Walnut Tree Hotel

The pies are a must, with plenty of tasty choices on the menu. Mine with chips was the best I’ve had, and the prices were great too. I stayed two nights and, travelling solo, really appreciated how friendly and welcoming the staff were. I’d definitely come back.

I only stopped in for a drink, but this is a brilliant country pub. The staff were friendly and easy to chat with, and the Guinness was a real treat. As someone from Ireland, I don’t say that lightly. Love the place.

The pub and restaurant were lovely spots to sit with a drink or a meal, and it was easy to meet locals and other travellers there. Peter & Janine made us feel so welcome, and Kira, Barbara & Megan, along with the other staff whose names I didn’t catch, added to that feeling. We were spoiled by Janine’s cooking, all those classic pub dishes made from scratch with care. Our room was private and comfortable, with a nice bed and ensuite. It’s right in a pleasant village, with nature and quiet nearby, and makes a good base for exploring Somerset. I stayed for eighteen nights and never changed my mind about the cosy, welcoming feel I got on arrival. Fantastic place, highly recommended, and I’d definitely stay again.

The room looked really pretty, but it was absolutely freezing. I went to bed wearing a jumper, leggings and socks, and the bathroom was so cold it took my breath away. I can’t comment on the service or the pies because the pub is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. There was no food available and no way to heat any.
