Rooms were great, big, clean and well equipped, the bar and restaurant downstairs were lovely and the food amazing. But what made it was the service from a young chap behind the bar Matt or Mark (forgive me can’t remember), went above and beyond!!

Highly recommend

The Tickled Trout & all the staff provide an amazing place to stay, enjoy & dine. I often stay here for work & always feel warm & welcomed. The food is great as is the service. Rooms are a great size, really comfortable with luxurious extras. Warm in the winter which is always welcomed. Theres also plenty of parking. Theres nothing I don't like about this place & highly recommend it to everyone - don't stay in a charmless chain hotel, stay at the Tuckled Trout for a memorable stay.

Honest review disappointed

Lovely rooms, very friendly staff. Great breakfast, no cereals or cold buffet. The food in the restaurant was very disappointing. After reading previous mixed reviews. Over priced 2 dishes were inedible. Unfortunately the food is no where near as good as it used to be.

Single night stop-over, but will return....

Another relaxing, stress-free stay. As a family we've been very lucky to be able to stay here for a second occasion. The room is spacious, clean and essentially luxurious. The staff are attentive, friendly and polite. The food is fantastic. As a family stop-over it may appear to be a little pricey, but when you consider the location, the luxury, the food, the parking and the hospitality, it's great value. Heartily recommended.

This is nice pub accommodation; room was spacious, clean and with all necessary facilities. For me however, it was far too noisy - road noise was consistently loud and seemed to echo around the room. This is a shame and im not sure what the solution is but if you are a light sleeper, take some ear plugs!.. Food was good, staff great and overall a very friendly place

The best of the best.

My wife and I have been driving around the UK for 2 weeks and found The Tickled Trout to be the best we’ve had. Spotless, The Bed was soo comfortable, Great shower, and the Roast in the restaurant was amazing. We were greeted at check in by Charlie and his female off sider, who both came out to the car park and helped with the baggage. We were taken to our room and shown about. When we went down to the restaurant for dinner, Charlie and the female staff member ( sorry don’t know her name) were there to greet us, and serve our delicious meals and drinks. The friendly atmosphere of the pub is what I will always remember. I cannot recommend this place enough.
