This hidden treasure is set in 18 acres of formal gardens and woodland with the dramatic backdrop of Skiddaw and the Uldale Fells. The hotel offers the perfect base for a truly relaxing holiday in the peaceful surroundings of the undiscovered northern Lake District. Your hosts, Stephen Bore, and Angela and Adrian Hyde, bought this magnificent Grade 2 listed Georgian country house in 1992, and have spent the past 25 years lovingly refurbishing it, paying great attention to detail, and successfully preserving the historic ambience of the house with a clever mix of traditional and contemporary style.

About Overwater Hall

On graduating, Adrian worked as a General Manager for the outside catering firm, Kennedy Brookes; Angela as Front of House Manager, firstly for Crest Hotels, then at the London Tara Hotel; and Stephen as Food & Beverage Manager with Crest Hotels, before working for Rank Hovis McDougall.
Dog Friendly
Report
Dog owners will be delighted to know that well-behaved dogs are genuinely welcome to stay at Overwater Hall at no extra charge. Dogs are welcome in bedrooms and in one of the hotel's lounges and bar - no dogs on chairs, though, please! Cumbria is a walker's paradise at any time of the year, with its spectacular scenery, fells, lakes and gardens, and for all of these reasons, your dog will love it, too. And there is no reason to even venture beyond the grounds of the hotel with its 18 acres, including our lovely woodland boardwalk.
Things to Do
Report
The local area, the Lake District, has always drawn people for holidays: its lakes, hills and mountains appealing to walkers and climbers; its rich heritage of interest to many, from stately homes and castles to Roman forts and prehistoric stone circles; and its beauty an inspiration to all, whatever the weather.
