8/10 Very good

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.

6/10 Good

Room 102. Conveniently located but far too noisy. Woken up at 4am by neighbours using the loo. Not acceptable. Nice bar area and good restaurant. If you have a choice, stay in the older part of the building.

Overall Good Hotel

Good staff and a nice hotel although we found the room quite dark and bathroom dated. However, it was clean and comfortable. Food in the lounge bar was very good. Parking good too and electric charge points available.
Tina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A beautiful setting which was even better in the glorious sunshine we had. Had a fantastic suite overlooking the canal. Tastefully decorated and so much space. Nice meal in the bar which had a lovely atmosphere. So nice to walk around the lakes andby the canal.
Jacqueline Kim, 1-night trip

Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay here exceeded expectations. The room was spacious and very well appointed. The quality of food at dinner & breakfast was first class. The hotels location is idyllic with superbly landscaped grounds. It is dog friendly too. Absolutely faultless.

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!
