The Trooper Inn

Positive. Room was a reasonable price. Unfortunately it only had a bath. I asked for a room with a shower but I was not allowed to change. This room was booked through my business apparently that was the reason I could not change. I had food and this was very average. The squid was obviously from a packet, battered and deep fried. The squid was rubbery. The stroganoff was apparently made that evening unfortunately it didn’t taste like any stroganoff I’d ever tasted. The hoe made sticky toffee pudding was not good at all. I had some wine. That was good and the staff/owner was a pleasant bar man. The bar seemed inviting. My room apart from the bath was good although the coffee machine should have instructions. Unfortunately I would not stay here again unless there were many changes.

Usually closed on a Monday, The Trooper Inn made the right decision to open on a Bank Holiday Monday! I was passing and saw that they were open. Plenty of parking available. Cheerful welcome as I entered, I was served with a smile. Ample choice on the menu, I was easily able to find and order a hearty lunch and sat with my drink at a sunny window table. My delicious lunch was served promptly. A steady stream of passing trade came in after me and as I left more were arriving. I would definitely visit again next time I’m passing the area.

I stayed in this hotel for one evening and had a great stay. Everything was as described, the staff were welcoming, informative and very helpful. The room was really nice and I particularly enjoyed the deep bath after a long drive down from Scotland. I had access to the bar for dinner as well and had a lovely meal. The continental breakfast in the morning was very generous with cereal, bread for toast, yoghurts, breakfast bars, fruit, tea, coffee, fresh orange and much more available. Would definitely stay again if in the area and recommend to others.
