Macdonald Tickled Trout Hotel

Breakfast excellent, room a lot bigger than expected and staff we all helpful and friendly.

they had no guinness zero, and only 2 bottles of alcohol free larger, would expect the bar to be better stocked than it was.

As a business user the Tickled Trout Hotel adequately provides for all my requirements. Location, parking, excellent friendly staff, clean comfortable rooms and a consistently good restaurant. I will be visiting again very soon.

It’s clean and quiet

It’s perfect

All round good

Stayed here about 5 years ago and as I had business nearby seemed the right choice.. however, the rooms are neglected. Dust everywhere, skirting, TV, curtains and pelmet.. obviously not seen a Hoover in many months.. bathroom is quite small and who decided to put the loo so damned close to the wall?? You need to be a contortionist to wipe! Hairs in the sink and some sort of substance around the plug hole? Window over rider not secured to the window and quite a bit of road noise from M6. Food and drink is actually decent quality (except the chips as more like soggy raosties) but very high cost. Reduction on the portion size perhaps to bring costs back inline? First negative review I have had to leave in a long time. Would only come back if it was brought back to standard of previous years. Such a shame as it’s a lovely location next to the river with convenient links to the motorway and for Lake District.

Location

Very tired, needs a renovation., the bathroom smelt of damp. No ambiance in the restaurant, didn’t even have Prosecco or any sparkling wine available.
