Customer Review Summary
Stays get a mixed but mostly positive reaction. Rooms are called adequate and clean, with a nice bathroom, and the car park is described as large and free. One guest notes the accommodation sits in a separate annex down steps from the restaurant, and another says the hotel reception is not staffed, so check-in happens in the pub, where one reviewer found the bar very quiet.

“We didn't stay overnight, just went for a meal. The food is excellent, very tasty and perfect comfort food. Their 2 for £18 menu is fantastic; Mince & Dumplings, Liver & Bacon, Roast of the Day and more... just fabulous, wholesome food. …”

“Attended a 65th birthday meal, there was maybe 16 of us dining in the upstairs room, an area set aside for us, our meals had been pre-ordered, the cleanliness & decor of this upstairs area is nothing short of impressive, same can be said for the staff we encountered throughout our time, so very polite and professional & appear to be happy staff. I explained to one member how it had been at least 30 years since I had been to this pub & when I am next in the area I will definitely return as the food was very nice & plentiful, no complaints from any if our little party, give yourselves a well deserved pat on the back because other establishments could definitely learn a thing or two by visiting The Moorings.”
