Advent Calendar! Merry Christmas! One of the things we love about today (and any visit to Overwater, really!) is not needing any further excuse to choose the most decadent things on the menu - including pudding, naturally! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! The Hotel always looks grand and warm, but it's taken up a level at Christmas by Angela's fabulous decorations, and we love it! Merry Christmas, everyone! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! You didn't think we'd forget about Christmas Cake?! Dawn has created so many spectacular cakes over the years, how could it not be one of our favourite bits?! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! Waking up in one of our cosy beds to venture out and look at the fantastic icicles and ice patterns feels very rewarding and wintry! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! We love the Overwater Christmas Buffets! Such a spectacular array of food and colour and imaginative decoration, and how the whole affair seems fancy-but-friendly... simply marvellous! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! We love seeing snow-crusted tops on the horizon! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! We love the drama black and white seasonal photos take on, thanks to the sparseness of the foliage, and how everything just looks a bit ethereal and fabulous! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! Clear blue skies and Lakes; red berries and glossy green leaves; white frost and snow; golden leaves clinging on to the almost-bare branches or covering the ground - either way, the landscape around here is special in December! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! We love squirrels any day here at Overwater, and they fit right in at Christmas, too - even in cake form! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! We love seeing "that" view in all the different lights, from mystical morning to resplendent dusk, thanks to the shorter days. It really is a favourite! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

[Overwater Hall @overwater_hall]

Advent Calendar! ...and the contrast of the blazing red and green! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! We love finding the "good snow" at the top of a hill to indulge in a spot of sledging, and perhaps a snowball fight! Visit our local Binsey for snowy activities! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! We love Overwater Hall itself, of course! It looks pretty special all year round, but check it out as a Winter Wonderland! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

[Overwater Hall @overwater_hall]

Advent Calendar! We love the warm glow of decorations and candlelight, reminding us of carol services in local churches! Just ask us if you would like to know any locations or times while you're here! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! Skiddaw covered in snow looks majestic from any angle, but we love it from the top of our drive: an appropriately grand introduction to our little valley! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! 'tis the season to enjoy just one more - and, as the saying goes: "skinny people are easier to kidnap: stay safe this Christmas; eat more chocolate!" #winterwonderland #theplacetobe

Advent Calendar! No further excuse needed to add a tipple to your meal... or your afternoon coffee... Bucks Fizz Breakfast, anyone?! #winterwonderland #theplacetobe
