Had a wake here after my Mum’s funeral at Milton Malsor Crem. Very easy to get to. The room was very clean and we decorated before people arrived. The staff were very friendly and service was food. The egg sandwiches where a bit lacking in egg but apart from that everything was very good.

Lovely, small and cosy. Very clean. Breakfast was included,not a buffet, you choose which one and cooked fresh. Great service during breakfast, lady was very attentive and check out is easy and online placing the key in a bowl when leaving.
Very accomdating for us and allowed us to check in early at 1pm as we needed to head to a festival in Milton keynes. This was very helpful and handy, thank you. A restaurant and bar on site. Location was not great, distant from places and across from a train track which gets noisy early morning with the trains passing. Takes about 5 minutes for hot water to warm up which is explained on the leaflet however when the water is running a drainage smell starts coming from the bathroom which is not great. For convenience it was great.

We went with my sons and their wives to celebrate my 70th birthday. Rooms were lovely clean and very nicely decorated. We had a meal in the restaurant which was very good. There was a live band on in the to entertain us after. Breakfast had a great choice,the only thing missing was fruit

Booked for Mother’s Day yesterday by my partner for 5pm a few days prior to event, arrived and nicely greeted and seated, meal came out very quickly but didn’t question, ordered from mothers day menu of two beef roasts, meal came and plates were incredibly hot, so much so had to request another plate for my 1 year old (ordered from the kids menu of fish fingers fries and beans) to be cold so that she could eat off of it and touch it. Began to eat and noticed food was cold apart from hot and incredibly hard and dry roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, veg and meat all cold and piled on hot plate, was asked towards end of meal if ok and partner replies fine as we didn’t have time to get into a request of a new dinner at this point, on paying for the meal partner advised meal was lovely tasting however very cold, chef instantly refuses my partner and said it wasn’t cold, then turned to myself and said I should have said something as all food was previously prepared and stored on hot plates, i didn’t know what to say to this but wasn’t happy hearing my food was prepared and stored on hot plates for the afternoon at £16.50 per person for beef roast dinner. Had this have been advised that food would not be freshly cooked on arrival I wouldn’t have stayed and found another restaurant for dinner. With that being said we were given bill with no further customer service. No offer of discount or free pudding to make up for cold meal, so paid and left. Prior to leaving we heard the table next to us comment on hard roast potato’s and decided to finish my Mother’s Day by leaving and not wanting to cause a scene, first time and last time attending the walnut tree.

We came to view the Walnut Tree Inn as a wedding venue and decided to stay on for some lunch afterwards. The building is very cozy and we felt really welcome! The food was delicious and brought out personally by the chef, who came to check on us (and other tables) throughout the meal. We would definitely recommend for food!
