Hi. First post on here after 28DL closed, stirling work on this site and I'm pleased to be registered :)

Anyway. The Moota Hotel has been closed for only a few years. It used to be pretty popular, the nightclub used to be the 'in' place to be a few years ago. It is trashed as you might expect. The arsonists have been at the bedrooms too, thankfully a seperate building to the main hotel.
I was surpised to see once well used squash courts here too in its own purpose built building.

I hope you enjoy the pics.

Ha! Moota!

As Viz once said, "A pint and a fight - a great British night"

I remember this place well in it's heyday. One of my mates got into a bit of verbal with someone inside and they followed him out and smashed his car up. I say his car, but it actually belonged to his gran, and a few days later she was looking over the wreckage and found a pool ball in a sock. Nice one.

Does anyone remember the time in the early 90's when someone nicked a JCB from Cockermouth and drove it through the wall, trying to get at the safe?

Incidentally, there was an Italian POW camp here during the war, but I think every trace is gone now. Funnily enough the motel complex had similar architectural values.
