My recent stay at The Walnut Tree Inn was a mix of pleasant experiences and some drawbacks. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home. However, noise from the nearby railway line disturbed my sleep a bit too much for comfort. Overall, a solid visit but with room for improvement.

My stay at The Walnut Tree Inn was pleasant overall. The food, particularly the Walnut Tree Burger and dessert, was delicious and served promptly. However, the noise from the nearby train line made it difficult to sleep at times, especially with high-speed trains passing frequently. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which really enhanced the experience.

The inn is conveniently located outside of Blisworth and only a short drive from Silverstone. However, being next to the main railway line means you can hear trains quite frequently.

I had a mixed experience at The Walnut Tree Inn. While the breakfast was truly good and the dinner had some highlights, such as a fantastic starter, the main course was disappointing and felt like leftovers. The room was cramped and overlooked a busy railway line, which made for a noisy night. Overall, it provided basic accommodations, but it certainly has room for improvement.

Rooms

6.0

My superior room felt quite inadequate, being narrow and having an ordinary double bed instead of a king. The bathroom lacked ventilation, and I was greeted by a noisy toilet cistern. Even the decor felt outdated.

The staff were friendly and attentive, which I appreciated, especially during breakfast and dinner. However, the service during checkout could have been more organized.

Location

The inn's location is convenient if you're heading to Silverstone, but it's definitely in a remote area, requiring a car to get around. Notably, it's opposite a busy railway line, so be prepared for some noise.

Dining

7.0

The breakfast was excellent, with a well-cooked full English and a friendly service. However, the dinner was hit or miss, with a stellar starter but an underwhelming main course that left me disappointed.

Facilities

5.0

Housekeeping could improve; I found only half a roll of toilet paper and no spare. The car park also had noticeable potholes which made for an unattractive arrival.

I had a good stay at The Walnut Tree Inn. The location is central and easy to find, though being close to the railway line meant it was a bit noisy at night.

Location

Being so close to the railway line made it convenient but also pretty noisy at times. It’s ideal for quick access to Silverstone and the area around Northampton, but the train sounds were a drawback.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast was quite nice and well-prepared, but I didn’t get to sample too much else. My experience at dinner wasn’t as great, as I found the tapas menu lacking in quality compared to what I expected.

Facilities

6.0

The overall facilities were okay, with a decent bar area and dining setup. However, I think the noise problem and the lack of signal on the TV could be improved.
