Favorite place we’ve stayed…ever? I can’t recommend the Villa Walton enough. It’s so beautiful and well looked after, the gardens are stunning. We stayed in the cottage and had everything we wanted, the secluded outdoor tub was lovely! The food was amazing. I think I ate more breakfast here than I have in my entire life. My wife and I have dietary restrictions and Sue Neil were extremely accommodating and thoughtful. Everything was delicious and I wish we stayed longer! We’ll definitely be back for another slice of heaven!

Apart from the fact the house and gardens are stunning, we were so well looked after, what was supposed to be a local base for a 3 day work trip left us feeling like we had been on holiday for a week. The house and rooms restful, food heavenly, and the host treated us like old friends. We we definitely return!

Excellent luxury stay. Well-renovated historical building, beautiful gardens, fresh food home grown and locally sourced. Great small touches that shows attention to detail. Personal and professional service. Great place to stay e.g. when visiting Hobbiton since it is only 25 min away by car. Also nice just for a comfortable getaway to relax.

Charming bed and breakfast with Victorian styling, updated amenities and features like a heated towel rack in the bathroom, and stand-up-frameless shower. The property was quiet and made it easy to relax. The owners are fantastic hosts who provide excellent coffee, breakfast and drinks for a relaxing nightcap. My wife is still talking about the avocado toast with toasted cheese. Definitely recommend Villa Walton.

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay here. The room was gorgeous and comfortable - beautiful bathroom and very clean. The whole place has been gorgeously decorated and there are so many small touches that just make it so inviting. Glen was a fantastic and welcoming host, not to mention an excellent chef! Our breakfast was delightful and the sticky date pudding was delightful. It was also great to interact with the sheep, chickens, and Willis the cat on the property. Would absolutely recommend staying here - truly a beautiful place!
