Fantastic hotel and fantastic surroundings. Excellent breakfast with perfect service.
Everything was superb and we really recommend a stay here.
Only problem was that we only booked one night. We would have liked to stay longer.

Awful from when we arrived. 8 hours drive to be welcomed by a rude obnoxious guy called Chris.
When we left chased us on the road , nearly causing an accident , blocking two lanes of the carriage saying we didn’t pay. He charged us twice. Police involved by us . Awful staying, awful guy. He is lucky I was not having a bad day, otherwise the idiot would be in hospital. Stay away from it

Liked everything about it, very quiet and peaceful, could hear and see the birds. The location is fairly central to Cockermouth and Keswick. We loved Mirehouse too, definitely worth a visit and that is close by.

A quiet little village in the north of the Lake District far enough away from the main towns of Keswick, etc. to enable you to enjoy the peace of the Lake District without the crowds. Some nice pubs in and around the village where you can experience the local atmosphere and mix with the locals. Best to have a car to explore the areas around the village.

Covers a Friday on an outward joyride <500 miles and an inward of similar distance on the following Monday. Allocated a large room at £119 on Friday and a noticeably smaller one on our return on the Monday at a rate of £129 - no explanation. The hotel allows dogs in dining areas and it was overrun, one customer had 3 dogs, all filthy. Hotel should allow in one area only

Good food, good beer and some nice wines. Friendly staff.
My room was a little overpriced for what it was (a small double) would be very cramped if two people sharing, but was adequate for the nights stay I needed. I travelled down from Scotland on my way home to London and stopped on the way overnight just to get a dinner and some rest.
The room was in front of a shared entrance so could be noisy and the other guest rooms were close so could occasionally hear talking and general noise. The window opens up onto the road and the car park opposite so can also get noisy if guests arrive or leave.
The location of the premises is perfect for access to walks and the lakes.

The whole experience was a joy from the Staff,Room,Grounds and the food simply outstanding.
A Hotel that would outshine many 5 star hotels in ambiance and that family feeling.
We defiantly will visit again

Fabulous location for walkers.
Fabulous location for walkers. Great variety of routes of different ranges of difficulty. Ospreys are back nesting at the southern end of the lake for bird watchers. Range of other activities too for none hikers!
The location was fantastic - close to Skiddaw, Blencathra, Bassenthwaite lake and Keswick (5-10 minute drive). Great location for hiking and only a short drive from the lake for a swim. Abby and her mum were very welcoming and friendly. The room was nicely finished and very clean and the breakfast was tasty. Having a hot breakfast option as well as the continental breakfast in the room was handy given there are no shops in the immediate vicinity.
Excellent location on the flank of Skiddaw and a short drive to Keswick. Ideal location for the North lakes and surrounding area. We liked the farm environment and everyone was super helpful. The interior of our room was exceptional. The window was a bit small but as we spent most of our time out doors it isn't really an issue. We were able to plug in our EV for charging.
Good location for exploring nearby Keswick and surrounding areas. Stunning views from the back of the property. The cottage has great potential and could be a fantastic little holiday let but unfortunately all the negatives listed below really let it down. Hosts please take note because it has the potential to be great with more care and attention from you!
This hotel is located in a quiet location close to Sale Fell. Lovely room, clean and tidy. The shower was fantastic, especially the handshower was like a high pressure cleaner.
View on lovely maintained garden in true ‘geoffrey smith’ style.
The walk up Sale Fell which starts from the hotel is worth walking. The views from the lop are really awesome.
One of the nicest and best equipped caravans we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was excellent quality, the beds in particular were extremely comfy. Great walks about the park and only 10 mins from Cockermouth, 15 mins from Keswick. Amazing value for our week in February and would definitely return.
Very comfortable room on the edge of Bassenthwaite lake. Generous tea tray provided with homemade biscuits. Flowers on the windowsill were a lovely touch. We made use of the fridge to keep breakfast & picnic foodstuffs.
The luxury shower gel, soap & hand lotion were also appreciated.
Very special place. This gorgeous farmhouse was the perfect home base for our family visit to the lake district. You could spend your entire trip just enjoying the immediate surroundings. Everything was clean, comfortable, and like the pictures but more beautiful!
Gardens are beautiful. Bathroom was very nice.
Access to the fells Sale, etc. was excellent. They had two decent draft beers on tap.
Breakfast was very nice and a good selection from the continental area as well as the à la cart menu.
Plenty of good parking.
We have visited for years since our honeymoon. It has changed and lacks the finesse and detail like fresh flowers and a lounge to sit in which most hotels have. We understand the changes are needed for it to survive and be economically viable.
We spent a lovely weekend at Overwater Hall. Such a cozy place, there is a nice walking area around the property. Dining was outstanding. the rooms are clean and the hotel is located in a nice area. I would highly recommend this place.
We did not have breakfast provided.
The location was stunning. Absolutely beautiful. It was lovely to have birds nesting close by too that we could watch. It was very quiet and the little hamlet of Bassenthwaite is very pretty.
Location beautiful and close to lake district wildlife park, mire House/gardens, local pubs, villages. Cake left for us. Milk in fridge. Loved the mirror above the bed with the lights on!
A wonderful place to stay. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was extremely spacious, the bathroom a marble. Very clean. Breakfast and dinner were delicious.
