I stayed at the Macdonald Tickled Trout Hotel and unfortunately found the room in a poor state—thick dust under the bed, cobwebs, exposed wiring in the corner, and a mouse that ran across the floor and vanished beneath peeling carpet. That said, the woman on reception was fantastic—she was completely understanding, didn’t question my concerns, and immediately issued a full refund, along with free breakfast and parking. No fuss, no pushback—she handled it professionally and with empathy. The hotel clearly has major maintenance and cleanliness issues to fix, but I can’t fault the staff on duty for how they handled it.

"Wouldn't stay here again."

First room I was given stank of cigarettes, second room had missed being decorated in a few years, had melted curtain, jaded and very worn furniture and mold and wooden panel swelling in the bathroom. Third room was ok. Hotel needs a massive refurb.

"Poor Stay"

4.0

So dated and in much need of a make over. Doors banging until 11pm then away at 5am. Room decor and bathrooms need a full refurbishment. The restraint was also dated and overpriced .. My chicken had blood in it and the £12.50 prawn cocktail was a bowl of lettuce with few small prawns on top.
