Guest Reviews
The house was beautifully presented and very well equipped. Beds were very comfy and towels soft. The art work was much admired. The kitchen was equipped to a very high standard - all the utensils you could ask for and spotlessly clean. The cupboard of condiments was very useful and we added a few bits on our departure! Fabulous location with a choice of pubs and eateries, and super walks all within minutes.

As Expected. We have stayed previously and knew it was great 10 out of 10 for cleanliness and the outside space. Spacious and secure large garden for dogs Another lovely stay at Walnut Pastures, this time at Christmas, and our hosts had made it very welcoming
