A Little Gem In Dorset.
Conveniently located for touring Dorset with ready access to the countryside and coastal walking. Good selection of beers and ciders. Efficient staff and food options to suit all tastes. The option to have small prtions at dinner was very welcome and more hotels and pubs would do well to follow Dean's lead.

Little Gem with special Hosts
I had a brilliant stay at Hunters moon, Dean and his wife made me welcome as soon as I
Came through the door. The Atmosphere was amazing and Dean was a real gentleman who was always looking out for me he was accommodating and always made sure I had all I needed. All the staff and residents made you feel like you had been there for years. They address me by name and ensured I received everything I requested. Thanks Dean for being a true professional Host and to all your staff, food was amazing and well priced, I can’t thank you enough for the hospitality you provided.

Great service and food. However, the 3 star hygiene rating was a shock. It's a old venue, but the water pressure was really terrible.
