My husband and I have visited the Moorcock several times when we have been walking on the Pennines. The food has always been excellent (my favourite is the cheese and onion pie) and my husband always likes to try a pint of the different ales. We have always found food and service good and the jewel in the crown is... More

Went Saturday evening for my husbands birthday, it was quite empty when we got there. The food came quite quick but was bland the potatoes were just full of lumps, they forgot the onion rings and brought them when my brother in law had eaten his steak. I found the whole experience quite unexceptable really. The staff looked unfriendly and... More

The sweet cabinet looked like all it had in it was... More

Had one overnight stop + full B&B as the optional extra. Very impressed with the overall stay. The Landlord and Landlady were very obliging, even serving breakfast earlier than usual just for us. The breakfast and the previous evening's steak pie could not be faulted and we would recommend both. Good REAL ales and selection of wines. The only down... More

My wife and I stayed at The Moorcock Inn in December 2012. Our room was very warm and cosy and had a private bathroom. The window to our room had a delightful view of the nearby hills and we could spot sheep in the distance. We had breakfast and were treated to the works! We had cereal, sausage, bacon, eggs,... More
