Beautifully kept historic house. Excellent friendly service. A pure pleasure to sit in the lounge and feel what it must have been like to be landed gentry 150 years ago. A lovely walk to be had around the extensive grounds.

Stephen and his team were charming and very welcoming. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds and the rooms and facilities are first class. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the finishing touches (fresh flowers, homemade shortbread and Adrian's liqueur left as a nightcap) were delightful. Breakfast (included in the cost of the room) is not to be missed. Would definitely recommend.

Overwater Hall is a small, quiet and VERY comfortable hotel. Food is absolutely FABULOUS! Staff are discreet and courteous. You do need to drive to get to walks and or shopping but that is a small price to pay for staying at a top class hotel!

Myself and my wife had a lovely 2 night stay in Overwater Hall. The hotel is fabulous with excellent spacious rooms, very much a luxury experience. Steven looked after us very well throughout our stay. The hotel is remotely located but in an area of stunning beauty and only a short drive to Bassenthwaite Lake and the Lakes Distillery. The highlight of our stay was without doubt the food which was exceptional, Michelin star level in my opinion. Dinner each evening and breakfast in the morning was of the highest standard. I would highly recommend Overwater Hall for any couple looking for a nice relaxing break with amazing food in a beautiful area of the Lake District.

A traditional country house style hotel. Very comfortable lounges and bar. Nice dining room. Our bedroom was traditionally decorated. The bathroom was enormous and lovely. The bed was a Queen size and comfortable. There were nice extras such as a homemade fruit liqueur night cap, fresh fruit and dressing gowns in the room. The evening meal (£50 for 5 courses) was some of best food we’ve had in a long while. It was imaginative and perfectly cooked. The breakfasts were good except when I got some prunes and figs in syrup that hadn’t been pre-soaked - but if that’s all I can complain about then the stay certainly wasn’t bad!! Lovely walking country.

My partner referred to the hotel as 'luxury accomodation' for the elderly. At mid-30s we were the youngest guests by at least 30 years. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere and the rooms are very dated and tired. The food was good, dinner and breakfast was great. The hotel is pet friendly and I managed to get dog poo on my hand from the front door handle on the way out one day...not the most pleasant experience. Service and price was fair. If you are over 60 and don't mind a drive to the lakes (45 minutes) then it would be fine.

Overwater Hall met and exceeded all expectations. Can't say enough about every aspect of our wonderful stay. Just awesome!

My wife and I stayed for just one night in a room with a mountain view. The room was decorated in a traditional country house fashion and was very clean and comfortable. We were welcomed upon our arrival by the owner who was attentive throughout our stay, as was all the staff. At first, there was an over-abundance of deference and I really wanted the staff to 'unbutton' a bit and let their own personalities shine through. Eventually, they relaxed as they got to know us and we all got on fine. We ate in the restaurant and the food was really excellent. There was a fixed price menu at £45 pp; however, the selections on the menu were wide enough to suit any palate, and every course (there were 4) was cooked to perfection. The hotel itself is situated in 18 acres of beautiful grounds and has stunning views to the mountains. It is hidden away from the busier routes and, if you're looking for a quiet getaway with high standards and excellent food, I would recommend giving this a try.
