Easy check in (special mention to Stacey on reception) who sorted our room issue with no problem whatsoever she was a star, stayed in superior room looking out to the canal very spacious & airy couldn’t fault it, food was delicious & plentiful & drinks reasonably priced for a hotel, surroundings were lovely outside sat by the lake with drinks was very chilled & having the ducks as company was a bonus we will definitely return Alan & Pam Runcorn.

David

Would have liked a cooked breakfast at 06:30, but had to settle for a continental as hot meal service does not start until 07:00, which was too late for me as I needed to leave for my appointment at 07:10. 4 pillows supplied all as hard as bricks, very uncomfortable, not a good nights sleep. Rest of the hotel was fine from what I saw.

Comfortable Rooms - Good Restaurants

We stayed at the Moat House on our way up north and again on our way back south. Both times were a great experience. The rooms are very comfortable with good showers - all our requests were catered to. My husband left his electric shaver behind and they are sending it back to us. We were not looking for formal dining in the main restaurant and The Bar Lounge menu turned out to be very good - special mention on the Mackerel Rillettes starter!! Head Chef James Cracknell was sent our grateful thanks for a delicious dish. Breakfast was also very good - it's not easy to get good scrambled eggs at a buffet, but we did - both times. Can highly recommend the hotel and restaurant - we hope to return!
