Overwater Hall in Lancaster

Can't wait to return. Excellent hosts and staff. Such a calming, welcoming place. Amazing food too.

This amazing hotel is tucked away near Bassenthwaite. Great location with gardens all around. Only a dozen rooms so feels very special and the owners do an amazing job of making you feel really welcome. Rooms are full of character, large with huge bathrooms and beds. The food is on another level, cannot recommend highly enough. The chef can adapt most dishes to be gluten free too and it’s a real treat for anyone in the area. Cannot recommend enough.

Overwater Hall is our new favourite dining location in the north lakes. Tried so many and this beats the Michelin guides top rated and AAs in the area. Food was amazing. You know exactly what your eating and there's no weird foam or pointless things. It's just flavour and nourishment and beautifully presented. Loved the ambience of the place too and the service. When you arrive you get the door opened for you, a welcome and led to the lounge for drinks and amuse bouche and then to the dining room. And then after retire to the lounge again for coffee and Petit fours. The staff and owners clearly take pride in what they offer and so they should. It's a true gem..

We did not stay at this hotel, but visit whenever we come to Cumbria it is on the top of my Itinerary to Visit!. The Service and food is fine dining at it's best.Mix that with a beautiful location!! Some one will open the door for you and welcome you in to the drawing room for pre dinner drinks and a chance to sit by the fire and to peruse the wine and food menu. A small plate of Amuse-Bouch is brought and from, that moment you know, that your palate is in for a real treat!! I could go on, but I always enjoy Overwater Hotel and would highly recommend it!!..my food in picture attached ..just a snippet of the menu!!

Overwater Hall Hotel is simply a very special place. I can’t help but relax from the moment we turn into the driveway. This is a place to come when your mind and body need nourishing. From the comfort of the furniture (you really can curl up in a chair and read all day while someone brings you trays of tea, coffee, lunchtime sandwiches) to the celebration of the evening meals - outstanding cuisine, beautifully presented and served by such lovely people.This is a little oasis from which you can recover from ‘life’ and then use as a base to adventure in Cumbria’s beautiful countryside.Dogs are welcome. Humans are cosseted! Can’t recommend highly enough ♥️

Lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings . When I visited masses of snowdrops out . Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea watching birds at a feeder and a red squirrel came to feed.

Another outstanding visit. The service, food and accommodation were all superb. I really enjoy visiting Overwater Hall.

Yet another enjoyable stay. Been coming here on and off for the last 19 years. Excellent food, and peace and tranquility. Spotted several red squirrels.

Our favourite hotel. Always a wonderful stay with individual rooms, huge bathrooms, fabulous and beautifully presented food, and the owners and all the staff are lovely. Almost like going to a private country house, not a soulless chain and no reception desk. Love it.

This was a superb weekend away. What a treat. The welcome, the ambience, the cosiness and most of all the food were all first class. Lovely people, a lovely place - we will definitely be booking bro be there in 2021. Thanks Adrian and Angela for a wonderful birthday weekend.
