Great bar area and we ate from that menu rather than the main restaurant. Good quality staff throughout aside from the breakfast team who , unfortunately , were somewhat off the pace during all 3 days of our stay .

Loved everything about The Moat House; the house and grounds were lovely, the room had everything we needed, the food, the breakfast, bar snack and evening meal where perfect and the staff couldn't have been more pleasant.What we loved the most was all the little places you could find to just sit outside, beside the water and also that for breakfast and evening meal you were looking out onto water again. We will definitely come again and highly recommend it. Thankyou for our stay.
