Handy for the M6

An attractive large country hotel very close to the M6. Our room was hot and quite noisy from the constant traffic on the motorway so we couldn’t open the windows to cool down. We had a couple of fans which helped but they also made some noise. There seemed to be a shortage of staff : on arrival I had to go quite a way in search of someone to check us in as the reception desk was deserted. Apparently the receptionist had been upstairs preparing a room, although it was 6pm. Our dinner in the restaurant which was very good.

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 .

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.

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!

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.
