The Walnut Tree

The dedication of the staff. You could clearly see the staff who were there ( we only saw one at night and one in the morning, both lovely ) were having to multi task their roles. Especially the breakfast lassie who we were informed the night before was having to go and do housekeeping as soon as breakfast was over . 👏 now I’m in the industry and have been for 43 years, I can truly appreciate how hard a job it all is. I make sure I never read negative reviews as I will judge for myself . We had a great sleep in a comfortable bed, we had plenty of tea / coffee stock including biscuits ( thank you very much , nice touch indeedy) . We could turn down our heating on the radiator. The one in the bathroom was a main one and couldn’t turn down however you could just shut the bathroom door. We had a big window that opened so again you could if you got too hot open it. There wasn’t a bad smell in the room and we had plenty of storage. Location: perfect and we had absolutely no noise disturbances. The pub itself was just so quaint and had all you need in a local pub including a pool table ✅ bonus . Lots of car parking… Breakfast: this was a continental breakfast and lots of choice. Gluten free bread and gluten free cereal were also an option. The tables were cleared as soon as people left and you definitely knew there was a member of staff around . Thank you all so very much. Well done

I loved that it felt really homely, the room was comfortable and better than I expected following seeing some mixed reviews. I had a lovely welcome and was made to feel welcome during my stay especially by the bar staff and the chef. Food was lovely and not a rip off, drinks were priced well and they had a pool table which was a nice little treat.

This is a good value hotel in a great location for those visiting local attractions (Fleet Air Arm Museum, lots of nearby National Trust properties etc.) or heading Westwards on A303. I assume it was initially the village pub but now more of a Restaurant/Bar with Rooms. I did not eat in the Restaurant as I had made prior arrangements in nearby Ilchester. Room was comfortable with nice bed and a desk. Nice quiet village setting but not far from main arterial road.

Excellent place, very peaceful, stuff polite. I was surprised by that price. It was an amazing bundle. Also, they could not provide one room with a double bed and sofa bed, so they offered us instead 2 double rooms, which satisfied me even more. Nice view outside, next to hotel small river, birds singing, very quiet and peaceful. I would recommend this hotel to people who want to relax from busy cities. Continental breakfast had lovely fresh pastries, homemade, and delicious coffee

It was very cozy. Very good food and lovely staff. Great atmosphere in pub area and in local village for a walk. Fantastic price for stopover.
