  We stayed here on Friday and Saturday evening on the recommendation from some friends. The pub had a roaring fire and warm welcome when we arrived late on Friday night.... read more The room was spacious and the bed was incredibly comfy. The staff at the Half Moon went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we all had an enjoyable time.

Thank you to all the team at the Half Moon!!

PS. The venison steak was one of the best I have ever had!!

  Loved the hotel. The service was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also excellent. It was a little difficult to find (we didn't have a Satnav)... read more and the signs were not so easy to see after dark.

  Friendly staff that let us keep our bikes safe in an out building. Great reasonably priced food, very comfortable and clean accommodation. Maybe the best breakfast that I have ever... read more had! Highly recommended.

  We love our visits to the Half Moon, a beautiful old pub full of character and a cosy atmosphere. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is... read more truly outstanding. A very interesting menu always, superbly cooked and presented and extremely flavoursome and very tasty. I think one of the best places that we enjoy to eat. Thankyou.

  My riding partner booked the Half Moon for an over-night stop having previously stayed here with his wife. We arrived late afternoon and first impressions were very encouraging as this... read more impressive building dominates the square. The main entrance opens straight in to the bar that is furnished with simple but good quality tables and chairs. In one corner was a lovely log stove that gave a welcome warmth and glow to the room. And here you can eat rather than in the adjoining large more formal dining room, but that is also used for breakfast. Anna completed the arrival and registration procedures in a pleasant and professional manner and throughout our short stay made us most welcome. Our rooms 4 & 5 although above the bar and overlooked the square were quiet, furnished, decorated and equipped (complementary refreshments, linen & bathroom accessories) all to a very acceptable standard. The food and menu deserves an additional mention. A very good choice and sensibly priced. Local ingredients and home cooked we chose the pie followed by a crumble dessert. For breakfast there was an excellent choice of soft fruits and my scrambled egg and salmon was a prodigious serving. Finally the room rate that included breakfast represented real value for money. I have every intention of returning in the New Year with my wife. Wonderful experience.

  Booked this short break through Pets Pajamas. On their site it obviously concentrated on the dog facilities. Overall it was a really nice relaxing three night stay. However, we didnt... read more get the impression they were overly enthusiastic about the dog, no welcome doggy pack as promised or doggy treats on the bar. Also when asked about local short walks (Morning + night) it was very vague. We were given the impression we weren't welcome to walk along the river with the dog as there were fishermen. (The Inn sells the licences). We did go along the river on the last morning when they had all left and it was a really enjoyable walk. Don't get me wrong, the staff overall were very helpful and accomodating to us throughout the visit and Wilson got a bit of fuss from some of the staff. I just think there could be a bit of miscommunication between Pets Pajamas and the Inn. For the B+B price you really cannot fault the Half Moon, especially with the huge and tasty breakfast included, the best I've had at any Hotel/Inn stayed at. This was mirrored by the evening fare, really tasty and varied, without the expensive bill. In fact we felt we could have eaten there a couple of more nights due to the variety. Bedroom was large, clean and comfortable in keeping with the age and character of the Inn. If we stay again I would ask for a room in the annex purely to make access easier for the dog.

  As a woman travelling on my own it is very important for me to feel safe and at home away from home. This inn not only made me feel comfortable... read more and safe, it also provided a wonderful community atmosphere where locals commune for a pint and lively conversation. Pub food was very good and there was a decent choice of wines and ales. A lovely wood-burning fireplace kept the room warm and cosy and the smell was intoxicating. I have nothing but good things to say about this inn that was built in the 16th century and has been well-maintained and though not necessarily offering the best Wi-Fi service, it does offer clean and spacious surroundings. This is the kind of inn you read about in magazines and the kind of place that makes you feel at home. I can't say enough about the staff, they were just wonderful to me and made sure I had everything I could need. The inn is situated in the town of Sheepwash that has a very small population of only 300 but is very picturesque and has won awards for its beauty. I can't say I would recommend this inn or town for a young family, however, I highly recommend it for anyone middle-aged or older.

  Superb warm welcome. Due to a 4 hour drive I missed lunch by 10 mins. They VERY kindly made me some anyway (best ham cheese & onion sarnie EVER). Wonderful... read more beautiful clean pub full of charachter. The staff are so sweet & friendly. I stayed in Room 11, in a little house out the back of the pub. Double room, up 1 flight of stairs (FYI if you have mobility issues). Bed duvet and pillows amazingly high quality, made for a lovely afternoon snooze. Dinner was amazing (Pork belly) quality and cost overall outstanding. 1 little shop/post office over the road for essentials. I will be back !
