Good bed and breakfast. Very noisy motor bike went on the road at high speed around 6.00 in the morning. It is not Half Moon's fault, but was rather annoying.

Reception staff friendly and helpful. Cleaning done to a good standard. Nice, clean bed. Very tatty room (nothing to do with housekeeping), tired looking, torn net curtain, dirty windows. Shower curtain was heavily stained, disgusting, ick! Poor tea/coffee selection. £104 seemed excessive for this room.

The Half Moon has no lift so people with mobility problems have to climb the steep stairs to the accommodation floor. The shower in the room is in the bath so also a problem for people with mobility problems. The room is in need of upgrading. The pub is a Marston’s house but there was a guest beer. The pub said that they did not sell enough beer.
