We only stayed for one night to break up a journey to Liverpool so didn't see everything the hotel had to offer. Bar staff were particularly impressive - efficient and attentive even though there were a lot of customers and a wedding reception going on too. A pleasant place to stay.

After a long journey we were welcomed warmly. Our booking for dinner in the bar was good and food great. White wine could have been more chilled.

Close to the M6 The Moat House makes for a lovely staging post. Restaurant specialises in steaks. It’s stylish and popular with locals so booking is important. The hotel is an upgraded historical lodge and has stylish decor throughout. The room was spacious and comfortable. My only mild disappointment was the breakfast was a bit small. Overall strongly recommended.

The room was pleasant and quiet. The staff had bent over backwards to give us a ground floor in order to accommodate our disabled grandchild. Very nice area.
