MOAT HOUSE HOTELS Review

My sister had a wedding here in January, absolutely fantastic venue with beautiful views throughout.
Staff were really good.
Would recommend!

Staff were very welcoming and friendly with great service in a great location

Fabulous Weekend. James & Zoe,s wedding 25/11/17. Thanks to both sets of families, & Great Ccompany throughout our stay. To all staff at THE MOAT HOUSE HOTEL you were fantastic!, We thank you ALL. BRIAN (Wheeli) & Mai Sirrell xxxxxxx

A nice country restaurant, with indoor and out door seating. Has both a loung/bar and restaurant. High quality meals for decent prices. Polite staff.

Lovely friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble. Comfortable rooms, nice food.

Had my anniversay stay at this place, really impressed.

Lovely venue and as a photographer a beautiful place for shooting weddings!

We attended for a quick discussion over lunch. We sat outside. Had to go and get the menu ourselves. Our food came out promptly and hot. Good food, reasonably priced. service could have been a little more friendly but wasn't bad. Would definitely eat there again.

Went for an office party, the food was luke warm at best, the servers were spilling food onto the guests. The food was ok nothing special.

We attend a wedding reception and the service was first rate. Nothing appeared to be too much when requested. The room was good, the food likewise and the location and setting beautiful. I highly recommend this location, and the church, which is two minutes by foot, also for a wedding.

Lovely hotel, big comfortable bed and friendly staff couldn't fault a thing.

Very nice hotel with spacious and very comfortable rooms! The restaurant is nice and food is very good!

Lovely venue for a wedding we were attending.
The rooms for the ceremony, breakfast and evening do were lovely and intimate.
The bedrooms are fabulous, big beds and decorated to a fantastic standard all the rooms have an individual feel and are a unique style.
The staff are very helpful and attentive, helping to make our stay and the wedding we attended even more enjoyable.

Went for a viewing for a wedding. Although the venue is beautiful, we found the format of the wedding costs to be very rigid and inflexible(lots of "that's extra"). It may suit others but for ourselves we were not so keen. Place is lovely and very picturesque and worth viewing.

Very nice restaurant.. the best around here by a mile..

Went for the tasting menu experience to celebrate our wedding anniversary, best meal we've had. Service was fantastic.

Stunning pub. The village is amazing and really worth a trip if you're from out of town. The service was a little slow and didn't have the excuse of being overly busy but the staff were friendly. Menu was was just a small one while things get back to normal and serving is conducted outside but the prices and quality was great. Same goes for the drinks. Can't rate the quality of pub enough, outside and in is so nice.

A small group of us were fortunate enough to visit the Moat House in Acton Trussell for afternoon tea recently. The Moat House itself is a deceptively large venue but still retains it's countryside charm. The venue is surrounded by well maintained grounds with a large pond to one side and the canal to another. Ample parking is also available. On arriving at the Moat House we were directed to the restaurant for our afternoon tea. We were politely greeted, shown to our table and offered drinks, all the usual restaurant affair. So far, so good. The traditional afternoon tea: Two of the guests were partaking in traditional afternoon tea. Part of this experience involves the selection of tea from a range of 12. Our host for the afternoon poorly introduced himself and produced a tea sample box containing glass jars with all 12 tea options for the guests to choose from. Now, the idea is to smell each of the teas and make your selection. On the face of it, this may sound a little akward. It very well could have been. But it wasn't. In fact it was one of the most memorable parts of the day. Our host, introduced the teas one by one giving us tasting and smelling hints. Our host was clearly knowledgeable and remained professional whilst using appropriate humour to maker the experience all the better. After selections were made the teas were promptly provided with recommendations to leave brewing for at least three minutes as you should with most teas. Next up were the afternoon teas. These consisted of sandwiches, scones and a selection of cakes and puddings served on a three tier platter. The quality and variety of these was excellent with more than enough for provided for a large lunch. Now, what I haven't mentioned is that one of the two traditional afternoon tea guests is a coeliac. This means no gluten, which, normally means no afternoon tea. Fortunately, the Moat House cater for this and the gluten free afternoon tea was just as full of variety as the gluten containing version. I am reliably informed that the gluten free bread, scones and cakes were excellent. The gentleman's afternoon tea: I was partaking in a gentleman afternoon tea rather than the traditional affair. This means that instead of tea I was introduced to three thirds of real ale. This was followed by a large three layer platter including chips, sausage roll, scotch egg, coleslaw, fish fingers and a yorkie chocolate bar. There was more although the details slip my mind. Again all of this was excellent quality and very filling. After afternoon tea was finished we were offered additional sandwiches, scones or cakes from a trolley of goodies. All being full we refused but the option was there. All in all the Moat House provided excellent food and excellent service in a lovely and relaxed atmosphere. Can't wait to go back soon.

Afternoon Tea birthday treat, beautiful location and the actual tea itself was excellent.

The gardens outside near the pond are lovely. We Sat outside and had a drink which was very nice and peaceful. Inside we had a small room off the restaurant booked which was very nicely decorated. We had a three course meal which was outstanding in quality. The service was really good too, couldn't have asked for more.

Lovely Sunday lunch with family. Good service, hot, tasty food. Nice choice and they are always willing to help with dietary requirements etc. Ver enjoyable.

This is an amazing place. But I full grounds and a good amount of parking.the food and water service is top noch

Great venue for a meeting. Room was nice and lunch was great

Went here for my graduation ball, drinks are expensive but room was very nice. Small dance floor, food wasn't really the best!

My wife & I have stayed at the Moat House many times over the past few years. Service slightly off, but nothing too serious.
Friendly staff, always enjoy our stay.

Excellent food, great service. Perfect for special occasions or for the odd treat.

Great location, fantastic service, a great sitting for a wedding.

What a clean and lovely place and the breakfast was very good would definitely stay there again

Beautiful setting, good was alright, slightly too rich, but beautifully presented and not too long wait on food.

Went for Sunday lunch. The only thing I think to describe it as is mean spirited. Horrendously overpriced bland cheap ingredients. The staff are really nice though and they get my one star. They should spend some time in London to learn More

Great place for drinks. Staff are friendly and nice.

Tucked away in the Staffordshire countryside and friendly service

Great location just off the M6 at Stafford south with an excellent lunchtime menu. Very attentive staff, plenty of parking....and the scotch egg comes highly recommended.
Oh yes....don't forget to bring your wallet!

Me & my partner went The Moat House for a wedding event & stayed overnight. Had driven up from Birmingham & it wasn't a problem getting to get to the venue.
The building was Fantastic. It backs on to the local canal & the grounds were well kept. The room & facilities were great. Also the staff were helpful. The wedding & evening reception was exceptional.
Breakfast was continental but the choice was immense.
Would definitely recommend this hotel not just for the rooms & facilities but if you want to host a function.

Fantastic place went to a wedding reception there food out of this world great venue

Excellent food, lovely room, friendly and helpful staff

Awesome place. Fab quality and great food, never disappoints. Staff are always very friendly.

Two couples away for 24hrs and we loved it. Great location, accommodation, food and drink was delicious. Rooms were recently decorated and we'd stay again for sure. Couldn't find a single fault.

Absolutely stunning place with great food and please tell staff,defiantly return one day

We ate in the restaurant and enjoyed a wonderful 3 course meal. A generous and brilliantly varied menu that impressed everyone. Will definitely visit again and enjoy the hotel's hospitality.

Went for Sunday dinner. It was a great experience throughout. Great service fantastic food and a beautiful location.

Me and my wife have used this beautiful place for several years now always had meals throughout the year always very good
Recently we visited this year I had the turkey which was like rubber .. my wife decides on braised beef..to be honest tasted like a microwave oven... not good enough.. Michelin star restaurant...used to be... traceability..of the beef they couldn't tell me if it was even English...

not as much as I heard, service was nice and good presentation and nice atmosphere but food? I would it is OK Not that impressed

Only had a few drinks there but looking to eat next time. Staff were excellent and couldn't do enough. Kept the log burner going as we sat on the comfortable sofa in front of it.
Lovely setting and beautiful features inside.

An excellent hotel and dinner venue. Couldn't be better.

Only visited for drinks but have heard great things alt the food from friends. Field to the south is available for helicopter arrivals.

Wonderfully clean and presented room. Friendly helpful staff and delicious food.

Very covid secure wonderful setting. Lots of attention to detail. Would recommend the hotel but be aware the noise from the motorway can be quite intrusive

What a beautiful place this is, my daughter recently got married here and i couldn't of chose anywhere better myself, such stunning surroundings, totally out of this world

What a find. Booked for a works do back in October and been back last month for the same. Excellent food and service. Would recommend.

Never disappoints. The meal was delicious and presented beautifully. Especially enjoyed the deconstructed lemon meringue

Excellent food, organisation and service. They have maintained a lovely ambience. I wanted somewhere professional to take my parents out for first in months. Felt completely safe and almost normal apart from staff in black masks and gloves. Recommended even to the most wary. Really lovely

Outstanding service food to die for Room very comfortable excellent all round experience

Fabulous atmosphere in a breathtaking hotel with magnificent scenery.

Really nice place but food wasn't good at all. staff was really struggling with service.

Very pleasant outside area. The bar is quite cousy and has craft beers to try. Restaurant was a big surprise in a positive way, definatelly recommend!!!!

I was there for a conference so didn't get around the local area at all. But it was quiet and picturesque.
My room was on the ground floor, view to the side car park. Lovely size, 2 beds, en suite with bath and shower. Lovely and clean. Friendly helpful staff. ate in the bar. Fish n chips & pint of beer. Staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back. Couldn't fault a thing! Conference facilities also good. Food excellent. Thank you.

quiet place in a rural village. fantastic location for events!

What a find! We had been exhibiting at the NEC all weekend and stopped off on the way home for food. Juat a short drive off the M6 was this hidden gem. The food quality was superb and excellent value for money. We will be sure to call in again next time we are in the area. A must visit!

First time we've been there absolutely loverly meal would recommend it to freinds
