Pros +
- We had a brilliant stay! Beautiful room with everything we needed. Delicious breakfast with plenty of choice. Best part of all was the courteous and attentive staff. Thank you!
- Great location away from much of civilisation! Very pleasant hotel and grounds. Staff very caring and attentive. Food superb.
- This is a beautiful property in a lovely setting. A satnav is a useful accessory to find it, but it is definitely worth finding! We were breaking our journey on the way home from Scotland and saw it on Booking.com. We are so pleased that we did.

Lovely location. Old school decor
Shower wasn’t great.
Overwater hall is in a very quiet location surrounded by countryside, but within easy reach of local attractions. The hall is very traditional and comfortable. The gardens are lovely, enjoyed watching the red squirrels and birds with a drink on the lawn. The food was excellent, the menu varied and all dishes beautifully presented. The staff were very friendly and offered a traditional service. They made our dog very welcome and were happy for us to eat with our dog in the bar.
There is poor WiFi access, this wasn’t so important to us as we were glad of the peace but may be important to others.
Everything was just perfect, location, hosts nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was fabulous.
Welcoming staff, beautiful building/rooms, lovely gardens/surroundings, easy to get to some nice walks nearby (Binsey/Sale Fell), delicious breakfast. Overhearing nearly every other guest say that they've stayed many times before gives confidence that it's a good hotel.
Phone signal was non-existent, and the WiFi didn't work from the room (needed to stand near the downstairs reception to get a small amount of WiFi). It didn't impact our stay (if anything, it improved it), but worth noting in case it's a necessity.
Excellent breakfast wonderful evening meal
Nothing to dislike excellent hotel very clean and comfortable staff can't do enough, and very quiet location a bit off the beaten tracks
Location very secluded, nice rooms, excellent dinner

Tranquil place to stay, very accommodating. Clean and comfortable.
The furniture rattled when walking around the room also the shower rattled when walking in the bathroom.
What an absolutely exceptional property. Consider this more than just a hotel, or restaurant. Consider it an old-world, country lodge experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel unique and special, and this continued until we left. The food is exceptional, genuinely the best meal we’ve ever eaten in a restaurant. All in all, you need to give this hidden gem a visit. The beautiful building, helpful staff, old world traditional charm and incredible food all add up to an amazing stay.

Fabulous location, good breakfasts and lovely staff. Large luxurious bathrooms and good blackout curtains were a bonus! Dog friendly. Unfortunately didn’t get chance to sample their restaurant dining as they were full.
Wifi poor. Very clean, decor a little tired.
