Please note: The property has a natural water supply.. Overwater Lodge was built at the turn of the 20th century as one of a pair of cottages for Overwater Hall.

With stunning views towards Skiddaw from most rooms, large south facing cottage garden and adjoining woodland. Overwater Lodge is perfect for adults and children alike, with space to relax and play.
Situated 3 miles north east of Bassenthwaite Lake, the area is perfect for walking, cycling and relaxing. The Reiver cycleway passes the cottage. Two bridleways lead alongside to Binsey Fell, Skiddaw and the Cumbrian Way. Overwater tarn is just a 2-minute walk.

With an abundance of bird life, the occasional red squirrel and deer, Overwater Lodge enjoys a truly tranquil location.
Nearby there is sailing on Bassenthwaite Lake, Lake District Wildlife Park, Mirehouse Historic House Gardens and Osprey viewpoint. The Castle Inn Hotel and Armathwaite Hall Hotel are within 3 miles and between them offer spa treatments, spa days and outdoor pursuit activities, such as clay pigeon shooting and quad biking. Nearby Whinlatter Forest offers several trails and the Go Ape experience. Overwater Lodge is also just 5 minutes drive from The Lakes Distillery.

Also nearby is Bassenthwaite Station, set in two old railway carriages, on the west side of Bassenthwaite Lake for breakfasts, lunches and teas.
