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.

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.

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.

Lovely country pub with great food. Rooms were detatched from main building were nice. Staff very friendly and helpful. I was leaving early next morning before breakfast was being served so they made me a packed breakfast the night before which was a nixe touch.

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.
