No bath mat or grab rail in bathroom, shower over bath and bath surface very slippery, hence my husband slipped and fell getting out. Also we are elderly but were put on the top floor.

A Memorable Day at Pack Monday in Sherborne On Monday, 14th October 2024, my family and friends and I had the pleasure of attending Pack Monday in the picturesque town of Sherborne, Dorset. This annual event, steeped in tradition and local culture, offered us a delightful mix of historical charm and vibrant community spirit. Our stay at the “Half Moon Inn” added to the magic. The inn, with its historical charm and comfortable ambiance, was the perfect retreat after a day of exploration. The hospitality was fantastic, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. Special thanks to Craig and Zophia, whose exceptional service and warm personalities stood out, making our stay even more memorable. Craig greeted us warmly upon arrival, even going out of his way to get us an ironing board and iron. His friendly personality truly made us feel at home. Zophia was equally welcoming, adding to the overall fantastic hospitality. The bedroom was cozy and well-appointed, ensuring a restful night. A significant highlight of our visit was the massive Pack Monday Market. The market stalls lined the streets from Sherborne train station, up Cheap Street, and extended through all the side roads. Vendors offered an array of goods, from local produce and handmade crafts to delicious street food and unique antiques. The vibrant market was a bustling hub of activity, reflecting the festive spirit of Pack Monday and providing something for everyone to enjoy. Half Moon is great

My room had not been cleaned and serviced at all when I was given the key. After apologies I was "upgraded" to their "best" room. On entering that room, yes the bed had been made and the bedroom serviced, but the bathroom had the dirty soaking wet towels from the previous guests piled on the floor, and no new towels in sight. More apologies and towels removed and replaced. Whilst the bedroom was relatively clean, the bathroom was a horror! There was mould all over the ceiling at shower end of the room and it had an overall feeling of tired and dingy. We didn't eat in the Inn because of concerns over hygiene standards (bad bedroom/bathroom experience) but did have a pint of ale at the bar. Not impressed with that either. Finally to top it off, we had a taxi arranged to collect our luggage after we had left (cycling) but the hotel staff forgot to give the taxi driver one of our bags, which resulted in us having to make a 2 hour round trip to pick it up the next day. We will NOT be visiting the Half Moon again!

Nice stay with some excellent service - the staff could not be more helpful. We stayed on a Saturday night in a room directly overlooking the street at the front. That was unfortunate - it seems the area outside the Half Moon is the social centre of Sherborner! it was very loud until about midnight which didn't help when were trying to get to sleep.

Very convenient location with friendly and helpful staff. My room was clean and comfortable, and my only suggestion is that it would benefit from air conditioning as it was exceptionally warm weather during my stay. Overall, good with easy and convenient car parking. I would be happy to stay again.

The state of the bathrooms are shocking, the mould, timescale and general condition of the bathrooms are unpleasant. The windows have to be open for airflow which then means the road noise would require the use of earplugs. The price of the room does not reflect value for money at all!!

Property was convenient but the standard of room was very basic. No toilet paper in the bathroom, only one coffee pack that was decafe, only body wash (no shampoo/conditioner/soap) bed was ok but pillows, old, They need attention to details if they want people to come. We only stayed there because everywhere else was fully booked.

Checking in was difficult as no card machine so wrong details used on computer which led to my card being declined. The bedside light wasn’t working. No plug in the bathroom, which desperately needs upgrading. Although reasonably clean the room and public spaces were dingy. It was in a good location and the staff were all very nice.
