Description
Dating back around 200 years the hall was built by the Deputy Governor of Jamaica as his Lakeland retreat. Having changed hands on just a few occasions since it was built it has been owned since 1992 by the current owner-operators who are now looking to retire. The hall boasts a great deal of period character and charm including an impressive central staircase. Regular guests covet the bedrooms located on the north-east and south east corners, with these large, curved, feature bedrooms offering panoramic views and opulent accommodation.
The hotel is renowned for its personal approach to making sure every single guest enjoys their stay with all the rooms offering quality accommodation and the kitchen serving carefully prepared local produce including Lakeland lamb, local game, fresh seafood and delicious homemade pastries and desserts.
Overwater Hall is beautifully situated in the north of the Lake District National Park, fifteen minutes drive from popular market town of Keswick, close to Lake Bassenthwaite and Derwentwater and in the foothills of Skiddaw and the Caldbeck Fells, popular with walkers and outdoor enthusiasts all year round. For over 300 years, visitors have been drawn to admire and explore the stunning scenery the Lake District has to offer, attracted not only by the beautiful scenery but also by the rich and diverse cultural heritage, history, wildlife and to enjoy the great outdoors and great food and drink that the area is renowned for.

The property stands in approximately 5.7 acres of mature landscaped gardens and woodlands for guests to explore. A sweeping tarmac drive leads down the hill from the road to the hall and there are beautiful views across the surrounding countryside to the Lakeland fells.
There is a generous car park with ample guest parking and a separate access for delivery vehicles.
Overwater Hall Country House Hotel is a well-established and successful business as a result of much time, effort and money invested by the current owners, who are now looking to retire.
This historic property in a beautiful location offers a new purchaser the opportunity to continue to build and develop the existing business or bring in a new focus.
Subject to planning consent, the property could also, once again, become a private country estate offering residential or holiday let opportunities and as such would appeal to a wide variety of potential purchasers.
