Lovely place to stay!

Booked this as a short break away. Easy to book, quick confirmation. Good price. Received email allowing us to check in, as we wanted to arrive earlier, they arranged for key to be available for us. Room very comfortable, heating on for our arrival. Comfortable bed, tv, tea and coffee making facilities. Clean bathroom with shower. We booked a table for dinner in the restaurant, received a friendly warm welcome, nice staff. Great food and drink selection, reasonable prices. Breakfast was included, arranged what we wanted and what time the previous evening then just turn up at arranged time. Great service from Dean, a really friendly guy. Ate in the restaurant again on 2nd night as we were really impressed. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hunters Moon and would highly recommend either a stay there or just going for a meal if you are in the area.

Great service and food. However, the 3 star hygiene rating was a shock. It's a old venue, but the water pressure was really terrible.

A lovely break.

This is the fifth time in two years we have stayed here. Dean and his team have always been very welcoming and made us feel very welcome. The variety of food on offer in the restaurant is exceptional and what we like is, they offer you the choice of a small or regular size meal, great for those with a smaller appetite. His breakfasts really set you up for the day. The room is always clean and well stocked with tea, coffee etc. and bottled water is complementary. Great place for a short break. Looking forward to our next visit.

We stayed here as I was judging at Dorset County Show at the weekend. What an amazing place! With both of us being coeliac, I was amazed at the amount of coeliac friendly food! This included full English breakfast, starters, mains and puddings as well! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they were all so friendly and happy to help. The room (the suite) was spacious and clean with a very comfortable king size bed and was special and quiet, despite being beside the road. We will be recommending all our friends to stay here in the future. One of the best places I have ever stayed in!

Our stay at hunters moon was great. We not only stayed there but we ate there too. The sunday carvery wasnt as good as expected but we were late eating. Rooms could do with little update. But bedding was immaculate. Manager was a great host. Went above and beyond to help everyone. Will definitely stay again. When in the area. Thanks for your hospitality

The state of the bathroom is unpleasant. The mould, limescale and general upkeep is severely lacking. The road noise due to the open windows results in a noisy room and the use of earplugs to get any sleep.
