Loved my Stay at No1 Overman. It’s just perfect. Immaculately clean, has everything you’d need to use, it really is like a home from home. Really comfy beds and loved relaxing in the Hot Tub. Just step out the door and at the end of the road there’s a bus stop that takes you into Durham for £2\. Can also walk 2 miles along the riverside and you’re right in the center as well. loved it so much I made a booking for next year before I left. Might also come back in March with friends. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ##### Craig Stevenson This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth LEATHLEY 7 Oct 2025 #### Great little cottage, very clean and well equipped.
