The 30 Best Exploring in Walton-on-thames

“The room is large and spotless, the location is excellent loads of pubs, restaurants, and shops on your doorstep. Finally, the staff are incredibly helpful.”

“Stayed 24.11.24 After reading the reviews was really dubious about staying here, but only paying £31 for a night we checked in quite late after spending rhe day in London. On arrival we could smell fresh paint and the reception area was smart and clean. Very friendly chap at check in. We went up to our room (218) and was pleasantly surprised. New TV, freshly decorated. Smart clean and presentable. Our room was at the front and for a Sunday night was quiet and we slept soundly with the window open. Would definitely stay here again.”

“My son attended Caterpillars from age 2, and thrived there. He could talk, spell, read and count by the time he left for school. He really enjoyed his time there and still keeps in touch with staff when passing. I have also sent my daughter to the nursery and she is enjoying it just as much. I feel the staff are great, the activities are varied, I never worry when my child is with them and they have gone above and beyond on many occasions with both children. Great little nursery would recommend :)”

“Very efficient and helpful salesman.”

“Great nursery. Staff is really friendly. Our daughter love it!”

“Very blessed to have this cafe within walking distance for lunch. Rice Cakes 10/10 perfect amount of sweet and spicy. Dumplings Vegan 10/10 Kimchi Jeon 7/10, just my personal preference I prefer kimchi fried rice. Croffle 10/10 The Ade's are a lot of fun. 15-20 mins wait time for food :)”

“The staff know their stuff and are really helpful. It's great to get specific items which are hard to find elsewhere and their prices are competitive when you want good quality items. Some good value deals too.”

“We had a glorious sunny morning for our SUP lesson with Claire who could not have been more helpful. She was on hand with advice and encouragement throughout and quickly had us all up and paddling down the Thames. The equipment felt good quality and safe. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and one I would definitely recommend for all ages. I was a little apprehensive about falling into the Thames but Claire quickly comes to the rescue to help get you back onboard and it's all part of the fun providing entertainment for the local residents and passing rowers! :-) A great morning out on the river!”

“Bigmore Associates came to the rescue for us. We were having troubles porting our existing mortgage and time was against us for securing our new property. We contacted Bigmore and we had Chris assisting us. He was fantastic in ensuring everything was fast moving, very thorough and knowledgable - within a matter of weeks our new mortgage was secured and we exchanged/completed. They nailed it! I would strongly recommend using their services.”

“Got 2 tattoos done by Lucile yesterday. The studio is absolutely lovely—cosy, warm, and super comfortable. The artists, Lucile and Maly, are so professional and talented and make it really easy to feel comfortable there. I’ve had a few tattoos done by Lucile before when she was at another studio, so I knew the work would be amazing, but I’m truly blown away by the results. She took my idea and turned it into my dream tattoo. I truly couldn’t be happier and I recommend Lucile to anyone looking to get tattooed. She can do any style, big or tiny, and she’s super flexible. She’s honestly so talented—definitely the best artist I know!”

“Went for an amazing Jazz Gig - well done this venue for booking such a class act. Great staff in the cafe as well.”

“Fantastic and friendly team, always happy to go the extra mile to ensure that the parts are correct and delivered quickly. Nick Crego always goes the extra mile and I know I can trust him to source things that are sometimes tricky to get hold of. Would Highly recommend”

“Loverly little coffee shop that does a good bacon roll.”

“I celebrated my 50th birthday aboard the Walton Lady, and it was an incredible experience! John and his team were so friendly and professional—everything was perfectly organized and stress-free from start to finish. The boat was spotless and comfortable, and the river cruise from Hampton Court offered stunning views the whole way. My guests and I had an unforgettable time dancing through the Thames. Highly recommend for any special occasion or relaxing day out on the water!”

“I had a wonderful evening celebrating my 60th Birthday on board the Walton Lady...John, Pauline and all the crew were so helpful, kind and professional, all my guests felt well looked after and all enjoyed!”

“A real 'local' very friendly & chatty bar staff. Very realistically priced.”

“Really friendly staff. Came in for few drinks with housemates and will definitely be returning, maybe to even try the food :)”

“Restaurant was booked out but managed to squeeze us in so my son could experience his first Chinese. Service was efficient and with some banter. We had the set menu and added a quarter duck. All the food was great especially the hot starters and the duck. Have always enjoyed takeaway but will dine in more often.”

“I had a Fantastic repairs experience and the service was absolutely brilliant fixed my phone professionally well by rj speedy phone repairs..”

“A lovely little cafe. Ideal for breakfast if staying in nearby hotel”

“I’m not very good at clothes shopping But the sales assistant Billie couldn’t have been anymore helpful. It was like having a personal stylist. She helped me pick out some lovely items and made my whole experience a dream.”

“We stopped for a snack and drinks. We had duck spring rolls which were served beautifully with sweet chilli sauce and salad with a mustard dressing. Probably the best spring rolls I’ve had – thin crispy pastry with a delicious duck filling The drinks were nice. I asked for lime and soda with bitters (where I am used to lemon lime and bitters in Australia) which they accommodated and it was quite delicious. A nice setting good service and a helpful, friendly girl behind the bar. Recommended highly.”

“I bought 12 bottles of wine on your very generous 25% discount special. There was a little error at the checkout. I returned today and 2 most helpful staff members at the customer services counter assisted me. I have to mention Matt who did the recalculations and also Zingy (not sure of the spelling of her name - on duty at 15h onwards). Both were very helpful and made the process go smoothly. They are an asset to Sainsbury's. Thanks Matt and lovely Zingy.”

“The team at Roche Bobois Walton have been so fabulous helping with a recent project in France, as well as more local projects before that. David, Niniya and the rest of the team have been super communicators, incredibly supportive and full of suggestions and ideas. They will continue to be our go to source for furniture, design and inspiration! Thank you team!!”

“We held my granddaughter's 3rd birthday here recently and everyone had such a great time! The weather was kind so the kids could have a play outside and look at the animals. The party tea was plentiful and went down well. Thank you Piglets!”

“Amazing, perfect cannot recommend enough. Great for me and my daughter! Fantastic and amazing teacher! THANK YOU XXX”

“The Village Nursery School is amazing. As soon as we visited for the first time in April, my son was greeted with enthusiasm and care. The other children were eager to meet him, and the carers were supporting him from that first meeting. His interests are considered, and he is able to be outside so much. I am so pleased we found this nursery. We feel very lucky!”
