“Excellent hotel”

Beautiful hotel on a river valley. Doesn't look like much from the outside but the hotel interior is very nice and the rooms were excellent. Service was very good and obliging. We only stayed one night but it definitely was a place we would return to.

“Didn't tickle my fancy!!!!!”

Firstly, the hotel is not sign posted as being in the service area so we did a detour looking for it. Secondly, on arrival the receptionist booked us in as "room only" even though we had paid for B&B. He failed to pass on a telephone message that had been left for us. On booking out, he tried to charge us for our room even though we had pre-paid. Thirdly, we had asked for a ground floor room, or one near to the lifts, as my wife has problems with stairs. Our room was "either up or down five steps" which was inconvenient. The bath in the room was not "disabled friendly" and my wife had to be helped in and out. We had chosen the Tickled Trout as we planned meeting up with a friend who had flown in from Canada; we'd flown from Cyprus. However, our friend's accommodation was changed to the Marriot, further up the motorway, and the message we never received was to tell us that. Because it was not passed on, we missed our dinner meeting and only arrived in time for a drink. Overall, we are not satisfied with the service we received and would NOT recommend the Tickled Trout to any of our friends.
