The location of the Walnut Tree is idyllic, the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. A warm and welcoming hotel with amazing food to top things off. We are looking forward to returning to The Walnut Tree in the near future!

    Good morning, thanks for getting in touch. We have some downstairs rooms with walk in showers and a rail, but the wheelchair would have to get over a small step to enter the room. The same is true to enter the restaurant (there is a small step).
