Athelney Vacations

"The Walnut Tree is an ideal hotel as a stop-off between destinations, if you need a break when driving a long distance. We needed a base to visit other Somerset places and the like, and chose it for convenience and its proximity to motorway and cross-country routes and its excellent over-night parking, for which it was very good. While the food was also very good (breakfast was included in our rate - evening meal had to be booked ahead, but was also very good), the area was devoid of walkable...

"Hotel was in good condition, however one of the lights for bedtime reading was blown and the bathroom bin hadn't been emptied, but for one night, it was ok. Food was not the best both breakfast and evening. Breakfast hot food was barely warm and evening was the same after waiting 30mins after ordering and only being us and another couple dining. There was a restaurant next door however they fill up fast and had no spaces for us, hence eating in the hotel. In review....book the restaurant next...

"We stayed for 2 nights in the family room which had a lovely comfortable king size bed, ensuite with large walk in shower and air con which was a God send. Very clean and quiet. The staff are lovely, food and drinks reasonably priced, breakfast choices good. The beer garden needs some attention but is secure if you have children or a dog. Steep stairs to the rooms which were a bit difficult with our elderly dog but over all a great stay. Please note, although very dog friendly they do charge...

"Good stay, convenient location."

"Wonderful stay"

"Staff were generally friendly. The room was very dated - it looked tired and rather grubby. We were alarmed to see extension cables and exposed electrical wiring. The bed clothes were old & not inviting. There was no enclosed shower. The bathroom looked to be from the 70’s/80’s. The TV in the room had an alarm feature which unbeknown to us had been programmed to go off at 5.30am and 7.30 am - this was not appreciated! The cooled breakfast was good."

"Lovely staff and a comfy bed saved this property from a less favorable review. It feels like a converted hospital where the interior designer ran out of money. But, it is LITERALLY opposite the station if you need to catch a train. And they have gorgeous looking cannoli. Good in a pinch."
