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.

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.

Amazing B&B Experience

We had an amazing experience at Villa Walton. From the condition of the house, the service, various thoughtful touches, to the friendliness of our host Glenn, everything was just spot on. We even had the luck to be upgraded to a bigger room. Glenn took the time to show us his lambs on the farm and let us bottle feed them. The next morning we had a delicious breakfast to start the day before hitting off to Hobbiton. Overall it was a very unique B&B experience which I will highly recommend.

Villa Walton was absolutely perfect and the host Mark was wonderful and went above and beyond to assist us. We were in town for a funeral and my husband forgot his cufflinks and Mark even provided some cufflinks to borrow. The cottage was beautiful, really comfortable (the bed is divine) and the perfect space for us for two nights. The breakfast was delicious (I loved the organic blueberry pancakes!). If we are ever back in the area we will definitely stay again. I’d highly recommend Villa Walton - 5 stars all the way ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

First class accommodation and service with many nice touches.The perfect B and B with excellent breakfast and the evening meal menu looked fantastic too. Location is great for travellers and its not too far from nearby attractions like the Hobbiton movie set. Definitely worth a stay, very relaxing and enjoyable.

Villa Walton is an absolutely charming property. The gardens were lush with beautiful flowers, the vegetable patches, the greenhouse, the adorable sheep - Dixie and Trixie (I believe those are their names), the chicken and the dogs... The dining room with its jungle-inspired decor, the lounge with a baby grand and the corridor with old photos of the area and Glenn’s family... Glenn is the loveliest host and our thanks to him for making our short stay so delightful.

Top class property. Absolute 5 out of 5

We booked the Cottage for 2 nights.
The house is ample and everything felt luxurious and very good quality; from the kitchen elements to the toiletries.
Everything was spotless clean.
The breakfast was good and home made.
Even the complimentary cookies were home made (and amazing, btw).
We had also a small complimentary selection of liquors that were also very good and probably from a local producer.
The location is isolated so expect absolute silence (Just birds, etc.) but also some flies and similar. We didn't see any mosquito.

The only negative is that we didn't have more time to relax and enjoy what the villa had to offer (like the BBQ or the outdoor bath).

I would certainly recommend the property.
