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.

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.

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!

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.

6/10 Good

Take a blanket

Located in easy reach of the M6 The Moat House should be good for an overnight stay. Our first impression was let down in that the room allocated to us was unheated with no way of turning the radiator on. It was very cold. It seems that the heating is timed to come on periodically during the day and that the manager is the only person who can set this and the only person who knows what time it does come on. The receptionist did provide us with a free standing electric heater - which leads you to think this isn't an unusual occurrence. The restaurant has aspirations with a fancy but not very affordable menu. Not fast food but sadly not even quick enough food, a single course took an hour to be served. The breakfast, included in our room rate, was very good. There are lots of steps the hotel is probably not well suited to anyone with mobility problems. There was a large wedding party the night of our stay, which was largely kept to its own areas, but does put stress on the staff we felt.
John, 1-night trip

Edward, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel in beautiful setting, great staff.

Our room had over bath shower not like the one we had booked. We asked for a room with a walk in shower as partner had new knee. Receptionist sorted this for us. The second room didn’t smell of dog. Unfortunately the sheets had spots of blood on - told reception on our way to dinner. Sheets were replaced and a discount of £20 was given. Good quality towels but one with a hole in. Bar staff were excellent and food was good.
