Room 102. Conveniently located but far too noisy. Woken up at 4am by neighbours using the loo. Not acceptable. Nice bar area and good restaurant. If you have a choice, stay in the older part of the building.

Take a blanket

Located in easy reach of the M6 The Moat House should be good for an overnight stay. Our first impression was let down in that the room allocated to us was unheated with no way of turning the radiator on. It was very cold. It seems that the heating is timed to come on periodically during the day and that the manager is the only person who can set this and the only person who knows what time it does come on. The receptionist did provide us with a free standing electric heater - which leads you to think this isn't an unusual occurrence. The restaurant has aspirations with a fancy but not very affordable menu. Not fast food but sadly not even quick enough food, a single course took an hour to be served. The breakfast, included in our room rate, was very good. There are lots of steps the hotel is probably not well suited to anyone with mobility problems. There was a large wedding party the night of our stay, which was largely kept to its own areas, but does put stress on the staff we felt.
