  A must place to stay and very good value. Nice staff and lovely food.

Stayed here a few times and everytime it's lovely. Service is good, food is great (especially if tou do the taster menu evenings. This was not on this time but the food was great). Plenty of parking. Great outdoor space (when weather allows) for relaxing and having a beverage. Room was comfy and the bed was huge.

  Great place to stay

We wanted somewhere nice for a short break and were delighted with the Moat House. The hotel is comfortable, staff are great and the location is simply stunning. They also have a really good restaurant. I’d be very happy to come back.
