Rubbish Staff, nice breakfast
Very poor nights stay.
The staff (not the guest, the staff!) deemed it acceptable to slam doors and shout down the corridor to each other after 2300 and then again at 0700.
Had quieter nights sleep at a Travellodge.
When I asked why, they were apparently trying to fix the boiler…… Then fix it quietly so you don’t wake my young family at 0700 on a Sunday morning!

Clean and comfortable
Hotel is clean and the room is comfortable and well taken care of. Staff are friendly and helpful. The food was to a reasonable standard but the menu in the bar/restuarant was a bit limited; there was not one salad on the menu - which is what I really wanted. Also there is no gym at the hotel and with the snow yesterday going for a run in the cold and dark on narrow country lanes was not really an option.

Great staff & nice place to stop.
Our second stay at The Moat House, the staff are wonderful, the rooms are spacious, the are dog friendly. The decor is sympathetic to the period building.
A couple of negatives, despite asking for advice I couldn’t get the room warm enough during the night.
The hotel is popular for wedding/ birthday events, unfortunately some other residents aren’t as considerate, who let their children run and down the corridor at 1am. That’s not the hotel’s fault but it did mean we didn’t sleep too well.
Fortunately the excellent breakfast and service helped to make up it
