Overwater Hall

About this place

Tucked in peaceful parkland between Bassenthwaite Lake, Skiddaw and the Uldale Fells, Overwater Hall is a classic country house hotel with period character, polished service and a quietly luxurious feel.

Bedrooms blend antique furniture with modern comforts, many with garden or fell views, making this a favourite for celebrations and relaxed, grown-up escapes.
