Historic 17th-century inn in Yorkshire countryside
Rooms
Each guest room at The Tickled Trout Inn carries a name drawn from a Yorkshire river - Ure, Swale, Nidd, or Skell. The interiors pair historic building features with a bathroom that includes a freestanding bathtub and a separate walk-in shower. A decanter of port, fresh milk in the mini fridge, and chocolate treats are provided in every room.
Dining
The on-site restaurant holds an award for its fish and seafood dishes, all prepared with locally sourced ingredients. A wood-fired pizza oven on the premises turns out Neapolitan-style pizzas, and the inn regularly hosts Pizza and Prosecco nights. The kitchen is known for generous portion sizes and a menu that changes with the seasons.
Location
The Tickled Trout Inn sits in the quiet village of Bilton-in-Ainsty, 15 km from York city centre and York Minster. Wetherby Racecourse is a 10-minute drive, and Bramham Park is 17 km away. Scenic walking paths run through the surrounding countryside, and the A1 is close enough for easy access to Harrogate and Leeds.
Breakfast
A complimentary full Yorkshire breakfast is included with every stay, served in a dedicated residents' dining area. The cooked options range from a full English to smoked salmon and scrambled egg, with fresh fruit, yoghurt, and homemade granola available on the continental side. Gluten-free bread is offered on request, and portions are consistently described as 'copious'.
Pet-Friendly
Dogs are welcomed at no extra charge and may accompany guests in the bar area and in designated rooms. The inn provides water bowls and a treat upon arrival, and the surrounding lanes offer quiet walks for morning and evening exercise. Complimentary parking is included, and the beer garden is dog-friendly throughout the year.

“This country inn strikes a fine balance, with food that's consistently praised for both quality and generous portions, making it excellent value. Rooms, like the 'Nidd', are noted for comfort and thoughtful touches, while the staff's friendly efficiency underpins the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It's a place that genuinely feels like a treat, set in peaceful surroundings.”
