The Full Moon Inn is a charming freehold country pub and Grade II listed building dating from 1642. Fully renovated in 2022, welcoming locals & newcomers to sample our menu of exciting dishes, elevated pub classics & hearty Sunday lunches. We also have a wide selection of local ales, ciders & spirits.

Our 5 recently renovated letting rooms are already seeing rave reviews for their quality finish, luxurious standards & attention to detail. Expect all the comforts of home as well as smart TV’s, strong WiFi, mini fridge & all the facilities you would expect from a top notch establishment.

As a traditional country pub we sit in our own serene little corner of Somerset but we are only a short distance from the popular market town of Frome, the historic Longleat House & Safari Park.  Stonehenge, Stourhead Gardens, Glastonbury are also within easy driving distance.

Our Story

The Full Moon has endured the passing centuries, witnessing various landlords and owners come and go, but it never closed its doors (except during pandemic restrictions). It started as a humble off-sales cider house, gradually expanding into a bar with the present fireplace, snug bar, and an additional tap room for patrons, which continued until the late 1970s. In the late 20th century, a function room with a skittle alley and five bedrooms were added, along with five cottages, bringing the total number of bedrooms to 19, and an indoor swimming pool.The inn thrived until 2012, gaining recognition for its renowned Sunday lunches and hosting weddings. After a challenging period under administration, the Inn was separated from the cottages and acquired by the current owner in late 2019. The pandemic presented an opportunity to undertake extensive renovations and introduce a spacious terrace. For the first time in its history, the old part of the pub was temporarily closed to guests. During this period, the roof of the old cellar was raised to create a cozy dining room, and the bar area was restored to its original layout with the assistance of our architects, Harrison Brookes, and the designers from Classic Pub Design.We sincerely hope you enjoy your visit!

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 ....

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 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!

Just returned from staying here and we were so impressed with this hidden gem. Rural location but not far from the A36 and just 15 minutes drive from Longleat. We loved both the character of the building and the contemporary/classic interiors. All you need to have a comfortable stay and many well thought of touches in our room that we did appreciate. The food was great too. We enjoyed a generous breakfast (included) and two delicious evening meals plus local cider (very drinkable!). The staff were all friendly, helpful and genuinely nice people.

We stumbled across The Full Moon when looking for someone to stay on our way to Wales. What a find and we will definitely be back for another stay. Great rooms, super clean and well stocked (such as fresh milk and good coffee). We had a wonderful dinner (we both had veggie options for our main - because they were unusual, not your standard veggie options at all) and all really tasty along with an equally good breakfast. Great staff, service , food and atmosphere.
