Reviews
What guests have said about Overnewton Castle
Overnewton Castle has been sold and is now run by new owners. These reviews were left by customers of the previous owners.
Our surprise on arrival was just pure delight. This place is way more than wonderful accommodation. Our apartment was fully self contained and offered everything that we needed. It was incredibly comfortable and welcoming. The largest surprise was that the accommodation is in the grounds of the most beautiful property. There is an actual castle there!
What made it even more beautiful was the amazing autumn colours the Castle and the surrounding acres were covered in… Beautiful is putting it mildly.
