    We had a very pleasant two days at The Walnuts. Our room had a separate bathroom, which was right next to the room, so as good as an ensuite. There was a toaster, microwave, and fridge and a selection of plates, mugs cultlery for your convenience. We were going to the races at Newmarket, which is less than half an hour away. The Riverside at Ely was our other destination, and well worth a visit. Steve was an excellent host, and it was fascinating talking to him about his former career as a jockey, and of course, meeting Purr and Topper his two beautiful horses. Thank you, Steve.

    What a fabulous property! It felt like i was staying in a beautiful French chateau in the middle of summer. Hosts were brilliant, so friendly and couldn't do enough. Room was huge and so clean. Having a fridge, microwave, kettle etc was a huge bonus. I loved the character and the peacefulness of the property. Lovely location in a beautiful village. I travel extensively with my job and finding absolute gems like this with lovely owners is the holy grail! Wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thank you for everything.

    An excellent haul-over for a night, enchanting 18th Century rooms with tasteful decor, quiet & cosy
    • Leisure trip

    • King Suite
    • Stayed 1 night

    Not much to say here, since all arrangements suited me down to the ground. I would normally sigh a breath of relief at the offer of having breakfast "late" ie after noon, very few places offer that as an option. I appreciate the sentiment and reasons. Yes it was a Sunday, but I had to be away soon after 10:15 but it may have been nice to have had the option of breakfast of some kind in the morning before I left. I do understand, Sundays are usually lazy, but for me, I had to travel somewhere else. Not really a criticism but as a marshall at a biking charity ride, it would have been good to know I might fuel up on some bread or yoghurt or something as I was on my feet much of the day at my next destination. Not such a lazy Sunday for me ;-) I will ask next time, if they do have breakfasts that late routinely at weekends, that they might reserve me something and plate it up the night before in a cool bag placed outside my room. Bit of juice, fruit, yoghurt maybe a roll - just a suggestion to keep your one or two night trade coming back ;-)

    Very cosy period setting in a grade 2 listed property. It brought back memories of my own childhood with the lovely antique feel to the the rooms and furniture. It was nevertheless, very homely and perfrect for my one night stay. I didn't use the bath but the shower was fine, perfectly warm and all facilities good quality. Even the kettle was filled to the brim ready for me to se and the bed, very comfortable. I had a lovely walk to the nearby pub across the fields. It has been newly acquired by new owners, quite a lively locals place but good food and very good price for it too! Thank you, a lovely stay and Steve was so friendly and helpful. It was a lovely quiet room, just the occasional muffled conversation from upstairs or an adjacent wall could be heard, and kids clearly running about a little early on Sunday - but not too much of an issue. I live next to a major A road, this was bliss in comparison. Really, this was kind of nice really, it made me feel I wasn't actually in some kind of monastery - still a lovely stay and so quiet. Nice to hear owls at night!

    Nothing following this point is the fault of the host: As an American getting used to having 3-4 ft. of car to my left instead of my right, I found driving in that particular area to be challenging. The roads are narrow and winding, and the residents come barreling at you at full speed. If you're not confident in your driving skills for whatever reason, you may be better off having someone drop you off.

    The host was very warm, very helpful, and very communicative. The area we stayed in was beautiful and peaceful, and getting over to our meeting at RAF Mildenhall was very easy.
