Stayed at this hotel about 18 months ago, and enjoyed it very much so .we returned again this week. The staff are very attentive, and welcoming. We had a lovely well equipped room, and just as before the food was excellent. Enjoyed walking with the dog each morning in the extensive grounds. Just before we left a red squirrel came... More

We only live about 10 miles from Overwater Hall but it was still a great place to go for a night and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, switch off and relax. The food was fabulous, some of the best we have ever had. Our room was lovely and it was great to be able to take our dogs with us and... More

This is quiet small hotel with a friendly, but not pushy group of staff who look after you excellently with polite, but not stuffy decorum. The room was well equipped and comfortable and the food was great (both breakfast and dinner) Remember to take a shirt for the evening! Dogs really are welcomed. The grounds are teaming with birds as... More

Once again I returned to this haven of tranquility, and sheer perfection. There is really not much to add to my previous review of 'Overwater' but I am amazed that such total quality and in particular the outstanding food does not reflect in a waiting list to actually stay there. On this occasion I sampled one of Luke's cocktails -... More

Overwater Hall looks a little quirky and slightly out of place in its remote and incredibly beautiful surroundings with Skiddaw in the near distance. But this anamazing hotel! The welcome we received was really warm and helpful.The public rooms are sumptious and comfortable and the hotel has some lovely gardens. Our bedroom was one of the corner turret rooms with... More

It's difficult finding quality places to overnight in the Borders especially when you have your dog with you. Overwater ticks all the boxes ! Fantastic location in private grounds so no issues for dog walking. Friendly reception, spacious room (garden room) and modern bathroom with great shower. Cosy bar with welcome nibbles before Dinner set the tone. Traditional dining room... More

We stayed as a family group – gathering eight of us in total, from 22 to 86 years old – at Overwater Hall from Friday night through to Monday morning. None of us wanted to leave! A perfect break, tucked away amongst the trees out of the wind in stunning surroundings, looked after with careful attention to every detail by... More

Quality of accommodation and service are excellent. Meals also superb although we found the four course dinner a bit much to eat. The icing on the cake was the abundant birdlife and the evening visits from red squirrels. Very relaxing spot away from everything but if you do want to dine out there are several good places within a few... More
