Nice property in a lovely setting. It has a particularly bad problem with flies in the bar and restaurant; so challenging that it became impossible to eat within the building in the evening. A real shame as otherwise this meant for a comfortable stay. Sadly I wouldn’t return for this reason.

We have stayed at the Moat House several times, and always eaten in the restaurant. We have always found the rooms to be spacious, clean and comfortable, and the food in the restaurant, both evening meals and breakfast very good.

Beautiful setting with the canal and lake surrounding the property. Staff were friendly, parking was easy and check-in was painless. Our room was functional, if a little dated but had a strong musty smell which wasn't very pleasant. We only stayed for one night, but slept well as it was quiet and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good, and the food overall was decent.

Perfect location, just off the M6 for travelling further north. We only stayed 1 night but the service was excellent and a lovely area to walk the canal which was close by. The bar was lovely, meals excellent along with the staff. And perfect if you have a dog with you. Just can’t fault it

The hotel is set in beautiful grounds. We stayed in room 119, it was beautifully decorated. I just wish that you could turn a light/lamp to really bright to make reading a book easier. The walls are thin, you can hear everything!! That being said i would stay here again.
