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.
