Overwater Hall Hotel in Allerdale

Great atmosphere but did not enjoy the food

This was our first visit to The Cottage in the Wood and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were, without exception, all friendly and helpful. The tasting menu was amazing and occupied the whole evening. Every course was personally explained by the attentive team, who also introduced the vegetarian options where they differed from the standard menu. After a night in one of the comfortable rooms, our stay was rounded off by a wonderful breakfast with a breath-taking view across the valley.

Best pancakes in town! And a mean sourdough to boot! Kids love it here. 😀 100% need to book to guarantee a table.

Came here on a recommendation and was not disappointed.Had the Pike O'Pickle Burger, Katsui Chicken Burger with Crinkle Cut Frys... Everything was great. Staff and service were first class, and the Ullswater Blonde ( the beer) was belting..Will return in the not too distant future...highly recommend.

Best Lamb pie I ever had! Like a Sunday roast with mint sauce and spuds in a pie. Magnificent. And the staff were lovely too!
