Guests say
The Moat House is a beautifully presented, spacious cottage in a tranquil rural setting, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Guests consistently praise its cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and the fantastic hot tub and games barn. The peaceful location, abundant wildlife, and thoughtful touches create a welcoming atmosphere. While the remote setting means a car is essential and some found the beds or sofas less comfortable, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests returning for repeat stays.
Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with guests describing the property as spotless, immaculate, and maintained to a high standard. Only one mention of carpet stains was noted, but this was a minor exception.
The location is praised for its peace, privacy, and beautiful countryside views. Its remoteness is valued by most, though some note the need for a car and the absence of local shops. Directions and signage could be improved.
Guests generally find the cottage spacious, cosy, and comfortable, with many positive comments about the beds and warmth. A few mention hard mattresses or less comfortable sofas, but these are minor compared to the overall comfort.
Facilities are a standout feature, with the hot tub and games barn receiving consistent praise. The property is well-equipped for cooking and relaxation, with extras like towels, cleaning products, and entertainment options.
Many guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome packs, extra towels, and festive decorations. While these gestures are warmly received, please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

A great location, fantastic building, separate hot tub and games room was very inviting and relaxing. Plenty of parking and lots of outdoor space to relax and enjoy.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is very nice and the barn with the hot tub and games was popular. We did however find the WiFi quite bad. When we streamed sport the picture was quite bad. Also the double bedroom with the inside window could do with a blind on it as there isn’t one on the landing. There were lots interesting places to visit nearby.

A lovely spacious cottage in a quiet secluded location, with lots of places to visit within an hours drive. Barn playroom is a great addition for all the family.
