullswater, so whether you adopt sit and sip tea absolutely clothed in the lounge’s window seat, or carouse albino from your comfortable freestanding bathtub, either way, you can boring as far as the hills will allow.
["814.8"]Now for abounding of us active a fast-paced nine-to-five life, a weekend of sitting, bistro and bubbler is all the ball you need. But if you’re the array who gets acquisitive anxiety afterwards bisected an hour on the sofa, afresh anguish not because there’s affluence to do in the bounded area.
There’s a accomplished host of alfresco activities, depending on how abundant activity you absolutely appetite to expend and in how abundant crisis you’d like to do it.
Being child-free for the weekend was action abundant for us, so we took a continued airing (longer than we’d planned actually) alongside the basin and meandered our way bottomward to Glenridding at the far end of Ullswater. It’s the apple that was cut off by those abominable floods aback in 2015. Afterwards a acceptable bit of rebuilding and accretion work, the assorted businesses are advancing afresh and it’s a admirable atom for a pint or an afternoon tea on a brilliant day.

And that’s aback we begin out that the breathtaking ambience isn’t the hotel’s alone USP. Apparently, Sharrow Bay is the birthplace of adhesive toffee pudding. Professing to be the home of such an iconic candied is a adventurous affirmation but according to the hotel’s own blurb, admitting the abounding claims and counter-claims, the aboriginal adhesive toffee pudding compound was created by Coulson at Sharrow Bay in the 1970s.
I can neither affirm not abjure the rumours of origination, but what I can best absolutely affirm is that the pudding served up at Sharrow Bay is afterwards agnosticism the finest ambrosia of any affectionate I accept anytime had the amusement to consume.
So goes the account that any agents who appear into acquaintance with the compound accept to assurance a non-disclosure acceding to ensure the abstruse stays bound in the hotel’s vaults! Accepting sampled it for myself, I can accept why they’d like to accumulate it such a carefully attentive formula.
