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.

Good hotel

Overall a good stay. Food was mostly good, cooked breakfast items were good quality. The grill night meal was excellent value and good quality, although we were told initially there were no table’s available (staff were helpful in finding us one). Reception were helpful and friendly. Minor improvements could be made to make this hotel outstanding; 1)Too many Flies in bar area 2) pillows extremely hard 3) maintenance needed to some slabs and greenery cutting back to make it easier for disabled people 4) service at breakfast could be more attentive, although staff were friendly and helpful We have stayed before and will be staying again as this is a very good hotel.

What a gem!

What a gorgeous hotel. We stayed one night in a family room, absolutely fabulous. The rooms are spacious and clean with everything you need. We ate in the bar and the food was scrumptious. The service was friendly and nothing too much trouble. The location is beautiful and quaint and very quiet. Special thank you to our check in lady who was more than helpful and accommodating.

Fly infestation

The overall hotel was very nice but there is a terrible problem with flies. In the restaurant, bar and even the rooms. I’m sure they could have done more to rectify this. Whilst dinning on the Friday it was really difficult to eat without flies landing on food. The fish and chips were not the best too. Even at breakfast we had to cover our drinks and plates due to a fly infestation

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.

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.
