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.

Eye convenient. One member of staff was just lovely she couldn’t have done more to help so friendly. Another was really unfriendly and very moody. I felt as though I was a pain for being there. Breakfast was ok, poached eggs hard and tasted of vinegar.

Nice historic gastropub with good sized rooms
Nice gastropub with decent sized, well decorated rooms above. However bathroom sliding door was dangerous. Once closed couldn't be opened by one person as sticking on carpet. Had to leave it open during one night stay. Evening meal food was good and well presented. Evening staff were polite but had to be reminded about items ordered. Staff at checkout were disbelieving about problems with bathroom door, and offered no apology or compensation. Have stayed before. Unlikely to return.
