Pros:

Really enjoyed our stay, the room was spotless and comfortable, breakfast was lovely and the staff and locals very welcoming in the pub. The only issue we had was the temperature of the shower, we couldn't turn the temperature down and it was so hot it was burning our skin, we did inform staff. Not the end of the world as there was a nice bath, my partner however has a knee injury and did struggle with the bath.
There was plenty of parking, the location was quiet and it was a perfect chill setting, would highly recommend.

The Wallnut Tree,West Camel, base for excursion
Pros:


The first impression upon entering reception (it's in the pub) is that you feel like you've walked into the crime series Midsummer Murder and are looking to find Barneby.
Our room was great, large bed, nice bathroom.
You are greeted very warmly and uprightly, and you feel like you've been treated to a very good life.

The Walnut Tree is located in a small village (approx. 400 inhabitants) and is very peaceful and full of character, making it the perfect place if you want peace and relaxation.
We were the guests who stayed the longest, with 18 nights. We ate dinner every day and sometimes lunch too. The food is excellent; we give the kitchen 11 out of 10 stars. I can only recommend the food.
During our time as guests, we became very close to the landlord and his wife and the staff, and a friendship developed. Furthermore, when you are open to other people like we are, we were also able to make contact with the local residents, and all of this gave us the feeling that we were part of the community.

We would therefore like to express our thanks to the landlord, Peter and his wife Janine, and of course to the staff (Kira, Barbara, Megan, Rachel, and the young bartender).
I would also like to express our thanks to the local people (Jeff, Joe, Paul, and Sharon); it's nice to have friends, thank you.
We can definitely recommend The Walnut Tree and we will be back.
PS: It's a village hotel with a pub, and not a Big City Hotel, where you have 24 Hour service.

Pros:

Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist absolut super! Die Speisenauswahl ist begrenzt, aber auch hier, super Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig, wenn der Nachbar schnarcht, TV schaut oder redet, hört man das sehr gut!

Pros:

I stayed here last year and gave it a 5-star review. Naturally, being in the same area I stayed here again. The experience wasn’t as nice. Apparently, it’s under new management and they don’t have the necessary staff for full service yet. It’s a lovely bucolic location and a historic building so I wish the management best of luck.

Nice place, clean, uncomfortable.
Pros:

Easy on arrival, turned up at 2245, dark and not obvious where to go but eventually found entrance round the back. Called a no. and let us in. Clean bedding, Double bed really comfy but the old hard futon that made 2 short singles was very uncomfortable and we slept quite badly. Left at 08:30 and Nowhere to leave keys so had to call the no. again and wake owner up.
