Visited with my son while staying in the area and couldn’t have had a better experience. We walked in quite late on the Friday evening when they were extremely busy. I mentioned that we hadn’t booked and, although they were fully booked, they very kindly managed to squeeze the two of us in, which was hugely appreciated. The food was exceptional and the service was equally impressive. We enjoyed it so much that we returned over the weekend, and every member of staff we met was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The locals were just as welcoming too, which gave the place a really warm and friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area. A huge thank you to the whole team for looking after us and making both me and my son feel so welcome. We’ll definitely return when we’re back in the area!

We had a wonderful stay at the Full Moon Inn Rudge. The accommodation was lovely and spotlessly clean. The cosy bar was a great place to relax, and the breakfast and dinner were excellent. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a fantastic experience and a place we would happily recommend and visit again!

We have just returned from our third stay at the The Full Moon Inn. The 17th-century historic building is beautiful and has been renovated to a very high standard, perfectly blending original character with modern luxury. The room was spacious, featuring high-quality finishes and incredibly comfortable beds. We ate at the restaurant on a couple of nights and the food was outstanding, especially the freshly made, cooked-to-order breakfast. Located in a quiet rural setting yet close to local attractions and convenient as a stop over for longer journeys, it's the ideal base for a peaceful country trip. The staff are attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. We will definitely be back ....

We stayed here stopping off on our way to Cornwall and what a gorgeous find. When we arrived, the pub had such a welcoming atmosphere, dogs and kids running around. The room was clean, newly refurbished with everything we needed. Breakfast in the morning was superb. Thanks for a great stop off!

I've eaten in some fantastic restaurants over the years, but tonight at The Full Moon Inn was genuinely one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm, friendly service that was attentive without ever feeling overbearing. The team made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. The food, however, was on another level. I began with the black pudding Scotch egg, and it was simply flawless. Perfectly crisp on the outside, rich and beautifully seasoned, with a stunning runny yolk that was cooked to absolute perfection. It's one of those dishes you don't want to finish because it's that good. For my main, I chose the pork rib eye, while my son had the Full Moon double cheeseburger. Both were nothing short of sensational. Every bite was packed with flavour, cooked with incredible precision and beautifully presented. The level of skill behind these dishes was unmistakable—it honestly felt as though they had been created by an executive chef at the very top of their game. What amazed me most is that this isn't a fine-dining restaurant charging eye-watering prices. It's a welcoming local pub producing food of an astonishingly high standard. The Full Moon Inn has somehow managed to combine the relaxed atmosphere and charm of a traditional village pub with cooking that wouldn't look out of place in a Michelin-starred restaurant. This is a true hidden gem and deserves to be celebrated. If you appreciate exceptional food, outstanding service and a genuinely memorable dining experience, do yourself a favour and visit. We left already planning our next trip back. Quite simply... perfection. Five stars don't feel like enough.
