Overnight stay at the Tickled Trout after a nearby wedding. Lovely old building We arrived before check in time and although we couldn’t get in the room, staff checked us in and took our bags to the room. Lovely comfy bed and bedding. Great bathroom. We opted to have the breakfast and it was very tasty. Overall a lovely place to stay and we will return.

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.
