The reason I have given only 2stars is that there was no hot water due to the boiler being broken so I could not shower.

The food at breakfast was absolutely delicious,I had fruit to start and there was a large amount to chose from, there was unlimited tea and coffee staff brought my food to the pub part as I was unable to climb the stairs due to my disability, Evening meal was delicious I had chicken fajitas with everything on the plate to add to the meal I Also ordered proper chips which were delicious. The Bed was really really lovely and comfortable and the room was beautiful The staff couldn’t do enough for me and they were all polite and friendly and' I really loved my time at the moorings.

No soap or shampoo in room on arrrival, although shower gel then supplied. Beds very hard. Cooked breakfast tasteless. Staff very friendly and helpful.
COLIN, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Although I was the only resident at the hotel that night I was well catered for. I was disappointed the restaurant was closed but it must have been a quiet night. My breakfast was prepared and left for me and entry instructions to the hotel.

Moorelands hotel and restaurant

Booked on the spur of the moment. Excellent price. Fabulous clean room. Large bathroom with corner bath and powerful shower. Lots of hot water, clean white fluffy towels. We upgraded to King size bed, patio doors to outside decked veranda. Fabulous in the warm weather. Next door to the pub and restaurant. Excellent food, good menu both evening meal and breakfast. Couples only at the moment. Well worth it. Would definitely stay again.

Very enjoyable stay,very comfortable rooms found shower over corner bath a bit of a challenge to stand under comfortably. Staff very friendly, meals exceptional as well as a hearty breakfast
Derek, 2-night trip

A little hidden gem

We had a pleasant stay and the staff were very friendly. Our only issue was we found it cold although the heating was on in the room. We would come back and definitely recommend this little hotel.
Angela, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely clean room and very comfy bed. Plenty tea and coffee in the room and towels. We were in room 2 which has its own decking terrace. The main car park is at the back of the hotel and there are a couple of spaces at the front too but both sides have very close access. We had the full English breakfast both mornings which is not included in the booking price but worth every penny. It really set us up for the day. We're just home after a two night stay and have already booked again for our next visit. I would definitely recommend The Moorings.
