location fab , food amazing, owners and staff very friendly and great service

Brenda United Kingdom

All as described - staying for a wedding so didn’t spend much time there but comfortable and clean.

Lily United Kingdom

Had a nice cosy room nice bed and large bathroom with shower and bath very nice garden areas lit at night, good food and friendly staff hotel is in a small village with little to no traffic

Wendy United Kingdom

This is a very comfortable place, and as mentioned in the menu, there’s a lot of love. It’s quirky as it feels as though they are slowly sorting out the external areas and combining old English with a Caribbean flavour. All the food is beautifully presented and exceeded expectations. However this is an unhurried place. There is no quick turn around unless maybe prearranged with staff. And yet we discovered that this was exactly what we needed and felt much better for it.

Dawn United Kingdom

great location fir where we were visiting. really good food. most importantly excellent staff.

Tim United Kingdom

Run by a lovely family - we felt instantly welcome, nothing was too much trouble and the food was so delicious and just the right portion sizes. They were very family friendly - and accommodating of ouryoung child in many ways which other hotels have failed at. We really appreciated it. Comfy beds & great shower too.

Lucy United Kingdom

Location in a quiet village with some interesting buildings from different ages. We enjoyed a walk around the village. Breakfast was really very good and tasty. We were impressed with the cooking of local produce and how they got the eggs in a round shape. Both my wife and i have been involved with catering establishments and loved it and the taste was lovely. Staff were polite, friendly and went over and beyond as we managed to leave a jacket behind and they found it, packaged it up and sent it in the post to us. Lovely people!

Geoffrey United Kingdom

Good location and an excellent village walking trail. Very friendly staff and a well appointed room. Food and service good and the overall ambience relaxed and enjoyable.

Allan United Kingdom

friendly staff, in a traditional old style inn with a great Caribbean twist

Peter United Kingdom

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!
