Ate in the bar bistro today. Chose from the set menu, three courses for £12.95. I had ciabatta, breaded chicken then Eton mess. My boyfriend had soup, pork loin and then apple crumble. Food was hot, beautifully presented. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Not one complaint! The ordinary menu has plenty of alternative selections including a children's menu. I... More

We have stayed here quite a few times now, always in one of the hot tub rooms. The rooms are lovely and well set out. The hot tubs are great when you want something a little special. The food here is always amazing! We booked to stay on New Years Eve and did have a great night however had alot... More

My wife and I were in the bar/restaurant 14.Jan 2012 and ordered fish and chips. The food was served about 5 minutes later. The fish batter was very dark and tasted burnt. The chips were soggy.

Just stayed here for 2 nights. I loved my say here and would recommend it to anyone. It is a few miles out of Chester Le Street, just set on its own. Excellent rooms, excellent food, excellent staff and excellent beer. More

I want to thank all the staff at The Moorings for the fantastic part they played in... More

Stayed on business for one night. Was delighted with my room which included a private patio area and hot tub - unfortunately it was out of use this time but I'll be checking for my next booking. The bed was very comfy, shower nice and powerful and staff friendly and helpful. Quiet location, so no traffic or town centre noise... More

We stayed here for two nights with another couple and I must say we were delighted. The rooms were very clean and organised with a very comfy bed! The owners seemed to pay attention to little details and it works! We ate both nights in the pub, the first night downstairs and second night upstairs. The food on both nights... More

We (husband and me) stayed at The Moorings for one night as we were attending a wedding nearby. The service we received was good, staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and seemed to be fairly recently decorated and whilst the decor was not necessarily to my taste, it was certainly inoffensive and the room, and bed... More
