Arrived early evening looking forward to having a meal after a long drive to find out that there is no food service for the length of my stay. I feel this should have been made clear at the time of booking. Although not the Half Moons fault, there was no WiFi available due to a damaged phone line caused by road works. As I was on a business trip this was compulsory as the phone signal in the area is next to null. The room was comfortable and clean, only complaint with the room is the boiler that is situated in the bathroom continuously switching on and off which was noisy.

Reasonable country inn.

Last night of a 5 day cycle trip round Suffolk of three 70 year old friends. Staff very helpful and accommodated our bikes without any problem. Quite remote so little passing trade and food was only available to residents. Food and service was good, including breakfast. Condition was reasonable and bathroom was fine, although we struggled to get much water out of the showers at a reasonable temperature.

Great food, charming but needs some TLC

Fantastic pub with great food and great staff. We were late and called to ask when food stopped, were told we'd definitely get fed. Arrived,checked in and put our bags in the room, then went for food.Scampi and a Burger, both were very tasty and big portions. Noticed a few spider webs in our room but nothing major, we were in the countryside and the windows were open. Next morning we notice a few smaller cleaning issues, ring on bedside table, that just wiped off and a few older cobwebs and dust, but nothing to complain about, linen was clean and beds were comfy. Shower, water pressure was low, but usable, so we mentioned this when we went down for breakfast, which on the first say was cooked to order, great poached eggs and lovely bacon, sausage, tomato, mushroom and beans, all really good quality. Went out for the day, came back late. Second morning, shower was unusable, water pressure was almost non-existent, then we noticed there was no more loo roll, so I went and got some and queried why there wasn't any, if you want your room refreshing you must ask, we didn't know this. Breakfast day2: buffet, same ingredients but no where near as good, dried out fried egg, hard beans, soggy bacon, no glasses. It seemed very chaotic, odd as it was the same staff. Mentioned water pressure, a guy came over had a look, was very apologetic. A lovely place with lots of potential, but needs some proper TLC. I would go back for pub food, but would want a cleaner room and working shower.

One night stay

Is a lovely old village pub with nice local beers - unfortunately they had some sort of problem and so were closed on the (Sunday) night I stayed - I arrived about 5pm - they held the kitchen so I could eat and have a couple of pints. No other pubs in walking distance, so it was an early night.

Clean apartments set in the grounds of a thriving pub. The apartments offered plenty of privacy when needed, and the pub provided great food at a great price. Lisa in particular was incredibly welcoming - I was travelling alone and she made the extra effort to make the experience feel homely! Would definitely recommend for anyone needing a place to stay in Diss.
