Trout Hotel

the room was spacious and well appointed and overlooked the river derwent. There was ample space to park and the hotel is well located in the centre of the town. We ate at the hotel and it was excellent food. We all enjoyed the evening immensely, some of our team were surprised by the lovely quality of the food. We were well attended by the hotel staff throughout the evening. We will be staying there again very soon

We have been staying at the Trout Hotel twice a year for a good number of years. Although a little expensive it has been a nice place to stay, very handy for the Town Centre with good food and a selection of Real Ale. Not this time , the prices have gone up , there were only a handful of guests staying! The menu was very limited and there was no Real Ale available at the Bar. The ownership changed early last year and since then All the original staff have left! There was only one person in Attendance at Breakfast and two in the Dinning room at night. There were over the years plenty of people in the Bar Lounge area who had come in off the street so to speak, not one this time! Meal wise Breakfast was average to good and in the evening in our opinion the Meals did not meet up to the standards expected for the price paid. The Bedrooms were clean but with a very limited choice on the tea tray. Overall we were very disappointed with our stay and wont be returning unless things greatly improve!

Our experience at the Trout was very different from a lot of the other reviews! The bottom line is that this is a good well run hotel! Staff are friendly and helpful, most are locals and those that aren't still OK. Food good, I would recommend the Chicken Supreme. Breakfast plentiful and tasty. Our room was comfortable with a lovely warm and wide bed. Location good and plenty of parking. God willing we will return!

This hotel has changed so much and not for the better. The food ! not good and that includes breakfast ,never anyone on reception no Wi-Fi , good job l didn’t need to work .our room wasn’t serviced on our last day ( not good enough ) all the staff and chefs have left . We’ve been going to The Trout for 20 yrs we won’t be going back. New management to many changes all about money not about the customer.

The rooms are modern and excellent but thats where it ends. The breakfast portions were rediculously small and the evening meals were poor bar food standard. Where did all the local cumbrian staff go, replaced by poorly trained staff. We have been visitors for many years enjoying a real cumbrian treat, alas this is no longer the case. I doubt we will return...what a loss!

What a shame!! We used to come here regularly and its went down hill big time. Gone are the fantastic and friendly waiters and bar staff, seemingly replaced by unfriendly, unsmiling, poor service imports. Shocking food, prices sky high...we wont be back!!
