My stay at Overwater Hall was phenomenal, combining elegant comfort with a stunning dining experience that rivals Michelin stars. The staff is incredibly attentive, and the atmosphere is both tranquil and welcoming. However, getting my dog to stick to the well-constructed path during walks was a bit challenging. Overall, a memorable getaway that I can't wait to repeat!

My stay at Overwater Hall was truly delightful. The highlight was undoubtedly the exceptional dining experience with innovative dishes that were simply outstanding. The tranquil atmosphere made for a perfect getaway, and the staff's warm hospitality enhanced my overall visit. However, the Wi-Fi connection could have been more reliable, and the Georgian architecture means there's no lift, so prepare for stairs. Overall, it's a lovely place to unwind.

Our stay at this hotel was fantastic, offering an exceptional dining experience that easily surpassed many fine dining spots. The personal service was warm and attentive, embracing you like family. The only downside was the somewhat lonely presentation of the sausage during breakfast, but that was only a minor quip in an otherwise splendid experience.
