The Half Moon Inn is well known, not just for the fishing but for the quality of its beers, well stocked bar and wine cellar, with wines from around the world to suit most palates. A magnificent log fire is a focal point in colder weather and the unique village inn atmosphere creates an ideal setting for our guests to meet informally and mix with the local people.
Our bar offers a choice of 3 local ciders and some mighty fine real ale drawn from the original beer engines - you know the ones - with Royal Doulton handles depicting hand painted hunting scenes. How much better the pint tastes when it's made a few miles up the road! We even feature a fabulous Devon white wine and sparkling white from Cornwall on our list.
Dogs welcome in the bar. Dogs may stay in some of the guest bedrooms.
