Sherborne is nice but the Half Moon is to be avoided until Greene King invest in basic housekeeping and maintenance

Location

Dirty Ceiling light fitting was missing so no light Bath was dirty Floors were dirty

A nerve to ask more than £30 a night for a room with this level of cleanliness.

Location is great, right near the abbey. Bed linen was clean

Bathroom was disgusting - dirty sink, substantial mould on the walls, ceiling and windows, mouldy and split sealant round the bath and sink, lots of dirt around the base of the taps, bath soap dispenser broken, you have to ask for your room to be cleaned (which then just consists of washing the cups and replenishing teabags and mil) which was only done once during our stay, 5 coat hangers for two people, bedside light not working, lots of chipped paint on doors, stairs leading up to our room and the dirtiest bannisters I have seen for ages - covered in grime.

Nice staff, rooms could definitely do with a refurb.

Fairly Close to the event we were attending

Damp like mold on the bathroom ceiling. Shower head had lots of gunge on it.

It was perfectly pleasant and ideally located but it does seem rather expensive.

Location was ideal for the event that we were attending in Sherborne. Ideally situated in the centre near to the Cathedral. Staff were friendly and attentive.

The room, although clean, is really quite dated and it is evident that it has not been refurbished for a good period of time. I fully appreciate it is summer but the cost of the room is really rather expensive and I only assume is for the location.

Disappointing

Nothing

Hotel was booked, paid in full but not utilised because my partner and two children were stranded outside as there was no means of accessing accommodation and no one to let them in. They had to book a different hotel 45miles away in the middle of the night. I contacted Half Moon early this morning after realising what had happened. I spoke to a female receptionist who was very apologetic and assured me that someone from the company will contact me by telephone at around 9am today in order to arrange for a full refund. I've waited all day and yet no sign of any contact. I am still hoping that someone from the hotel will eventually get in touch with me in order to resolve this issue.

Good

The room was large with a lovely view of the Abbey

There was the smallest shower ever in the room , you couldn't move init, the hotel and bar need a good revamp, breakfast was OK, but we had to wait quite a while for it as their was only one mender of staff serving, we wanted a snack on the Saturday afternoon, so went into the and ordered a club sandwich (which was o the menu) we were told they don't serve sandwiches on the weekend, them ordering a drink we asked for a bottle of beer everyone we ordered they didn't have. So we had ti go else where to eat and drink 😡

Co.paring the rate fir a standard room with other hotels, the Halwas expensive considering br

Full cooked breakfast was good. The continental breakfast seemed a bit mean with limited options.

All surfaces in the hotel were sticky. Not sure if they were dirty or the wrong cleaner had been used which reacted with the varnish on tables, bannisters etc. Generally the decor, floors etc were very tired.

Mixed.

Breakfast was very good and staff friendly.

Cleanliness could be improved and it would be helpful if there was advice when booking that the Abbey bells chime all day and night.

Passable

Area was good location near sherborne castle close to shops places to eat etc.

Supposed to close at 11pm to hear staff shouting and screaming downstairs laughing and chatting until late.

Service is sliding.

An old favorite when staying in Sherborne. location is a strong selling point as is the parking.

Service isn’t what it once was. Closed kitchens and slack admin. May have to carefully consider if staying here again. Tried twice to checkout and was ignored.

Good

The bed was very comfy and food was lovely. Room and bathroom very clean.

The pub interior is tired, no tea or coffee in the room and it was very noisy up until 11pm (I know, it's a pub).

Comfortable overnight accommodation at a very good price.

Very convenient location as I was visiting my stepdaughter who lives in Sherbourne. Easy check in and staff polite and helpful. Room was very spacious and comfortable.

As it was a friday night, the inn was very busy with locals and therefore was very noisy until around midnight. However, I did not return to my room until after eleven so this was not a big issue.
