We really enjoyed our stay at Newburgh House, the room was very clean and generously sized. Our hosts made us feel very welcome from the start and were very attentive throughout our stay. Although the location is very remote, our hosts provided some great recommendations for dinner which were a very short drive away, the hotels location is perfect for a peaceful walking holiday. We also requested breakfast both mornings, which did not dissapoint.

Friendly staff. As a country pub good. meals and drinks reasonable. However,
Rooms are very basic, needs a good deep clean, small and tatty, en suite needs complete refurb and the drainage sorting out.

Friendly staff, made to feel very welcome, great food. Can't quite make 5 stars as the room was fairly compact - but comfortable, adequate and practical. A good base for a lovely country area.

We arrived at the hotel shown to room 203 the window was wide open and it was cold and raining we went down for evening meal when came back in the room there was a 4 poster bed and it was full of dust and cobwebs all over all the other furniture was dust I got up in the middle of the night had to open the window because of the fusty smell the old iderdown weighed a ton we have reported it to the hotel they came up with silly excuses the mirror which was very large looked like it had fallen of the wall and they had just leaned it against the wall right were you walked to the toilet very dangerous this hotel is a disscusting place and should have been checked by your company before putting it in your booklet in the pack

Thank you for your feedback on the One Night Escape with Dinner for Two. Your feedback is upsetting to hear as this is a popular location choice for many of our customers, this comes as quite a surprise.
I'm very sorry to hear that you were left feeling disappointed with the experience that you took and you felt the hotel staff were not helpful with the issues that you brought to their attention. I will pass your feedback onto the relevant department to look into this further.
Thank you again.

This was the worst b&b experience ever ...
On arrival the walnut tree inn looked nice and there was ample parking at the rear unfortunately on leaving the car we were met with the sound of a high speed train passing by the front of the property no more than 200 metres away and then by a second train before me managed to reach reception this was to set the tone of our visit.... literally!
The decor in the reception area was to a very nice standard as was the eating areas to either side and we had high expectations for
our room, the member of staff was welcoming and friendly but we were taken aback when they insisted on taking payment in advance for the extra night we had booked, something I have never been asked for before or since.
We were then shown to our room at the front of the property and we were so stunned by the sight of it we were left speechless, the dark purple feature wall, brown carpet, grey curtains and mismatched 1970's wooden furniture was certainly not what we were expecting, we were shook from the sight of the room by the passing of another train and then another and another in fact every 15 minutes until about 4am when they became half hourly it was now apparent why they took payment in advance for the 2and night!
At 7am I went to reception and complained and was assured we would be moved to another room at the back of the property once we had breakfast which was due to be delivered to the room at 9, by 25 past 9 we were on the verge of walking out when it arrived or at least some of it did, given the miserly portions it felt like we were on rations.
The 2nd room was slightly better than the first still dated but no garish feature wall thankfully.
On the 2nd morning we decided to have breakfast in the dining area, easier on the eye but unfortunately no more filling on the stomach, no fruit just a limited choice of cereal or English breakfast one or the other, we chose the latter it was cooked to perfection including the poached egg it tasted nice but one sausage one bacon one egg four cherry tomatoes and a spoonful of beans with a single slice of toast was never going to set us up for the day.
Overall a very disappointing experience and if any business should go under due to covid 19 this is it! harsh but true.

Thank you for your review for your Relaxing Break in the Country experience, I'm very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at The Walnut Tree Inn.
I'm sorry to hear that you were not aware the location of the hotel, when giving the address of the property it does state it is on 'Station Road' and if this was missed I can understand how this may have set the tone for the rest of your stay.
In regards to your stay; I'm happy to hear that you did enjoy the breakfast that you were served as you had described a 'cooked to perfection' english breakfast, I can only apologise on behalf of the venue if you felt it was on the small side. I'm also glad to hear that the staff at the hotel were more than happy to move you to a more comfortable room as the first room was not to your taste.
In response to the end of your review, I'm very sorry that you feel this way even if you felt the experience was disappointing. I will pass these comments over to the venue to be investigated fully and improve the facilities for future stays.
Thank you again.

I was bought this as a gift, so felt I had to use it. But would have been better pretending I'd been, as still had to lie about enjoying it! There was no choice when I came to book, with the closest property about 1 hour and 45 minutes away, the next closest probably another hour and half. The room was cold and tiny and the pub didn't have much atmosphere. Though of course a thriving establishment wouldn't need to join this type of scheme.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. I'm very sorry that you did not enjoy your One Night Bed and Breakfast experience. I can see that there were a couple of locations within your experience that were within an hour away from your postcode, however as with any experience, you are able to exchange it to something that is more suitable, so can only apologise if this information was not clear.
Thank you again for your review.
