History of the hotel
The name of the present building has changed over the years since it was built. Originally it was called Whitefield House, but in the early part of the last century its name changed to Overwater Hall. In the 1950s it reverted back to the former name, and a decade later it became Overwater Hall once more. “Overwater" refers to the tarn which lies some 500 yards to the northeast.
Child Policy
Children are welcome. There are several rooms large enough to take an extra bed, and the hotel has a cot, a high chair and a baby monitor for guests' use. Please note that children under the age of five are not permitted in the restaurant in the evenings, but a high tea can be arranged earlier in the day if required.
Dogs Policy
Dog owners will be delighted to know that well-behaved dogs are genuinely welcome to stay at Overwater Hall at no extra charge.
Dogs are welcome in bedrooms and in one of the hotel's lounges and bar – no dogs on chairs, though, please and dogs are not permitted in th restaurant. If you wish to dine in the bar with your dog, please do book in advance as space is limited.
A dog sitting service can be arranged for one of those rainy days when your four legged friend might not be welcome in that museum or art gallery which you have always wanted to visit.
The grounds
Overwater is not just about the hotel. Boasting 18 acres of solitude, our guests can enjoy formal gardens where gravel pathways and outdoor seating encourage you to linger longer; and the impressive boardwalk that snakes off through nursery woodland is hugely popular.
The Rooms at Overwater Hall
Standard room
Each of the eleven tastefully furnished and decorated bedrooms is different, but all are equipped to the same exacting high standard.
Standard Rooms (One, Seven and Ten) are that bit smaller - yet still large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed, two comfortable chairs and a coffee table. These rooms look out over the gardens.
All eleven en suite bathrooms are luxuriously appointed with large double-ended baths and separate shower units. You are sure to appreciate the finishing touches in all of the rooms, too: fresh fruit and flowers, mineral water, fresh milk on the hot drinks tray, fluffy bathrobes and designer toiletries by Gilchrist & Soames.
Beds are topped with duvets wrapped in luxurious Egyptian Cotton covers - if you prefer more traditional sheets and blankets just let us know. For those mixing business with pleasure, free and unrestricted WiFi access is now available in all rooms, and Ipod docking stations are built into the televisions. If there is anything else you require – foam pillows instead of feather, for instance – you have only to ask!
Superior
Each of the eleven tastefully furnished and decorated bedrooms is different, but all are equipped to the same exacting high standard.

Garden room
The only bedroom on the ground floor, ideally suited to ambulant disabled guests. This spacious room with either super-king or twin beds, is large enough to accommodate an extra bed for families. A whirlpool-spa bath and balcony make this room extra special.
Turret room
This turret room has lots of character, with a polished king-size sleigh bed and Victorian roll top bath. Spectacular views through no fewer than four large windows. Arguably the finest room in the hotel.
