Just spent another 3 nights at the Half Moon, like my previous visit the food was excellent, the beer great and the staff friendly and most helpful. I stayed in room 12 which was clean and spacious. The service and value was so good we didn't venture out to see the rest of Sherborne. I look forward to my next... More

Went in for dinner, as we had to gt something and was first place we found open. After eating the dinners, calling the fish pie fishy, should be held under the trade descriptions act. The dep fried fish should be called burnt, that said the chicken and beef burgers were ok, hence the 2 star rating. A few miles out... More

We stayed here last week and I have to admit I never wish to visit the place again. Although the room was in relatively good shape the restaurant was untidy and dirty. Customer service was non existent needless to say the customer satisfaction was also. We witnessed a lot of other customers complaining also. The staff are very rude, the... More

I visited this pub a few years ago with some friends and had a pleasant experience. I recently returned with my family on a quite Monday night for an evening meal, Quite was exactly what we got! It took an eternity to get any service but we were eventually seated. When our food arrived the starter and main course arrived... More

I stayed at the Half Moon on a Friday night in December for a Christmas party. The room was large, with a double and a single bed, and the bathroom was large with a separate shower cubicle and jacuzzi bath. The room was perfectly adequate and all seemed to work and be clean. Breakfast was included in the price and... More

I really cannot relate to those negative reviews of this hotel on here, as we have had nothing but good service from the staff, clean, and nice rooms, and decent food! We booked two nights for a friend's birthday (two couples) and Juanita Kirk, the new Manager, was SO nice and helpful, (and what a marvellous change from the usual... More

The rooms are of a reasonable size, clean, and well furnished in a mildly institutional way. The decoration is a bit slap dash and there was a damp stain in my bathroom. Being on the first floor at the front there was a lot of noise from those drinking on the patio in front of the hotel that a closed... More

Whilst visiting Sherborne Abbey we noticed the Half Moon Inn across the road, as it was raining hard we decided to go in rather than look for another restaurant as we were hungry and wet. We ordered soup and a main meal at the bar and sat down to wait for our meal. We found the bar staff had an... More
