The Walnut Tree Inn

What guests think

At The Walnut Tree Inn, travellers frequently praise the friendly staff, good food and breakfasts, and clean, comfortable rooms, while several caution that rooms facing the nearby railway can experience train noise, especially in the evening and early morning.

The location suits stopovers and visits to Silverstone or the Grand Union Canal, with easy access from the motorway and ample parking. Some guests reported thin curtains, occasional plumbing sounds, and no air conditioning, and single rooms can feel small with fewer amenities. The bar is popular and sometimes hosts live music, though a few mentioned vaping inside. Best for travellers seeking a convenient stop with character; light sleepers should request a room at the back.

What a fantastic place. If you are going to Silverstone you won’t get a better place to stay. Secure parking at the back of the pub for your bike, ten minutes from the circuit and super friendly staff. The food was excellent, best I’ve eaten in years of travel around the World let alone the UK. A gem of a place.

Comfortable room with smart newly refurbished bathroom. Nice bar and breakfast was good. My room was at the front nearest the main rail line, though the sound of passing trains was pretty much constant it wasn't too disturbing. Would certainly stay here again anyway.

Surprised vaping was allowed at the Bar in total disregard of the law. Breakfast was minimal, sausage (one) was undercooked and bacon (one rasher) more fat than meat. Half a mushroom, a tablespoon of beans and a greasy hash-brown completed the meal. The Buffet for the Wake was also very poor standard considering the cost of the accommodation. Overall very disappointed.

The Walnut is a lovely hotel and restaurant. My room, while clean and tidy, was really small and lacked, what I call, basic amenities. ie wardrobe, table etc. Would I recommend the Walnut? Yes, of course. But don't pick the single room.

The Walnut Tree Inn is a lovely place to stay. We enjoyed the large, tastefully furnished, room and bathroom and the food in the bar was very good. The two negative points would be the train noise every 15-30 until late into the evening and the sink in the bathroom was too shallow to actually wash in.

The hotel is let down by the fact that the railway line is literally across the road. The bed literally shook when the trains ran over the track. Light sleepers will struggle as you can hear the trains clear as day. The hotel itself, including service, was spot on but location and sound proofing is awful. Not sure if this is listed on the booking and my booking was last minute, so could have missed it

Comfortable room for 2 adults and 2 children which met our expectations. Unfortunately we arrived late and left early so it was only a brief visit but what we did experience (bar, bed and breakfast) was all very good! In fact breakfast was very, very good!! It was a shame we missed the restaurant as the menu looked delicious, the staff at the hotel suggested alternatives (local pizza delivery service) but at that stage after a long drive we were just happy to have a drink and some bar snacks (crisps) before getting an early(ish) night for the following days!
