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.

Very dated bedroom, two armchairs in bedroom were very old and in poor condition. The bathroom smelled very damp and foisty, there was lots of mould in the shower cubicle on the ceiling and around the tiles. The bed was comfy and the room was warm and quiet.

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.

Hotel is very tired! Rooms were ok (website photos are very definitely photo shopped!) Rooms were really hot despite the weather not being that hot, there was a fan in the room but that did little to cool the room down. Couldn't open windowsxas bugs/flies were flying around outside. Food was really good including breakfast but the breakfast staff were more interested in hiding round the corner chatting. Coukd be a fantastic venue but definitely needs updating.

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.
