I sometimes wonder if I stay in the same place as other people reveiwing the same hotel? Sometimes it's to do with expectations so..... My husband and I use this hotel when visiting family in Blackpool and it is incredibly close to major roads - so in this respect it does have a 'Motel' feel about it. Having said that... more

Stayed earlier this week, midweek for one night. Hotel was comfortable, room well decorated, bathroom and room were clean. Room was very warm at night, but still managed to sleep. Arrived by taxi and couldn't see anything within walking distance, except the petrol station next door. Wireless internet was available, varying signal strengths, through T-mobile for a small charge.

Dear Sir/madam, Thank you for taking the time to comment on your stay here at the Tickled Trout Hotel. I was glad to read you enjoyed the services provided as that is always our aim. The hot water issue was due to a mechanical fault which was fixed within 1.5 hours but it took time for the boilers to re-heat....

Stayed at this Hotel because of a last minute change of plans and booked on laterooms for £76 B & B. I specifically booked this Hotel because it is 200 yards from the M6 and being a MacDonald I expected it to be of a fairly high standard- how wrong I was. The rooms and restaurant are dated and require... more

My wife & I stopped after a long car journey looking for a nice meal & drink in a clean, friendly hotel. We got all of these but I would have swapped it all to have been able to sleep! The heat in the corridors and bedrooms was overpowering. We contacted reception about the heat and were told that it... more

Dear Sir, Many thanks for taking the time to comment on your stay here at the tickled Trout Hotel. I am glad to read that you enjoyed a clean and friendly hotel but concerened about the oppressive heat. Upon investigation, after a routine service of our boilers which are located under the bedrooms, the timing clock for some reason made...

Once a popular destination, the Tickled Trout is in dire need of a refurb. The rooms are OK, but the main areas are very poor. In the evening, at the bar, the staff are stressed an argue amongst themselves. Breakfast was really good, the staff were really charming. For me, checkout was a disaster. 14 minutes queueing. I know that... more

I'm really sorry to have to write such a negative review but this was a truly horrible experience. Initially I drove straight past the hotel, despite my satnav telling me to turn in, because I couldn't believe that the big red sign saying HOTEL on the side could honestly be a MacDonald hotel!! From the outside it looks like a... more

We were in need of a convenient one night break for a longer journey south. As I have a Macdonalds reward card I looked for a reasonably priced hotel in the Preston area and the Tickled Trout came up on the search - being right on a motorway junction was a bonus. As it was only about £20 more than... more

Stayed at the Tickled Trout for one night on the way to the Windermere Air Show and even though we managed to get a good discount there are many things wrong with the Tickled Trout. Firsty the outside needs a good tidy up and the smoking area by the entrance to the reception area looked as if fifteen chain smokers... more

Stayed two nights in the MacDonald Tickle Trout to attend a nearby wedding. Got what appeared to be a good rate arranged for the wedding guests, however, the outside areas surrounding the windows were covered in spiders nest, insects, cobwebs etc. The staff were polite and friendly, the bedrooms were clean, yet you couldn't open the bedroom windows due to... more
