Eight of us visited for a game of skittles followed by a finger buffet. This is perhaps the most pleasant social club I have been to.

What a find! Great food, welcoming environment and team, dog friendly. Stayed in the area and this was our local. Settled in for the evening with decent beers and board games. It didn't disappoint. No food pics as it looked so delicious, we tucked straight in. Cheers lads.

Lovely location, very nice pub, friendly staff. We stopped off for a quick pint randomly but we're probably going to visit again after our break as the food looked very nice! I would definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

Good food and a very comfortable dining experience. Service was excellent and food is always served freshly cooked. Plenty of seating outside with views across the whole valley. Great place to watch the sun go down. Dog friendly and a good children's menu. Recommended to book for an inside table or larger group.

Just enjoyed the most delicious lunch here! Four of us plus 4 large damp dogs! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely fantastic! Compliments to the chef and thanks to Luke who looked after us so well! We will definitely return! A gem!

This is the second time I have used this company, the first to service my boiler and now to change a thermostat. I would certainly recommend them as they are polite, professional, honest and have respect. Arrived on time and worked solidly the whole time he was here. Thank you for great service.

Went for a Mexican and half price cocktails on a Wednesday evening. Mexican is cooked in a van in the car park, but served in the bar/conservatory - excellent food (real cutlery but takeaway boxes).

A stellar experience. Lovely service from the team, who clearly are passionate about what they do. The steak I had was maybe the best I have ever been served - a lovely cut and cooked perfectly. Just a great experience.

A lovely place which such an amazing team! We were well looked after celebrating our first wedding anniversary and the crispy lionsmane mushroom dish at the restaurant was one of the best I have ever had! We had the most perfect stay.

Even though the weather was against us , the wind was howling helping soak us we had a great day ! The course was in excellent condition. Some very difficult holes especially with the conditions I would definitely recommend having a round of golf here. The staff and members were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Definitely will be back for another round soon, hopefully without the sad weather.

We visited the Half Moon whilst on our minimoon in Dorset. We wanted a lovely “home cooked” Sunday roast and boy did they deliver. The food was exceptional. They also had a band playing in the garden and a magician coming round to the tables (when you weren’t eating) and it was great! Highly recommend and if we’re ever back in the area, we’d definitely visit again.

If there is one thing you should do before you keel over is go to The Half Moon and try their food. They have amazing customer service from the get go, great COVID regulations, ths canopee was such a lovely atmosphere with beautiful lights and fire heaters. Wildflowers and brilliant music. Such a lovely atmosphere all round and the food was to die for. It was absolutely delicious and we are definitely going back. Hopefully every year! Thank you for an amazing experience and unforgettable anniversary

Really nice pub with log fires. Very welcoming and dog friendly as well. Food was very nice and reasonably priced. If being really critical to them, then they could do with being a little bit more flexible around the menu...ie.. can't have the lamb with chips, can't have a sweetcorn as a kids side meal... As they only have enough for the steak meals that it comes with.. As i say, it's being super critical, not a deal breaker and didn't spoil a lovely meal.

Hands down one of the best boutique hotels around. Stayed in room 6 three times now. And there’s literally no where else around like it. Amazing bed, bath, shower even the lighting is perfect. And the food, well Michelin star worthy in my opinion. The Staff are very friendly and there is always a warm welcoming atmosphere. There are many options for parking just minuets walking distance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something new, you will not be disappointed.

Only a one night stay, but a really lovely little hotel. Good sized, well equipped rooms and great food. The staff were lovely too - very helpful. They even left a snack to take with me because I was leaving before breakfast started

Stayed in room 5 - the room was so lovely but the bath let it down for us. You could tell the bath needed maintenance (tried to be hidden by the bath mat being cleverly laid within the bath) and it looked like there had been some kind of leak underneath. Making us very wary of using it. This resulted in us just using the shower… this creaked majorly when we walked in to it… bit concerning! Apart from that, bed was so comfy. Window could be open nice and wide. Loads of space. Lovely service upon entering & leaving. We had food in the restaurant in the evening and couldn’t fault the food, it was so lovely. Location doesn’t have car park (known after a bit of digging as not explicit on website).

I stayed overnight in the art deco room (Room 4) and everything was great. The bathroom was right out of a luxury boutique hotel - fantastic. It would be impossible to improve on the shower. But that was nothing compared with dinner. I ordered the fish and chips. They gave me THE BEST FISH AND CHIPS I'VE EVER HAD. Incredible. That really took me by surprise and is a reason to return on its own. What a chef. Breakfast was good too. The team were very friendly, letting me into the restaurant a few minutes early for a coffee while we waited for the kitchen to open. I went for the continental. I overheard one of the team had quickly nipped to the shops because I had ordered yoghurt and they had run out. That's service. To sum up? The Crooked Swan really cares about their customers. They have really thought about how to make each stay a special one. It would be better if they had a car park but that's no huge issue as there's a public one a short walk away. Even if they wanted a car park, there really isn't room to build one!

I originally arranged for David to fit my kitchen worktops in 2012. While he was here, he offered to carry out the plumbing and essentially completed the whole job. He also commissioned the new boiler that had been fitted but not used. The following year I rang him to service the heating system and I've been using him ever since. David is usually available at short notice when necessary and his office back up is excellent, with an annual reminder when work is due. I have no hesitation in recommending David Wells. He's reliable, professional and has become more of a friend than just a tradesman.

Just wanted to say thank you to Dave and his team for excellent service. Before Christmas our boiler failed and one of Dave's team was round within the hour as promised. Following that we had an issue with our immersion heater and again Dave was there as promised, even ringing us to advise he would be 15 minutes later than expected. Overall result - new boiler, removal of water tanks and change of some radiators which was started and finished last week. He and his team were friendly, professional and helpful and we'd be more than happy to recommend him.

Our boiler stopped working about 2 weeks before Christmas, and I contacted Dave at Exo. He came out for a quick assessment before work the next morning, and then continued over the next several days ordering and changing all the relevant parts, even at the weekend! I appreciate this was not normal being pre-christmas chaos, bit I am super appreciative that we had heating and hot water back within a week, and saved us replacing our boiler. Bravo Dave!

I'm so pleased I called Dave. We have just moved to Somerset and couldn't use our kitchen sink because of dodgy plumbing . Elliot came over early next morning and did a fantastic job. Really nice guy, very professional and friendly and disinfected everything after he finished. I wish I could share a before and after photo... the difference is amazing! I've never been happier to get the washing up done or have a new washing machine fitted! 😆 thank you guys!

We have had a boiler service, a boiler repair and a shower and new radiator installed- all jobs were carried out efficiently and professionally. Dave and Elliot are helpful and friendly and very tidy workers! Our boiler broke down and it was fixed within 24 hours - brilliant service! Thank you both

What a lovely cafe! We came in for a coffee and Dorset Apple Cake and ended up staying for lunch. Great atmosphere, wonderful service and the food is amazing!! We had the avocado rarebit which was brilliant - really tasty and served with a lovely salad and slaw. Definitely recommend; we'll definitely be coming back.

Came for a leisurely coffee but ended up treating myself to the Rarebit! It was DELICIOUS! 😋 The only negative thing was there wasn't more of the tasty side salad (so so good ) 😁 I am super happy to have found such a gem in a local area 🙌 Ps the service was so friendly - thank you
