Traditional Pub near Abbey
Was good with bedrooms overlooking Sherborne Abbey and plenty of (paid) parking space at the back.
Good selection of food for evening and breakfast as one would expect.

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.

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 in central Sherborne. Room was very clean and roomy, but the reception area and staircase is tired looking and needs decoration

This is a very old building, quaint and just across the road from Sherborne Abbey. There is on-site parking (which I didn't use) and it is about 7 minutes walk from the station (which I did use). It is right in the town centre, which is a delight to explore, with a number of good restaurants nearby.

Lovely old building and town. Food reasonably priced but not great although ok for a pit stop and if you don’t want to have to leave the pub.
