Overwater Hall, Wigton

Angela, Adrian and I bought Overwater Hall in 1992 - our dream hotel in a quiet, unspoilt part of the northern Lake District and we are now in our 16th year of family ownership. Whatever the reason for your stay - a walking break with your dog, to view the ospreys, or simply to relax and be pampered in a very special part of the world - please pick up the phone and call us. One of us is always on hand to answer your questions and to help you arrange the details of your stay with us, personally.

Going "green": as hoteliers living and working in an environmentally sensitive area, we are committed to minimising our impact on the environment.

Set in eighteen acres of gardens and woodland, Overwater Hall is an elegant, Grade 2 listed Georgian mansion, parts of it dating back to the 1780s. Flanked by dramatic Skiddaw and its surrounding fells, this is a country house hotel in the true sense of the word. One of the principal mansions in the area, the Hall has been designated as a building of Architectural and Historic interest.

The hotel is family run and cared for, and the relaxed and friendly atmosphere that pervades it makes it a home from home.

Quality service and genuine hospitality assure you of a real break from today's busy world.

Now in our sixteenth year, your hosts, Stephen Bore, and Angela and Adrian Hyde, warmly welcome you as their guests.

Major refurbishment in 2004 and 2005 has given the ground floor a completely new look. We are gradually refurbishing our bedrooms to make them all "superior" rooms with luxurious bathrooms, and building work in 2005 gave us a ground floor bedroom for the first time.

Please note that in line with new government legislation, Overwater Hall is a non-smoking hotel.

A note to dog owners: dogs are very welcome here, and at no extra charge - we even have a lounge area for you to sit with your dog, and of course our grounds are always open for you and your dog to enjoy.
