Great for an overnight stop

Stopped here en route to Italy by car. Lovely location, very peaceful. Very pleasant and warm welcome, we were shown us up to our room.Excellent room with all facilities, bed very comfortable. Very good meal, drinks reasonably priced. Good breakfast, however service a little slow. Would definitely come back.

Rob, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!!

4/10 Fair

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.

Nicholas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Manager very polite and show to the room and gave a run down. Food was very good and a fair price for the quality. Room comfortable and spacious. Only downside was not starting until 8am for breakfast which is not ideal for business travellers
