The Walnut Tree Inn, Northampton

The hotel offers a relaxing stay with a generously appointed room for a soothing bath, but the room appeared small and somewhat worn. The service was obliging but the bar closing early was a drawback. The location, though near Silverstone, was pleasant with live music but hindered by noise from nearby trains. The dining experience was delicious, especially for special occasions. A mix of positives and negatives overall.

The hotel is located right above the bar, close to the A43, and opposite the train tracks. The rooms were a bit old-fashioned in decor and lacked heating in the bathroom, but the bed was comfortable. The service was a mix of very friendly and brusque encounters. You definitely need a car to get around due to the noisy main railway line nearby. Dining was pleasant with cooked-to-order meals and decent breakfast options. The facilities were adequate but a bit dated.

The hotel is situated among the Grand Union Canals, offering a great area full of interest for any traveler. The rooms, although very clean, may not accommodate 3 average adults comfortably due to limited space. The staff is exceptionally conscientious and passionate about their roles, enhancing the overall experience. The location is convenient for those with a car due to the proximity to Silverstone race circuit and short commute to Milton Keynes.
