My sister and I were researching our ancestors in Templecombe (1 mile away) and were booked to stay at the Half Moon 2 nights. Then the Icelandic volcano erupted, and the 2 nights became 6! Thanks to the wonderful proprietors and their staff, and their friendly evening clientele, we enjoyed every minute of it. Their kindness will always be remembered. While other travelers were stuck in airports or treated badly, our hosts did everything they could to make us comfortable. We felt like we were at home.
The accomodation was excellent, we had everything we could want, and we were in the budget rooms, made out of a converted stable. The meals were excellent- best pub food we had on this trip, and lovely breakfasts. Everything was homemade- really good curries, some vegetarian dishes, lovely soup, delicious desserts (sticky toffee pudding!!)
We appreciated the little extra touches, like candies and chocolate in the room.
We did not have a car, and did not need one, as the Templecombe rail station is only a mile away, either on the highway or by publc pathway across a pasture- beautiful walk!
I can't wait to go back!

I found my time at the half moon a very enjoyable one.
The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

The pub is an old country style watering hole which I would love at the end of my road!

The facilities were clean and I would definitely stay there again.!

Stayed here while attending a wedding at near by hotel. Room was basic but clean. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice too!! We also ate in the pub in the evening this was also very tasty and large portions. There is nothing within walking distance to do and not much nearby even if your driving. I paid £70 per night for B&B, which I think is quite expensive for quality of the room. Our friends stayed in the Holbrook House Hotel and booked last minute and got a bargin at £90. I would stay there for the extra £20. ( Very nice!!)
