Great stay

What a lovely surprise this place was. It’s a little dated but was clean and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. We have paid a lot more for a lot less. Room and en-suite were great with a lovely view of the river.

What a great hotel …. Loved our short stay

The personnel were absolutely lovely and helpful. Anne was wonderful and she had organised our meal after the kitchen had closed for a function. Everyone was so cheerful including the morning breakfast staff who were absolutely run off their feet as the hotel was quite full. We loved the whole Fawlty Towers set up :)

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
