What a fabulous overnight stay at the Tickled Trout. Everything about our stay was spot on! The room was impeccable, clean & with such a comfy huge bed! The friendliness of staff was great and a pleasure to talk to, especially the pub landlord/owner Brandon and the petit Blonde young lady (sorry didn’t get your name) was a pleasure to be served by! All round a top notch pub/hotel with beautiful bedrooms, cared for gardens and good food! Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Tickled Trout. All the staff were really friendly and attentive. Our room was lovely . It was really warm when we were there as it was in the middle of a heatwave. We took a fan with us although they did say there were some available. There was a small window in our room which looked out onto a fairly busy road so could be quite noisy if window was open. Other family members had a room at the back of the pub and they said it was really quiet there. Also worth noting ,in our room there were small steps down from the bathroom which could be a problem for someone if they got up in the middle of the night! ;) Breakfast was really nice as was the evening meal we had when we arrived.

The room was a great size, looked lovely with nice decor, a full size mirror and was very clean. Some nice touches with biscuits and lemon sweets. The bed was very comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is quiet and close by to lots of places to visit. All in all recommended 😊

Lovely stay with very friendly staff. Just for a short while, front of property has scaffolding up while minor exterior decorating is taking place; doesn’t detract from the overall visit though.

We didn't have breakfast there. Bar offered a good choice of drinks. The extractor fan didn't work in the on suite but it was kept very clean. The stairs to the room were quite steep and the doors were very close together making it a little difficult to manoeuvre. The toilet was quite tall so shorter people may find their feet wouldn't touch the floor. The bed was very comfortable.

This has been on our bucket list for years so we finally got here for our 41st anniversary and we weren't disappointed. Our meals were lovely, well presented and very tasty. Our room was lovely, clean and tidy. Staff were excellent, very welcoming and friendly. I also have to mention the Balfour lager, it has a distinctive taste and is way better than all the usual eurofizz generally available. I'd recommend the Trout as a place to stay to explore the local area.

The Tickled Trout — West Farleigh’s Warmest Secret Tucked gently into the rolling green of West Farleigh, The Tickled Trout feels less like a pub and more like a love letter to quintessential Britain. It sits there quietly - cosey, warm, and impossibly inviting - as though the countryside itself decided to give you a hug. Step inside and you’re met not by staff, but by hosts, bright-eyed and brilliantly friendly, the kind of people who make you feel as though you’ve lived here your whole life. There’s a soft murmur of conversation, a clink of glasses, and that unmistakable sense of community, so rare these days, yet alive and well within these walls. And then the food arrives. Not “pub grub,” not even close - this is craft, incredibly good dishes that carry a quiet confidence,as if they know they’ll exceed every expectation long before you lift a fork. It’s the sort of cooking that makes you linger, savouring both the flavour and the moment. Stay the night and you’ll find rooms that are beautifully appointed, thoughtful in every detail, where comfort is woven into the fabric of the place. It feels like waking up inside a postcard - still, serene, and wonderfully British. What surprises most, perhaps, is how all this quality -the warmth, the craft, the welcome - comes at a price far gentler than it deserves. It’s hospitality done properly: generous, genuine, and profound
