Overtown Manor

Overtown Manor is a really wonderful place to stay. We took the whole house with friends for a weekend and we could have stayed for a week. It really made us reconsider going abroad for a holiday! Supremely comfortable bedrooms and immaculate bathrooms. A spacious and comfortable living space and really lovely garden with the pool, outdoor dining table and kitchen close together for a seamless summer day. Nancy has thought of everything to make sure you get the best out of the place and surrounding area. Strongest recommendation.

We had a landmark family birthday to celebrate, so we gathered at Overtown Manor (7 adults and three children under 5). It couldn't have been better: a lovely welcoming house, with lots of space. Each bedroom was ensuite; the two sitting rooms (one of them a snug) comfy; the kitchen spacious with a large dining table too (though there is also a separate dining room). There were log fires (with lots of logs!), so the house was really warm. Toys and games for all ages, and a large garden. Nancy Lawson was charming & friendly, and left us a generous welcome hamper (inc. home-made cake!) *****

We had a wonderful weekend at Overtown Manor celebrating a family anniversary. The house was a home from home. Incredibly comfortable with lovely spaces to relax in! The kitchen was also very well equipped. Nancy and her family were wonderful hosts who were very accommodating and helpful. They provided lots of toys for our children to play with and let us play with the dogs, cats, horses and pigs on the farm. We loved our stay and will have very happy memories of the weekend! Thank you!

Perfect location for a family gathering.Easy access to London from Swindon station. The pool was amazing and the children had lots of fun, playing both in the pool and in the garden. They loved watching the beautiful horses in the surrounding fields. And the house suited us perfectly.

We had the most wonderful stay here! We had a very warm welcome from the owners and they were really helpful making recommendations. The house is perfect and the surrounding area is beautiful. It’s a great place to choose to escape London with the family and have some downtime. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful week at Overtown with friends. The perfect start to the summer holidays. The children had a wonderful time in the beautiful garden and pool and us adults enjoyed the space and peace and quiet! The bedrooms are all very comfortable and there is plenty of space and great showers! We can’t wait to go back.

Highly recommend! We had such a great time and the house was perfect for us (a group friends, a baby, some people of us working remotely). The kitchen was well equipped and Nancy left us some delicious baked treats and also brought us champagne one day as the dishwasher was playing up (resolved promptly). We also loved the outdoor area and the bedroom/bathroom ratio was great. Everything was super clean. We also appreciated the change mat / children’s plates etc. We’re searching for an occasion to come back already! 

What a lovely old house in a remarkably peaceful, much-unknown spot and an AONB. You'll feel instantly at home - particularly with such an amazing kitchen - and children can safely tear about with no roads. They'll like saying hello to horses, sometimes pigs and lambs, chickens and the odd cat padding about.
