mixed feelings about the stay
old mattress inexperienced staff
the location was rural, perfect for nearby walks.
The mattress was not comfortable. i could feel the springs digging into me, and it sloped when i lay on it. the service lacked charm. The customer-facing staff seemed young and inexperienced.

comfy beds quality furnishings excellent wine
The Walnut House had very comfy beds. High quality furnishings were present. The air conditioning was powerful and quiet. Dinner was excellent. Everyone enjoyed starters, mains, and desserts. The wine menu seemed particularly excellent. High end Bordeaux with good vintages were available.
A bedside light was not working and probably needed a new bulb.
