Amber Sent on 15/04/2026The perfect day which just kept getting better!
Honestly, I cannot find a fault. We booked the Moat around 2 years before our wedding date, booked from a Wedding Showcase. Sat down with Amanda and spoke through what we wanted, paid the deposit and walked out with huge smiles on our face.
When I tell you that smile still hasn't stopped.
We got assigned Aimee for our wedding and oh my gosh she is just amazing. Constant check ins, made us feel sure in our decisions and if we needed too face to face meetings. She truly is such a lovely person and really made this whole experience a lot less stressful.
We got reminders when we needed to pay, had a food trial & exclusive evening events where we could take our parents so they can see the venue.
On the day I stayed in the room the night before (this is dependant on if there is a wedding the day before/events etc, you'll find out 3 months before the wedding) where I stayed with my mum and 2 bridesmaids. We went for a meal in the restaurant the night before with my dad, brother and our little dog (who always loves coming with us) where we really enjoyed ourselves! Then back to the room to start wedding prep! The rooms are just gorgeous, the door that opens through was perfect. It was the perfect get ready spot, everyone felt comfortable and cared for. We had yoghurt, fruit and granola in the fridge ready for the morning, water and orange juice too. Which is a nice touch.
Aimee came in and checked on us around every hour and a half/two hours to make sure we had everything we needed. She is just a natural at this kind of stuff, coming in & having a little dance with us to help calm nerves. She helped with the first look and made sure the photographer got the perfect angles!
Then the wedding time came, all the guests went into the ceremony room, my bridesmaids & myself in the tap room ready to walk down the isle. A quick pep talk from the staff & Aimee and off we went. Music was timed perfect, my dress was fluffed before I walked down which I didn't even think of doing & we got married!
After the ceremony, we went back up to the tap room & got our first drinks as a married couple handed to us. Which were just perfect, they were exactly what we needed. Our guests were so happy with the service of the bar staff who seemed to just love their jobs!
After our drinks reception we went back down to the ceremony room for our wedding breakfast which was beautifully laid out by the team there, the food was served promptly. I cannot fault anything with the service, the food was delicious, Miles was always around with bottles of wine to top up ensured everyone always had a drink, served with a huge smile! Speeches came & the microphone came out, even that was perfect - we had a little fault with one of them but was seamlessly swapped over for a new mic!
Once food was done it was dancing time, the in house DJ they have Carl is also Amazing! Made sure we had music played that we wanted, but when I tell you our dance floor was NEVER empty - I mean it!
We danced our hearts out, had fun and shared love with the entire room.
Once it was all over, we went back to our rooms for the night. Then up for breakfast with our guests the next morning, which was also, amazing.
I think the one thing you have to take out of this review is that I genuinely cannot find any faults, it was the perfect day. From the staff, to the venue, to the food, every single little thing was perfect.
Thank you to Aimee and the team at The Moat for making our day, just so perfect. I keep getting people raving about it and that is due to your service and delivery, thank you. -

The perfect venue
We recently celebrated our wedding at this incredible venue, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing.
A huge thank you to our wedding coordinator, Aimee, who was simply fantastic. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and that the day ran smoothly. Her support, organisation, and calm presence made such a difference and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment.
The venue itself was stunning, beautifully presented and the perfect setting for our special day. The food was completely out of this world, with so many of our guests commenting on how delicious everything was.
We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough. It truly made our wedding day unforgettable! -

We had our wedding at The Moat in February, and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The entire planning process was incredibly smooth and stress free.
The accommodation was spotless and offered the perfect space to get ready. The Barn and Tap Room are truly stunning, such beautiful spaces that created the most gorgeous backdrop for our photos.
We had a completely 100% gluten-free wedding, and WOW, the food exceeded all expectations! Every guest was raving about it. The quality, taste, portion sizes, and service were all exceptional. We’ll definitely be back just for the food!
The staff were absolutely brilliant, so friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the day. You helped make our day truly unforgettable.
Thank you all for creating such a special and perfect wedding day for us! -

The Best Wedding Day
We recently held our wedding at The Moat & Tap House and couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the initial planning to the big day, the team was incredibly accommodating, ensuring every detail was perfect. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch. Our guests are still raving about how wonderful everything was. If you're looking for a charming and professional venue for a special occasion, we highly recommend them!

The Perfect Twilight Wedding
Absolutely perfect in every way! We honestly can’t say thank you enough. We got married at the end of November, and from start to finish our entire wedding experience was nothing short of amazing. The venue itself is stunning and provided the most cosy, beautiful setting for our Twilight wedding.
The team at The Moat were incredible and so accommodating throughout the whole journey. Every single member of staff went above and beyond to make sure we, and all of our guests, felt truly looked after.
Aimie, our wedding planner, was fantastic. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Ellie, Myles, and Chris were the dream team — they made us and our guests feel so welcome, kept the drinks flowing, and ensured everyone knew exactly what was happening throughout the day.
The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and luxurious. The staff were happy, professional, and friendly. The food by Laura was absolutely to die for, and Carl’s music was AMAZING — he completely set the vibe for the evening. To top it all off, the Barn and Tap Room are simply beautiful.
We truly had the best day and wish we could do it all over again. We cannot recommend this beautiful venue highly enough — the staff at The Moat and the wedding team are what make it so special.
It really was a day to remember, and we are forever grateful.
Thank you again,
Georgina & Craig ♥️ -

Wedding March 2024
Amazing venue. All the staff were absolutely incredible and absolute pros at what they do. They took our vision (from very minimal photos we provided) and made it happen seamlessly. They allowed whatever adjustments we wanted for example let us add a scotch egg to the starters which wasn’t on the list! They made us feel so relaxed and nothing felt like too much of an ask. If any issues happened we wouldn’t haven’t known about it as they would have just dealt with it. The food was absolutely incredible and the accommodation clean and modern. Could not recommend this venue and the team enough! -

When our search for a wedding venue began we had looked at a few venues prior to going to the Moat, as soon as we attended our consultation appointment we both fell in love with the room and how warm and cozy it felt.
The booking process from start to finish was straightforward and communication was good and we felt confident that any questions we asked were always addressed.
Down to the big day, our wedding planner was Aimie, and wow what can we say, she was simply AMAZING. The organisation was just incredible, she was there every step of the way, even helping to tie up bows and flower corsages. She did not stop from first thing on the morning until late at night, even our guests commented how good she was, she is a true credit to your team.
We visit the Moat often for lunch or dinner so we knew the food would be good, what we hadn’t expected was how fantastic the service would be with silver glove service. Months later our guests are still praising it all.
If only we could do it all again, well done Team Moat
Love
Alison & Martin

I viewed the Moat as a wedding venue and instantly fell in love with the barn / function room and rooms to sleep bridal party. The venue is beautiful and has everything you need.
However the main reason you should have your wedding at the Moat is because of Aimee. Aimee was our wedding coordinator and we couldn’t have asked for better, she is funny, kind, caring, thoughtful and on the ball. She went above and beyond to make sure, not only us as bride and groom, but every single one of our guests was happy. The set up she created for our cake table and guest book area was amazing, more than I ever could have dreamt of. As the bride having to hand over the control to someone else made me anxious but Aimee was reassuring and exceeded my expectations by miles, she done everything better than I ever imagined. She is amazing and a credit to the Moat. If you want a smooth organised beautiful amazing wedding day have it at the Moat!
Thank you Aimee! -

Wedding - 22nd August 2025!
Wow Wow Wow!!!! The Moat was everything we wanted and more!!! I don’t even know where to start we had the most perfect day! Myself and my bridesmaids stayed the night before in the most stunning rooms and were met in the morning with some much needed breakfast! Aimie was in and out checking we had everything we needed whilst ensuring the venue was set up exactly how we wanted - the food was amazing and everyone of our guests complemented it, we were so surprised on the day to also find we had exclusive hire of the garden included which was perfect in the stunning weather!!! The staff from start to finish were amazing! The day ran so smoothly! Aimie was just amazing with the run up to the wedding and on the day we cannot thank her enough!!!! If we could give more than 5 stars we definitely would! Thank you all so much again!!!! -
