Moresby Hall - Copeland

I would highly recommend Moresby Hall. The owners were extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. As a wheelchair user, I was initially concerned about the accessibility of this grade 1 listed building. However, they exceeded our expectations by providing a well-thought-out, accessible apartment on the ground floor with all the necessary aids. The apartment was not only functional but also beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jane and David, the owners, were welcoming, friendly, and made a modification to the front door to accommodate my wheelchair. The breakfast was fantastic, with a great selection to choose from and hot food made to order. It was one of the best breakfasts I've had, and far superior to the buffet-style English breakfast. The weekend flew by, and I wish we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend this beautiful hall, as it will not disappoint.

Expensive food and no better than wetherspoons. Presentation non existent. As the saying goes 'if you don 't ask you don 't get ' well even when you ask here you don 't get.

We made a last minute reservation for a business dinner for four people and we weren't disappointed with the food which was outstanding but running commentary from the kitchen which we endured throughout dinner was very disappointing and not necessary. On arriving and whilst waiting for our guests we were shown to a drawing room which looked as if it had been recently renovated which was delightful. Our guests arrived and we were given menus and the Chef came out and told us about his specials which all sounded wonderful. Orders taken, we were then seated in the restaurant and shortly afterwards our starters were served by the waitress and Chef with a commentary from him of what we were about to eat, the Chef then came out again to check we were happy with our starters which I must add were delicious and empty plates went back to the kitchen he then came out again and asked if we enjoyed the starter. Our mains were served by both the waitress and the chef who again told us about what we were about to eat, he then came out again whilst we were eating to see if all was well with our meals I must add again the food was absolutely delicious and empty plates went back to the kitchen. Before we gave our order to the waitress the Chef came out again to tell us about the Lemon tart recipe etc and then the waitress came and took the order. Desserts were delivered by both the Chef and Waitress and again we were told about the desserts and he then came out again to ask if we enjoyed the desserts. The running commentary from the chef throughout the meal had now for me become very uncomfortable and especially for our potential clients. I am the first to say the food we ate was outstanding and I applaud your chef and his passion which he obviously wants to share, however we were paying customers having a business dinner with potential clients and to be interrupted at least 5 6 times at least by a chef just isn't acceptable in any restaurant. I would also add that the restaurant only had 3 other tables of diners so was not overly busy. Would we come back yes the food was delicious but I would suggest less conservation with diners from the kitchen once specials have been explained and orders have been placed. I have put service as poor as the constant interruptions spoilt our business dining experience. Yours sincerely Bernie Maloney

From the first warm welcome to the crisp just perfectly chilled Chardonnay I knew instinctively we had dropped on a winner and boy had we. The food is gorgeous, the presentation a visual delight. The Chef Damian one to watch on the ascent. Had a glorious evening beautifully guided by our hostess Jane, who’s driving motivation was to ensure we had a rich night, abundant with hospitality and fantastically well executed food

Went for a family meal and we were absolutely amazed and surprised at the quality of food and service provided. Contributed by an absolutely beautiful building and grounds. Owner allowed us to have a look around the rooms and they have kept the style of the place in the rooms including for poster beds etc. Rooms are on the very large size and well presented. XXXXX 5STARS
