We went with 10 friends to stay at this hotel for the second time to attend the New Year's Eve party, and had a wonderful time from arrival to departure. The hotel is so conveniently situated just off jcn13 of the M6 nr Stafford, which is brilliant if you are looking for an overnight stop on the way north or... More

We have a family Christmas lunch in a private room at the Moat House, Acton Trussell every year and always enjoy ourselves there. We originally picked it because of its location which is not far from the M6 near Stafford and a central point for our family to meet & exchange Christmas presents as we live in different parts of...

We had our wedding reception here 20 years ago and the Moat House was very impressive then. As we have returned over the years it has been quite amazing to see how it has developed to become one of the most stunning hotels in Stafford. You can enjoy the tranquility of the canal walks and soon feel in the heart... More

I love your review, but don't at the same time like being reminded that we've being building this business for so many years (since 1988) so yes it has grown significantly, but has still kept its family feel in many ways. We continue to develop our business and our team with our regular customers who have supported us over the... More

A party of 8 of us went for our Christmas Party - overnight stay with meal in the restaurant - we could not fault it from booking through to departure - absolutely superb. Our rooms were exceptionally comfortable, we then enjoyed pre-dinner drinks in the bar dispensed by professionals and with those all important touches like lime squeezed into the... More

Great to get a review like this, certainly brings a smile to all our faces after all the efforts we put into our Christmas at The Moat House. Your review reinforces the fact that running a hotel is a team effort, not dependent upon the actions of one person, but of all. Thanks for telling others that we did a... More

Stayed at the hotel after a function and enjoyed a comfortable nights sleep in a well appointed hotel. Reception was freindly and helpful. Breakfast well presented with above average cooking. Close to M^ junction 13 so it is a useful place to stay if you want to avoid the chain hotels scattered around motorway junctions. More

Lou Johnson Thanks for your review, The Moat House is lucky to be in a village location, but just 3 minutes drive from J13 of the M6 motorway, so as you say we are different to many of the chain hotels scattered around motorway junctions. I'll pass on your feedback to all of our team Chris Lewis Owner More

Short and sweet.....if your visiting the area I would certainly recommend this hotel. Why? Firstly when you negotiate the drive you can't help but be impressed by the look of the building, especially in the evening when fairy lights illuminate the trees! Secondly, the staff are a credit to the hotel....everybody is cheerful and helpful. Thirdly the rooms are clean,... More

I've not stayed at the Moat House for around 3 years so was quite looking forward to returning. The room was excellent, food good and lots of choice of beers at the bar. The highlight of the stay had to be the breakfast - good variety and well cooked and the newly refurbished restaurant looks great. I'll be back soon... More

I'm from Texas and stayed here while on business in Wolverhampton in February. I'm glad I did. Not that bad a drive in the morning or evening. Much better than a chain hotel in my opinion.
