The Garway Moon Inn in Herefordshire, County of

The Inn was a great place to stay as a base for our visit to Oldfield Forge. Garway is very remote & consists of little more than the Inn, a church, a village shop & a primary school, so check-in was quite late to coincide with village life opening hours. The Inn is a lovely combination of rustic & modern. We stayed in "Sun" which was really spacious, warm & comfortable, & felt like a mini apartment rather than just a room. The proprietors were welcoming & friendly hosts. Breakfast was good quality - being a city girl, I forgot that being a vegetarian is a dietary requirement & didn't notify ahead of time, so the full English was not so full. Evening meals were also good quality pub grub - there are veggie/vegan options on the menu, but choice is more limited than for omnivores. There isn't anywhere else to eat out in the village.

Stayed over 1 night, Sid the manager very welcoming, evening fish and chips was delicious, as was the full cooked in the morning, room was very clean, I had the suite which had everything you would need, warm and cosy, had a few drinks in the evening and it had that old world charm, highly recommend

We stayed at The Garway moon inn for a wedding down the road. Firstly the owner went above and beyond to help us with our stay! They allowed us to get changed prior to the wedding. The owner gave us a lift to and from the wedding venue, such a lovely man. Which really helped us out so we could really enjoy our friends wedding. The room was excellent plenty of space, spacious bathroom with bath and shower. What also made our stay was the beds were in so comfortable! We then had breakfast in the morning you had every option you could imagine! Cereal, yoghurt, tea, coffee, orange juice, toast, full English. I could recommend enough! We will definitely go back and will recommend to friends and family.

A lovely old character pub in rural Herefordshire. The food was excellent. The rump steak special was very good. The service was slow and lacking in attention to detail. We had to keep reminding the staff to bring a jug of water etc. I asked for an affogato coffee. They had never heard of that but provided me with a very large glass of coffee and a separate ball of ice cream on a plate. It was impossible to pour the coffee over the ice cream. The pub had a lovely ambience, beamed and Herefordshire hops on display. Just need the service to be more efficient.

We stopped in for a drink at 7:45pm after being at the iron forge down the road all day. The local cider is absolutely delicious! We asked about food and even though the kitchen was due to close it was not a problem in the slightest! We had a curry of the day and a chicken shawarma kebab and both meals were absolutely delicious. They were hot, fresh, and full of flavour - we were both blown away and we were absolutely gutted to only be passing through and not staying in the area to come back another day. The chap behind the bar was so lovely, and we would definitely look at staying here next time we visit the area.

We had Sunday lunch yesterday. I had the beef, my husband had the lamb kebabs (Middle Eastern style). Both beautiful. The service was perfect too. So good I’ve booked (on behalf of my kids) for Father’s Day. Highly recommended for both food & friendly service.

Good Breakfast. Lovely location. Friendly, chatty local people at the bar. Excellent large bedroom, huge bathroom with feature stone wall and extra spacious lobby area felt like a suite rather than one room. Low ceilings, husband hit head twice. Excellent Food and very attentive staff. Great location if you are on a Blacksmith Course as Oldfield Forge is only 5 minutes away by car! Jamaica Inn type vibes as we looked out of our room at night, past the Inn Sign at the open countryside and the road running past.. Great Old Coaching Inn.

Walked in to a busy and lively pub with a warm welcome. As we wanted food we moved to the restaurant and had prompt and attentive service. Lovely food which arrived quickly. Must admit to having a thing about toilets as they say a lot about a place, found these to be really clean and they were not found wanting there. Fab visit and thanks for looking after us.

Painfully cold mostly the room. But the restaurant was also cold. Noisy rooms directly above the pub. Food in the restaurant was very good for evening meal.

Really nice restraint, not much on the menu but that's nice as you have plenty to choose from. Had the fish and chips and partner had the full moon burger. Have to say the fish was probably one of the best I've had especially for a secluded pub pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Very hospitable and we enjoyed ourselves can't say much more than that!

What a great pub!!! Such a warm welcome and laughs with Danny and the staff. We couldn’t resist the cheesy chips! The locals are lovely and we felt like we’d being going there for years. Will definitely visit the area again. Thanks team 😊

A very warm welcome form the landlord, Ash, to this old pub well patronised by locals, one of the best curries I have had in a pub, a very comfortable and spacious 'room' and an excellent breakfast. The team survived through COVID na deserve to continue to succeed.

Popped in on the way to our B&B after a full day at The Oldfield Forge. The inn was recommended by staff there and it didn't disappoint. A warm and chatty welcome upon arrival and then after a drink we both ordered a FULL MOON burger. A top-notch burger with some of the crispiest fries ever. The inn had a warm inviting feel with families and children happily playing in the beer garden.

We were with a group of 15 friends who were walking in the area and had a lunch on a Saturday (we had booked). Really tasty food, nicely presented and generous portions. Was impressed and would return. Only 1 very busy guy serving who worked hard, as was doing bar and food and could have done with an extra pair of hands, but the overall experience was excellent.

We cycled there from Skenfrith and it was worth the effort ! Super food and generous portions. Would certainly go again. Good value for money.

This truly wonderful pub, restaurant & hotel combined is somewhere we first found right at the end of the lock down, when they were literally fighting to stay open & even then, it was fabulous. Now it’s magnificent, not because anything has changed-they’re still busy-but getting busier & they’ve survived! This incredible, beautiful family run place, full of laughter & lovely people, with superb food (curry night on a Tuesday is a must), glorious, well equipped high end rooms & a breakfast to die for. Ash, who runs the show, is a delight & nothing is too much trouble….why on earth wouldn’t we come back?!

We ordered two coffees which came out cold so I tuck the pot back to the bar it come back cold I gave them the opportunity to put things right do I go back in again no so i have sent a bad review there food is excellent we came and had a Sunday lunch 6 days before .

We stayed for 3 nights in The Globe apartment at The Garway Moon Inn. A well appointed apartment which had everything we needed and breakfast in the pub each morning. The food was first class at breakfast and we dined there one evening. The evening meal was excellent. Landlord very friendly and helpful. Gorgeous village green opposite the pub. Ideally situated for visiting Oldfield Forge. Highly recommended.

The food was delicious, we had both the roast beef and the mixed grilled fish. The staff were really friendly. We’d definitely stop hee again when in the area.

This is very much a pub at the heart of a rural community. Lovely village Green opposite with croquet pitches - a rare sight! We booked following good reviews on here and when we realised that they had a chef in on Friday and Saturday we hoped for a good meal. We have paid twice as much in the past for nowhere near as well made, presented, and delicious food. Our starters were courgette and mozzarella cannelloni and salmon gravadlax -both 10/10 Main courses were grilled mixed fish and a Katsura curry with sticky rice and kimchi pickled vegetables. Unbelievably good tastes, portion size, presentation and service. We live 3 hours away but I can see us planning a repeat trip just for this secret gem of culinary delight. Friday and Saturday - chef dinner nights. Bonne cuisine! Merveilleux! Merci!

Stayed here overnight as we were visiting the local area, and ended up having breakfast, lunch and dinner all at the Inn. The service was excellent, all the staff were friendly, the food delicious, and the accommodation was very comfortable. I would highly recommend the Garway Moon Inn for food, accommodation, or just to pop in for a drink. If we are ever visiting the area again, we won't need to look elsewhere for somewhere to stay, this is the perfect place.

Chose this place for their proximity to the Oldfield Forge. We were met by a lovely team member who promptly showed us to our room. It was spotless, spacious and gorgeous. The food in their downstairs restaraunt was heavenly and the breakfast is top notch. We had attentive service from Danni, but thanks to the whole team. Would gladly stay again 😊

We had the most odd experience I've ever had, in this pub. The bar man was so rude that we ended up leaving without ordering. Felt like a real 'local pub for local people' type situation. I've honestly never had a similar experience any where else. Would really not recommend - unless you're a local maybe?

Always a favourite place to go, especially on a sunny afternoon which then becomes evening. Over the looking the green is a joy especially as you watch some locals playing croquet or little people playing on the swings. Whether we come with family or friends,...

Sunday lunch at The Moon was faultless. Big flavours, generous servings and value for money. Tied in with a great atmosphere of locals drinking at the bar and the restaurant full of punters. Hoping to be back soon would highly recommend.

Excellent food, very relaxed atmosphere. We were made to feel very at home by friendly caring staff. Would definitely recommend as great night out for couples and family groups

Spent the night here prior to a visit to oldfield forge. Curry night was superb, Great Staff and a warm welcome after travelling for a few hours. Room was spacious, clean and well prepared. Great facilities. Highly recomended. Lovely dogs in the bar. Wonderful ambience.

We visited for a Sunday dinner, we had beef and the children had a children’s size beef dinner too. It was simply amazing, one of the best country pub roast dinners I have had. The portions were good, gravy was spectacular and all the veg...

This is a pub. Although the bar has a good selection of drinks (which are kept to a decent standard) this is only a pub. We stayed here due to the Inn offering rooms, food and being in close proximity to the local forge (the...

We decided to stay at the Garway Moon at the recommendation from Oldfield Forge where we spent the day forging. Where do I start?! We were shown to our room by a lovely member of staff (Eden I think?), the room was lovely and cosy,...

We had visited the oldfield forge today for my birthday and came to the pub for some food and to stay the night to avoid a lengthy journey home. Despite some initial panick over the website not being clear if they were open when we...

Lovely charming place to stay whilst visiting Oldfield Forge. Owner, Ash, was extremely welcoming, hard-working and a joy to talk with. The Globe room upstairs was well-equipped and a home-from-home. Bar, food and staff complimented the experience very well. (Especially Tuesday curry night!) Breakfast was...

Once again the Moon came up trumps: good food, excellent beers, friendly and efficient staff. On a previous visit the landlord explained in detail how he had improved the care and treatment of beers, which explained to me why the same beer I had drunk...

after a hard day at the Oldfield Forge we received a warm welcome. the room was very nice the food…. omg…. the food was amazing we had 3 courses 😋 The forging day was awesome. we will return without doubt to both venues

There can’t be many pubs that can cater for 10 adults and 9 children dropping in for Sunday lunch!Not only that, the staff and the food ( especially the roast beef) were outstanding.Excellent value and a wonderful end to a great family weekend.Thank you.

Delicious food, wonderfully cooked and enormous portions! The staff were really attentive, the setting is beautiful but the food knocks this pub out of the park nowadays! Jerk chicken and rice, pork ribs with a brilliant homemade bbq sauce and lamb koftas with homemade harissa…...

Staff were great, and responded to messages all day. Nice beer, really good food all served with a smile.

Ordered food to the Oldfield Forge via email and was surprised on what I got. Amazing food and they even delivered. Was very impressed.

A lovely little place, bar and restaurant. We had booked a room for An overnight stay and we’re not disappointed! Was greeted by Grace who was lovely and showed us to our room. Our room was very clean and comfortable with all you needed in...

The Garway Moon was recommended by Oldfield Forge, where I had booked a blacksmith experience for my husband's 60th birthday. From the first enquiry I found them to be friendly and efficient. On arrival there were balloons and a bottle of wine and a card...

We have been a few times for a pint and evening meal and it has always been excellent. It is certainly better than regular pub/Inn food, decent portions and fair prices... both food and drinks. The lads that work their are very friendly and with...

The Garway Moon has, like other pubs had its ups and downs due to Covid.. However, the Moon seems to have turned a corner by introducing a guest chef on Fridays. The evening is called Fat Rick's Friday. I went yesterday and enjoyed probably the...

We had a great dinner at this Inn. The young staff were all very friendly and helpful, the menu options were really interesting, and the foo was very tasty

We stayed here before our visit to old field forge (also fab). We had a room with beams and period furniture. it was lovely. Ash cooked us a great breakfast this morning. We couldn’t have asked for more. We arrived and had drinks in the...

Everything at the Garway Moon was stunning. Our room was huge and perfect for us. enjoyed a bath, and our little one was looked after in every aspect. Beautiful restaurant and food was impeccable. Lovely chat with the owner in the morning, and again, he...

Having visited the nearby Forge for an experience day, we spotted the Moon also had rooms that got great reviews. Wow! We had the Sun room and it was awesome. Huge bathroom, beautiful vaulted ceiling and character furniture. We ate in the bar as the...

We were at the forge nearby and ordered a lunch to be delivered. Easy to place out order. A very polite lady called to take payment. Food was delivered hot and on time which as we realised was a few miles up narrow country lanes...

Had a delicious evening meal. The staff were very friendly, smiley & helpful. Efficient service. Couldn’t fault it. These days it’s hard to find a proper pub pub & decent food. The Galway Moon Inn is both. Nostalgic setting with modern food. Nice toilets too....

The room, Sun, was almost a suite and despite overlooking the road was very quiet. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Supper was fine but rather heavy for our taste. Some items were off. when we went down at 8 pm. Breakfast was...

Thank you Grace, Wil et al for looking after us last night for a lovely evening of drinks and dinner. All the staff were very friendly and professional. Food was very tasty and enjoyable, which consisted of halloumi kebab and hubby had rump steak. Lovely...

We booked a very late notice table for a party of 12 for Sunday lunch and they were extremely accomodating, asked us for a pre order but that was completely simple and straightforward to get together and made our visit run very smoothly. Food portions...

Requested a table for 12 at late notice for Sunday lunch, great communication, the food was excellent and very friendly staff, highly recommend

My husband and I stayed here for one night and it turned out to be a beautiful little find. At first we were disappointed that it was a 5pm check in, but once the doors to the Inn were opened at this time, our delightful stay began. We stayed in ‘The Sun’ room which was newly and beautifully decorated, with a real modern cottage feel. It was a lovely spacious area with a large bathroom. The view from our room was equally beautiful. The dinner was excellent and breakfast was a full English and made by Ash, the owner. He, along with his bar staff and housekeeper/cleaner, were so welcoming and friendly. friendly guy. This was a lovely stop over on the way to the Brecon Beacons. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Went to the Garway Inn for a midweek evening meal whist being holiday in the area. Pre- booked our table and was glad we did as the restaurant was busy . The restaurant is adjacent to the bar and open planned in a traditional but modern style. Iona was our waitress and very knowledgeable of the menu and recommended a local beer to try , lovely! The food was great , fresh , hot and good portion sizes . Iona throughout the meal was attentive and very funny and it complemented our meal , thank you Iona and we will be back when we are back in the area !

After an afternoon in the nearby forge we went for an early evening meal. The presence of several obvious “locals” is generally a good sign and we’re we’re not disappointed.

We came here for a meal before the football and so the venue was reasonably quiet.The service was excellent, both of the people who served us were really polite, pleasant and friendly.The food was lovely, very fresh and well presented, none of us could fault what we had.Pity we had to rush off to watch the match!

I had a steak with came with all the trimmings. Beautifully cooked as requested and very tasty. Hubby had the fish & chips. HUGE! I am informed that it was marvellous. A good pint of beer served too. Excellent place.

The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The place itself was very cosy and welcoming. Portion sizes were amazing and we highly recommend the cheesecake.

We hadn’t been before. The bar staff worked hard but there were long delays on all counts. The young lad rarely wore his mask and spent a lot of time chatting to locals. A young lady worked hard and tried her best We went on Curry night and had high expectations, however we ordered samosas and bhajis to share - the bhajis were really nice and they were meant to be 4 samosas and two bhajis so we thought we would share the starters, the samosas turned up and there were three, so we mentioned they were meant to be four as per the menu, and the waitress brought another one and it was frozen literally frozen it was freezing cold!!!!!! She apologised and said they had a new supplier, we were under the impression that Indian night was all home-cooked food, clearly not! How is a change in supplier mean it’s acceptable to serve up frozen food?’ My husband loves One of the local ales but that was off, they managed to squeeze two glasses for him out of the end of the barrel! But there were loads of lagers, yet the ales were just not to be seen. Yet another disappointment. The curries were okay one was particularly nice and the other one wasn’t really very nice but may have been just not to our liking!All in all we weren’t overly impressed!

We stayed there one night, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable, we felt at home immediately. We also had dinner at the pub, food was good, chips were excellent, hot, and crispy. I look forward to staying there again.

A really decent Sunday lunch outside on a nice sunny day - the first Sunday after lockdown ended. Beautiful roast beef and pork lunches with all of the trimmings. Great soup as a starter too.

Loving the newly decorated restaurant. Very cosy and warm. We had dinner on Thursday evening. The food was well cooked and very tasty. My husband had a ribeye and trimmings-cooked well to his liking (medium rare). I had a vegan soy and beetroot burger and all the trimmings including vegan mayonnaise which tasted like normal mayo. All very tasty and very reasonably priced. All the staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely lunch delivered to the old field forge for our knife making day. Really good food and perfect for what we needed.

We visited to enjoy my birthday with family just as the rules changed (again) but despite this, they were well organised and really looked after us. The new table service rules worked and staff put on a smile despite the extra workload enforced by the government. Drinks were plentiful and the food was superb. That plus a few laughs is all we could ask for in 2020. Thanks for looking after us. Definitely recommended.

We ate here twice on holiday. Both meals were excellent. Staff are lovely with good service. We were able to enjoy eating outside in the beautiful weather. The burgers and the Scottish cranachan (whiskey) dessert was delicious. Great place to eat at any time but especially after a walk up Garway Hill. Have to add that the toilets are wonderful too!

This was the first place we visited after lockdown and the expeience was so good we keep going back. Excellent Covid arrangements make you feel safe. Good value food, and a great Sunday lunch. Family friendly too. Menu choice to suit everone. Would be 5 rating but for shortage of ingredients last time we visited. None of the veggie options were available (though something was created).

Booked for a local experience which this pub provided the lunch. It was delivered to the venue and was delicious. Booked for an evening meal. Local users made us welcome. The evening meal was very tasty and the chocolate brownie was out of this world.

We were visiting the area and decided to stay here on the first night opening after lock down.The food and staff were everything you could ask for. The room was charming with a really nice ensuite.Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.The owner was friendly and helpful.You really couldn't ask for more.

Lovely pub and my friends really enjoyed their food. Please be careful though if you have dairy intolerance as the vegan option with vegetables came out with couliflour cheese and when I explained that I didnt expect the meal to have cheese on it as I'm dairy intolerant (and it was described as vegan), they apologised nicely and willingly brought another dinner out. Unfortunately this second attempt had buttered carrots which I unfortunatly did eat one. I could tell really good food, so I want to say a fair review, but unfortunately I couldn't eat there with my friends today I didnt feel the food was safe for my dietary requirements and I think its only the responsible thing to do to share it now as intolerances and allergies are just so important.

Had a very nice meal here yesterday. Excellent curry with friendly staff. A must for food if you are in the area.

We stayed for two nights and absolutely loved the stay.The room was very clean and tidy with a comfy bed and nice shower and bath. There was also tea and coffee facilities along with tv and WiFi.The bar is well stocked with real ales and a great variety of spirts or lagers.We had full English breakfast both mornings with coffee, cereal and orange juice. The main menu has a great selection of dishes all very reasonably priced as well a specials board with again at least 6 other very different choices.I had a steak which was cooked perfectly and my wife had chowder which looked and smelt great, she said it was lovely.Overall a very homely and welcoming place to stay. All the staff and landlords made the stay comfortable.Would highly recommend.

'The Moon', a great country pub with beautiful walks nearby* and a village common plus kids' play area opposite, serves the best Wye Valley Brewey HPA in the area: delicious. * Including Garway Hill Common, offering a variety of walks and fabulous views.

Sign by door says open lunchtimes. Newer sign on door says closed lunchtimes Mon to Fri. We had just arrived from finding the Bell at Skenfrith closed due to flooding, so eventually ended up at The Bridge at Kentchurch, which had also suffered in the flooding, but was able to offer a passable menu.

We dined here 3 times during our fortnight stay nearby in Wales. On each occasion the food was delicious with the cauliflower, cheese and courgette soup being particularly scrummy. The rib eye steak was tender and cooked to perfection as was the chicken with pesto.It wasn't just the quality of the food that saw us return - the staff were all lovely and created a very relaxing atmosphere.We'll definitely return next time we are in the area.

We visited on Saturday night and had a lovely meal. The atmosphere was also great. We had the cauliflower and cheese soup which was the best soup I've ever eaten with warm bread and beautifully tasting butter. It was a meal in itself but we still had main courses to come!!They were also very nice and could have been served in a fine dining restaurant with a much bigger price tag. Chef and staff always look happy- our young male waiter could have been more confident as he met every request and was very accommodating.Overall it was a lovely evening with some of the best pub food we've ever tasted!!Good wine list too!

I had a bavette steak which was expertly cooked and came with a herby, chili sauce thing. Really tasty. Girlfriend had a spectacular Spanish cod dish with a chorizo and olive sauce. Friendly unfussy place with great food. Glad to see that someone is trying to do something a bit different and doing it well.

Had Sunday lunch today. I had the local slow roasted lamb which was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. Other half had Coq Au Vin, which was traditionally made and superb. All 3 courses were excellent, prepared and presented to a very high standard. Service was efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Pricing is reasonable. Will definitely return.

We stayed for two nights and so glad we did. (review for the B&B on trip adviser also)first day there we had the bar snack meal and the burger was really great and the chips where the best i've had in years. the owners "Ash & andrezza" where such nice people and Ash is a very impressive cook which we found out on the Tuesday night when he did a curry night. Loads of food and tasted amazing, we do like a curry now and then but this was one of the best places we have been to and the naan bread was amazing. I would love to have stayed one more night just to see what the food was like on other nights.Well worth the trip.

Staying for one night on a cycle tour. Food was amazing and the room great. Host was very attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

You may need your satnav to find this stunning pub and restaurant on the Herefordshire/Monmouthshire border but you will be rewarded when you get there. Really varied and exciting menu with daily specials on the board. If you’re a fan of the old faithfuls - burgers or fish and chips - you won’t be disappointed. But there are plenty more interesting options especially fish specialities and some mouthwatering Spanish-inspired dishes. I was eyeing up the Spanish board of serrano ham, manchego, olives and crusty bread but settled for delicious smoked haddock croquettas with curry mayonnaise. The minted strawberry shortcake was a revelation! Crumbly, buttery homemade shortcake flecked with fresh garden mint with local strawberries and cream. My home city of Cardiff has hundreds of pubs and restaurants but it’s hard to think of any serving food as good as this. Well worth an hour’s drive through some countryside for gastro pub food at its finest.

We hadn’t visited the pub in a few years as the previous owner was not very friendly or hospitable. Well, we have been missing out. Lovely food , great selection and quality and a friendly greeting. Do go visit.

Despite being quiet (not sure why!) we had a fantastic pub lunch here. Just a sandwich and an extraordinary ploughman’s - but very tasty and great value for money. Lovely location and friendly staff too. Highly recommended.

Stayed here with friends, while other halves were at the forge experience.

Visited on a Thursday lunch to make use of their beer garden with 2 children. The owners young daughter played with one of my children and let him ride her bike....kept him quiet whilst we ate!

Lovely staff, great food, and fantastic accommodation in a very rural setting. The location is ideal for exploring Monmouth and Hereford.

This review is based on the quality of the food from the Inn when on a forge experience at Oldfield Forge.

After finding this place on a tuesday night and having a wonderful curry the last two visits have been disappointing with watery, no flavoured sauce. The service is always good but a pity the curry has lost its flavour especially from a Mauritius chef.

Very friendly helpful staff. Great food. Nice area to sit out whilst children played. Wish we had been able to come back but we got thwarted. If we are ever back in your area we will return.

We were a large group of family and friends who had booked for Sunday lunch, some of our party were also staying overnight at the Inn. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and obliging. The Inn is a fine example of a country Inn that is fast disappearing set in a beautiful part of the English/Welsh borders. I would highly recommend a visit to this charming Inn.

We stayed locally for a week with the grandchildren and were in walking distance of the Garway Moon.

Just moved to Garway so thought we'd try out the Garway Moon as its within walking distance and we were relieved to have had a very pleasant evening and meal. My Dad and I enjoyed the Welsh cawl and we especially liked the electro-swing playlist and very good service.

Whilst in the area I try to eat at least once at the Garway Moon. I arrived on Sunday ready for the week ahead and booked a table for Sunday lunch. What a treat!

We have eaten here three times in the last week whilst staying locally. We all enjoyed our roast dinners on Sunday, my husband and I returned for excellently cooked steak on Wednesday and tonight we ate delicious curry. The staff are all friendly and attentive. Great value for money too!

We stayed at The Garway Moon Inn for a few days in the area having booked an experience day of Oldfield Forge, just a few roads away.

The room- Stayed overnight with a lovely room, massive bathroom, and everything that you could need. Dropped abit cold in the room at night due to the wind coming over the hills, but there were extra blankets to hand.

We were in the area today for a few hours, travelling from Barry. The staff were welcoming and helpful but what came out of the kitchen, let the experience down. As TallPaul stated in the review posted also today, the gravy was salty, like swallowing seawater. The chicken breast in my opinion seemed as if it was cooked from scratch, in a microwave. The flesh had surrendered and looked so strange, with an odd fishy odour too. However, we ate all our food as we were extremely hungry. A tad oxymoron-ish I know! The veg was fresh and not frozen, which is great but only 2 desserts to choose from. Perhaps there is only a cook in the kitchen and not a chef? To also end on a positive note, it was clean and tidy.

Over an hour wait for leathery beef, cold lasagne and dry roast chicken (which was not what I ordered). The young staff were doing their very best but the kitchen was letting them down badly. The pub was freezing cold too, kept my thick fleece on throughout the interminable meal and arrived home very cold. Ate here before Christmas and the food was good- so what's changed? Such a disappointment.

We had great expectations for our Sunday roast but unfortunately we were all very disappointed.

We have visited the moon over many years and decided to eat here when visiting over Christmas. We were very pleased we did!
