Dog-friendly Overwater Hall Hotel, Keswick, Cumbria

Overview

Please note: Overwater Hall is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays year-round, as well as on Wednesdays in December.

Step into a hidden treasure! Overwater Hall is a Grade II listed country mansion set within 18 acres of formal gardens and woodland, with the dramatic backdrop of Skiddaw and the Uldale Fells. Its breathtaking location is the perfect place for a dog-friendly holiday in the Lake District. The Hall is situated in 18 acres of its own gardens and woodland, making it ideal for dog walking. Plus, Keswick is just 15 minutes away by car and is regularly voted the most pet-friendly town in Britain! Dating back to the 1870s, the luxury hotel has been lovingly refurbished, with great attention to detail in preserving the historic ambience of the house. The cosy bar is open all day and is the perfect spot for relaxing after a day out walking with your dog. Be sure to try Skiddaw, a locally brewed real ale, or if you fancy a cocktail, there are plenty to choose from. Whether you and your furry friend want to roam the gardens or settle in front of an open log fire in the winter, Overwater Hall is a truly relaxing dog-friendly hotel.

What Your Dog Can Expect At This Dog-Friendly Hotel

Dogs are truly welcomed at Overwater Hall—they are part of the family. All canine visitors will find a homemade dog biscuit in their room on arrival and are welcome in one of the lounges and the bar area. Your pup can be left unaccompanied in the bedrooms if required, but there is also the possibility of a dog-sitting service if needed. Whilst the garden is not fully enclosed/gated, there is plenty of space for your pooch to roam around off-lead without the worry of being near a road.

The homemade dog biscuits will get tails wagging! Be sure to ask for the recipe before you leave!
