We chose this hotel because it was the middle for both parties to reach in the country. The hotel was nice the room was spacious & tidy. The bed was comfy the pillows were far too hard. However there is spare ones in the wardrobe. They was supposed to replenish our room the following morning but missed the glasses the water etc. a quick chat at reception rectified it. The pub was nice with a a real fire & if you ask them to re light it they do. The staff were very friendly. The food was of very good quality the chunky chips were plentyful we had two meals in the bar area & all four of us were very happy with our meals. A little over priced. The breakfast wasn’t up to a great standard. It should not be of average for a lovely hotel. Coffee & tea cold fresh orange wasn’t great. The eggs needed to be cooked with so much less grease, the scrambled eggs were horrible. The bacon not done enough. I could go on. There wasn’t a great choice if you didn’t want the full English. A shout out to the young lady serving us called Millie. She was lovely.

Our seventh stay at the Moat House. So nice to see familiar faces as this shows the MH retains staff. Friendly reception staff, bar staff and attentive restaurant staff. A particular mention for Alex in the bar and Amy in the restaurant please. We were surprised on our return to the room on day 2 that it had not been serviced. We were told that we should have put a sign out requesting service. This was new to us and ought to have been mentioned on check in. We could not redeem our LP points on checkout as, apparently, we can only do this ‘at the till’. As everything went on one tab and we didn’t pay either at the bar or in the restaurant this appeared to be rather petty and irritating. Apart from the above of course we will stay again. The restaurant is wonderful with skilled chefs respecting the food and mindful of their customers.

Close to the M6 The Moat House makes for a lovely staging post. Restaurant specialises in steaks. It’s stylish and popular with locals so booking is important. The hotel is an upgraded historical lodge and has stylish decor throughout. The room was spacious and comfortable. My only mild disappointment was the breakfast was a bit small. Overall strongly recommended.

Super stay, our third visit. The team are always so welcoming. A couple of bits that could have been improved on.... the heating turned on in my room before my arrival. There were a couple of small issues but the hotel was happy to put right had I asked.

After a long journey we were welcomed warmly. Our booking for dinner in the bar was good and food great. White wine could have been more chilled.

The room was pleasant and quiet. The staff had bent over backwards to give us a ground floor in order to accommodate our disabled grandchild. Very nice area.

A lovely peaceful place with its own moat and fishpond as well as a working canal behind it. Dog friendly, with a dog bed and bowls supplied. My second visit with my two dogs.

First time staying at the Moat House. We had an unexpected room upgrade and we ended up in the Pagent suite which is a beautiful room with patio doors that lead onto the side of the canal. All of the encountered were very friendly but also professional. We had our evening dinner in the restaurant and the food was fabulous. This hotel is a gem. We will definitely go back.
