Reviewed Sep 15, 2026All the staff were really friendly bar one lady who just moaned the whole time, mainly about the guests or her workload. They had an interesting menu and a good wine list. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. The gammon steak was very thick but still cooked perfectly. The traditional fry up was plentiful and delicious.
I am not a fan of cold toast. I ordered poached egg on toast. The eggs were beautifully cooked but the toast was stone cold, the butter hadn’t even melted. We ordered more toast but that also arrived cold. There was a toaster by the coffee station but the staff said they preferred not to use it. That evening I ordered ribs. They came nowhere close to falling off the bone. I requested a steak knife to cut through them but was forced to give up after 2.

Reviewed Sep 7, 2026The location in North Devon is fabulous. We had a lovely welcome after a hellish journey and everything was very relaxed. The room was beautifully, tastefully appointed with all you could possibly need. It was very quiet at night. Car parking very close to our room. Breakfast excellent and evening meal superb. The Inn has a little shop selling local produce and artisan products, and there is a great little cafe for a cuppa and a cake. There is also an honesty box larder, with all you may need. Sheepwash is a charming village set in the most stunning countryside, with a river running along the valley. The locals were very welcoming and really pleasant to speak to. An amazing stay!

Reviewed Dec 14, 2025It’s a beautiful building and the owners have made it a warm and welcoming place. There’s a bar area with huge real fire and a separate dining room with log burner. There’s food is of a high standard and much is locally sourced. They also have a cafe and gift shop at one end which serves drinks, sweet treats and has a fabulous selection of gifts. The rooms are spacious and adequately furnished, individual heater was helpful and the bed was super comfy. All the staff were friendly and hospitable, and Kim went out of her way for me delivering my goodies bought in the shop to my home in Northumberland. I really cannot fault this charming country pub, it ticks all the boxes and if you’re looking for a peaceful and cosy place to stay whilst exploring the area, this should suit you perfectly. Please note: it is isolated and there are limited taxis so if you need one book ahead. It was ideal for me as I was attending a memoir course at Arvon Totleigh Barton and wanted peace & quiet to write before I joined the group. Spent a very productive four nights at the Half Moon Inn.

It was spotless. Comfy bed and a nice spacious room were much appreciated after a longer than expected drive that day. I was just in time to order a meal which was tasty. I explored a bit the next day, deciding to go to Trevonne beach, bit further, but a really lovely beach and back then via Bude for my second night. Parking was on the main square on the 1st night and then in front of my room on the 2nd night - much appreciated as I was able to sort my bags.
