I stayed at the Half Moon for a business trip. From the time I walked in I could see this was a great place to stay.The bar was filled with locals - and the staff knew everyone's name. Check-in was seamless, the room was clean and well appointed and the bathroom was huge! Comfy bed, quiet room and a good hot shower.All in all, a great place to stay - I'll definitely book again when I'm in the area.

Had a fabulous time staying here the landlords were friendly, the rooms were very clean and had everything you require would definitely come back

Room warm and clean.Dinner food very good and birthday cake appreciated. Would have preferred separatedining are anot inbar.

Lovely people who made you feel welcomed.

The Half Moon is a great place to stay. Good, clean comfortable pub room, with its own ensuite. Yummy pub food menu downstairs in the bar. Highly recommended

We had booked the same best room as before and it matched its better than good rating. The bathroom was fine and the shower easy to operate - unlike some we have used! A particularly good asset, not always to be found in some hotels and B and Bs, was the amount of available drawer space and the hanging space in the single wardrobe was adequate for a short stay.However, our reception when we arrived should have been better. Other guests had been trying for some time to get into the premises. We were shown to the room and told that, due to Covid and a shortage of staff, breakfast was not available at the Half Moon. That's fair enough since breakfast was not part of the deal. Later, however, a notice on the staircase wall told us that, for the same reasons, none of the rooms would be serviced. Again that was no loss over a three day stay and with only a duvet to tidy but we do think that the tea tray should have been topped up each day with tea bags, sugar etc. We were unable to find the owner(s) to ask for more.To some up, we would be more than happy to stay again at the Half Moon not least because the prices are reasonable, despite the lack of servicing. What we are probably saying is that a more personal touch would have been welcome.

The landlady was very pleasant when we arrived. The room was a good size with plenty of tea and coffee and a comfortable bed. The shower was good. We were provided with a fan which was needed as ot was so hot. We had a very good night's sleep. Unfortunately because of covid breakfast wasn't available.

We enjoyed out stay very much and will come again

Clean and comfortable room, friendly staff and lovely meal.Thanks for a great time.

Beautiful location very close to where I had to be for the next day Bisley Gunclub room was perfect very tidy very comfy bed had a great night sleep. Only a little problem no breakfast😔😂 but apart from that a great place thank you.

We really liked this cozy hotel. Friendly staff and the building had lots of character. Sadly we left too early to try the breakfast

Couldn’t fault the cleanliness of my room.Visiting friends locally so didn’t get to eat at the pub which was a shame.Sadly the twin beds in my room were really uncomfortable.My friend said the same about the bec in her room.Other than this it was perfect.

Nice homely pub with rooms,rooms are modernised and very clean,set in a beautiful village/town of Woking,just about 4 miles south of the M25,it's clean and comfortable with free parking only meters away,food is served there,I chose the chicken wrap,it didn't disappoint,if I remember I,m sure it's also a freehouse,so there a good selection of drinks,everyone was polite cheerfull,breakfast is also available,though I didn't have one during my stay,but I,m sure it's just perfect,good wholesome food,and I,ve paid a lot more for a lot less in other places,I recommend the Half Moon,and will definitely be staying there again

A great little hotel situated in a rural setting but with good shops just a short walk away. Plenty of free secluded parking, great power shower and hotel / bar staff warm and welcoming, cricket ground to rear and a very good stay.

It's was a lovely place to stop off at as we had important things to attend in the area.

Very nice few days stay. Friendly and welcoming. Nice bar with a good real ale. Easy parking and out of hours access. Pub closed early, 9pm, but there were other very nice pubs a few hundred yards away. Very convenient and good value and will stay again when in Ripley.

I stayed in the small room at the back which was very quiet.The meal in the pub was excellent.The town of Ripley is delightful.Easy access to RHS Wisley. My only advice is to let people know how to get to the parking on The Green (posted Cricket Club from the High Street just a few doors down from the Inn).

Friendly and clean.

Arrived late evening 2030hrs to a warm and friendly welcome staff couldn’t be more helpful shown to room which was clean and tidy had a lovely evening in a very nice location will definitely rebook here

My stay at the Half Moon fulfilled all my expectations and requirements: clean, comfortable, welcoming and stress-free.

Excellent service much appreciate thanks

Stayed for a wedding next door. Very easy to check-in and out, and the staff were very friendly.Room was pleasant and I would stay again.

I booked the room for a colleague and was particularly impressed by the extremely friendly support and help from the staff. My colleague would happily stay there again.

The room was fine and I had a comfortable stay.

The small double room I occupied is as it suggests quite small, However the bed was very comfortable, The shower and toilet clean and adequate, the reception welcoming with good parking facilities, The evening meal menu is good with large portion sizes, and a superb breakfast as well

Easy location. Comfy and clean. Great breakfast and friendly welcome. Great value for money. Looking forward to summer renovations… a piece of history being preserved.

Only a one night stay, but warm welcome. Comfortable room. Good breakfast.Good value.

Such a lovely cosy little place.... made to feel very welcome .... gawjus breakfast...Only issue we had was bed wasn't very comfortable unfortunately..

The hotel was very clean and tidy, the staff friendly and efficient and the food and drink very good as well .Tha only drawback was lack of breakfast but that was out of the hotel’s control

Big thank you to Kim & Gordon for a lovely stay. Kim's home cooked stew was incredible and Gordon made sure we didn't go thirsty! Having a large breakfast in the morning made sure you won't leave hungry. We had the double room with Ensuite, the room has character with beautiful original fireplaces and feels cosy.shower was nice and powerful. I think its fair to say the room could do with a little updating and the bed is a little tired. That said I'd stay again for sure, the place has a nice vibe and the staff couldn't do enough for us. See you soon for a drink!

Happy with my room staff are very help full idle for my work

Lovely clean and comfy room with some nice period features.Great hosts.Good breakfast.Good location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, everyone was super lovely and friendly, the rooms suited us all perfectly and breakfast was delicious! Will definitely stay again if I visit Surrey in the future! Thank you!

They both really enjoyed their shot stay at the Half Moon. Lovely welcome by Kim, nice room, comfy beds, lovely breakfast. They both said they would definitely like to stay there again, many thanks.

Room was small but cosy and was perfect for our situation. Friendly staff and breakfast was great.

This was a great place to stay over in the quaint village of Ripley! Clean room with all the necessities! Highly recommended!

Nice pub with comfortable room. Our room had a large ensuite with very decent shower. Cooked breakfast was very nice too. Would book again.

Stayed for one night to attend a friends birthday and had a great stay. Comfortable well equipped rooms, good location. Covid safe as had no interaction with anyone on the day but great communication before handLots of parking behind the hotel

We needed an overnight stay & the Half Moon were able to oblige with a delightful oldy-worldy room, also en-suite . Lovely decor & decent sized bathroom all following Covid recommendations .Contactless check-in alas , would have liked to meet the owners but I'm sure there will be another time.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was really comfy and had everything we needed. The shower was very efficient although no shower gel is supplied. Staff are really great. We had an evening meal which was lovely and plentiful. The reasonable price of the room included breakfast. The only negative was the timing of breakfast which was between 7am and 8am - this is rather early for us. We would,however,happily stay again.

We were in the twin-bedded ensuite which is large enough for two and was warm and comfortable. The creaky floor boards in the bathrooom might disturb any with better hearing than us but, hey, this is an historic building! All the facilities and decoration were in good condition and clean. We liked being able to come and go as we pleased. The breakfasts were generous. We would definitely stay here again.

Very friendly staff, comfortable room,lovely food, pretty & convenient location ( being near to the A3 but village based ).Thank you.

Friendy comfortable. Good value

We loved everything about our stay.Room comfy and warm welcome.Great food in pub....relaxing..and lovely village.

Nice clean, quiet room with great power-shower and delicious breakfast in the morning.

We had a great stay .Nice clean room.Booked on the day not realised very busy weekend.Would recommend this hotel

My son and I enjoyed a pleasant stay here. Chose it because it is convenient for the M25. A few minor things could have been improved. It is not obvious where you are meant to park. Some more information beforehand and a sign at the property would help a lot. Also a sign on the door that you have to knock on in order to gain access when the bar is closed would help. The heating in our room didn't come on in the evening, but did in the morning which was very odd. The choice of cereals at breakfast was a bit boring, but the cooked full english was fine and served promptly. The wi-fi signal in the room was rather weak so our devices tried to connect to a near-by BT router instead. On the other hand dinner was good and the staff in the evening and morning were very friendly and helpful.These are minor niggles that could easily be improved, overall a perfectly acceptable place for a stopover.

Realy friendly saff and good food

Very nice accommodation with very friendly people. We had the best fish+chips ever

Very warm and welcoming, great breakfastwill definitelystaythereagaingreatvalue for money

I needed somewhere near Wisley to avoid a ridiculously early start and the M25. The Half Moon was excellent.My single room turned out to have 3 beds which might explain why I couldn't get a lower price.The welcome was excellent and the breakfast set me up for the day

Staff were helpful and friendly. The pub was great and popular with the locals.Evening meal and breakfast were really good.The room we had (room 1 - twin en-suite) was good too. A decent size, beds were comfortable and room was away from a fairly busy road. Room and bathroom were clean and tidy.All in all this was an excellent nights stay.

Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, perfectly clean and comfortable room and a decent breakfast. Lovely!

We had a lovely time at the half moon. Our room was lovely and clean. Very comfortable and breakfast in the morning was beautiful. All the staff were very friendly.

Thank You for a most pleasant stay.My condolences on the Cricket final resultWill see you again in the future I am sure.SoncerelyColin Baston

Lovely and helpful staff. Nice room. Good bed and shower. Easy to find a parking place

A very pleasant stay with the staff being very courteous and polite from arriving until leaving, plus we had a very nice evening meal. The rooms were of a good standard with some nice original features. The beds and pillows very comfy. The breakfast was of good quality produce. If I was going to have a negative pick I would have liked mushrooms!!! However I would stay here again so would my son and girlfriend. Thank you

Unfortunately we arrived at rush hour and we had no idea where to park.we were in a lovely delux twin bed room.Unfortunately the free wifi was not connected despite the booster. The initial greeting was extremely fruendly and helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the full English was very tasty. An enjoyable stay regardless of the mentioned annoyances.

We only stayed 1 night. The linen and towels were crisp and the Australian gentleman that greeted us was a perfect host!

Great establishment- good real aleEvening meal freshly cooked to order.Bar staff excellent.Enjoyed the experience of room 5 !

Staff very friendly and helpful

Very nice and comfortable. Food very good to.

I found this place to be excellent in all respects.The room was well serviced and the bed comfortable together with a warm bathroom. I had arrived late after a 300 mile road trip but I was able to order dinner, a lovely beef stew followed by rhubarb crumble-this was just the job. A Full English breakfast rounded off a pleasant stay.

Very clean and tidy room comfortable bed and cosy will stay again good value

I stayed here with my wife ,, and my son and his wife .We stayed in the downstairs rooms . This is better as it is very convenient to join.The upstairs room isbigger and betterbut stairs difficult for senoirs .THey were very helpful in arranging breakfast when we had an early departure .Altoghter a good stay with comfortable bed . .Parking a bit difficult so better to reverse in from the street .Manager helpful.

Couldnt fault anything about our stay -warm welcome,comfortable room,excellent evening menu and great breakfast.Great service and staff were more than helpful.Certainly stay again.

Smaller room than expected but adequate for short stay.

We stayed for a single night when attending a family function nearby. The room was basic but clean and breakfast better than expected for what we paid. I would visit again.

Brilliant, very nice, comfortable, clean room (1) overlooking your cricket ground and park area even in it's brown state looked beautiful. Wonderful breakfast served by a very cheerful and very helpful young man, apologies to him for not finding out his name, but our many thanks for the tasty breakfast, and remembering my husband had requested porridge. Ripley is a pretty village and we will certainly visit you again we come each year to visit Wisley RHS and The Half Moon in Ripley was perfect.Thank you for making our visit and stay with you perfect.

Pleasant overnight stay, with good breakfast included. Had a meal the night before which was ample and good quality. Beds comfortable and room clean and tidy, with good ensuite shower and facilities. Suggestions - small towel would have been nice and perhaps change the picture in the room for a mirror.

Overnight stay for a party locally, room was nice, everything you would need, breakfast was very nice.

Friendly, clean and comfortable

This is a pb with a small number of rooms, the room was well equipped, with a larger than average bathroom. The evening meal was very good, as was the breakfast.

A friendly and comfortable pub serving tasty food and drink. The room was comfortable with a spacious ensuite and good shower. Good value for money.

I booked the room as part of a birthday surprise because it's where we first met. It's quiet enough to sit and talk and it will always have good memories for us.The room was clean and comfortable although the floorboards did creek in the bathroom.Food was lovely and the choice of breakfast items was really good.

Clean well presented rooms with ensuite shower room. Comfortable beds. On a busy road, bedrokms at front so lit of traffic noise. Breakfast good.

Staff couldn't have been friendlier and helpful. too short a stopover.

Owners were lovely, have only had the place for 2 weeks, staff were friendly and breakfast was great. It made a lovely change having breakfast in the bar area, very novel and didn't have the aroma of a bar either lol.Would stay again.

Room ok breakfast very good member of staff very friendly and helpfull .

we had a great three night here, a warm welcome and great staff, we eat un a couple of times and the foid was great, well worth putting on your short list

I stayed here for a one night business trip, the room was very clean and spacious. The lady that looked after me whilst I was there was very friendly and the food was delicious! A great stay and for a fantastic price too!

We stayed in the top floor of one of the beautiful cottages and enjoyed every minute. Our friends had the bottom floor so it was perfect to have the whole cottage to ourselves. Breakfast was yummy and the service excellent. I'd definitely recommend staying here.

Really enjoyed our time in Ripley visiting Wisley, Chartwell and Brooklands. Staying in a pub is never going to be the quietest experience but all the staff were very friendly and we had a good time. The food was well prepared and reasonably priced too.

On the main road thought Ripley so easy to find and there's parking available. Very friendly staff and a lovley full English breakfast with great sausages !!

Very comfortable. Would stay there again.

A two day trip to Wisley. The Half Moon was ideal. Very close to Wisley (walkable if you find the footpaths across the green). No frills, no fuss and great price. If you want a poncy pampering hotel this probably isn't for you but if you simply want a good night's sleep and good breakfast you won't find better.

I can not fault this pub as a great place to stay.Room very comfortable, food excellent, staff helpful and very friendly. Made to feel welcome and that nothing was to much trouble to ensure a memorable stsy. Well done.

Very friendly people, good breakfast.Nice restaurant and pub.

Found staff very welcoming and helpful it was a pleasure to stay with you food was excellent only two faults which were neighbour was banging and throwing stuff about til 1 45am and taxi driver was not at all helpful he was on other side of road and stood and watched me and my friend struggle with bags so 0 point for him

Spent 4 nights here recently whilst visiting area with my sister, warm friendly greeting, staff on bar and breakfast were all friendly and very helpful.Eat in twice, both meals very good, excellent breakfast each morning set us up for the day. Would definitely use again

Clean rooms, with good shower room facilities.Good breakfast, too much to eat.Good value for money.Does lack a car park, but adequate parking very near on the village green.You will need a telephone to get access if you arrive during the day as the doors are locked and there doesn't appear to be a bell!

At the end of June 2015 I stayed at The Half Moon in Ripley. Despite a room overlooking a main road, I slept very well and was not disturbed by the traffic. The excellent breakfast was served at once and in a friendly way. The atmosphere of The Half Moon was pleasant, friendly and efficient, and I would not hesitate to recommend the pub.

Cosy and comfortable !

The room was situated at the back, away from the busy main road and was quiet and comfortable.

We had an over night stay at the Half Moon and were made very welcome. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have an en suite in all three rooms. Lunch was excellent and reasonably priced. Thank you for your hospitality.

Stayed here as only a 5 minute drive from Wisley gardens. The staff were very friendly and helpful, providing meals for friends arriving very late because delayed on their flight. Rooms comfortable and warm.

Stayed at half moon inn as visiting RHS Wisley. Room was clean And good size. Food served in bar was very tasty and they had even kept kitchen open waiting for our late arrival.

Room at the back was quiet and the people were very friendly and helpful. The beer was great, also enjoyed the food. The shower worked well and the WiFi worked fine. No problem parking behind the pub, next to the cricket green.

Hotel room was clean and provided usual comforts one would expect. Internet however did not work in my room and could not open windows. As internet is generally a requirement for my business I would not book again. Saying that if this is not critical, the staff were friendly and welcoming and breakfast was very nice.

Nice rooms, value for money. Food was fantastic. Staff 100% helpful & happy.

Easy to find with convenient parking.Lovely comfortable room.Good food.Friendly, very helpful staff.All in all a great place to stay all at a sensible price.Would I stay there again - a definite yes!

Friendly staff very welcoming , clean room very comfortable.loved the old world charm of the Half Moon .

Lovely and clean.Fab welcome. Great choice of food n drink. Would recommend to anyone

Lovely and clean.Fab welcome. Great choice of food n drink. Would recommend to anyone

Had a warm welcome and was very pleased with my room. Bar and food is fantastic. Slept we'll but bed was on the hard side (my preference). Would definitely stop again. Overall a nice bed and breakfast.

Ripley may be close to Woking according to the map, but it seems like a different world - it's a country village with a cricket green (behind the pub).The pub was closed when we arrived so we had to telephone the number on the door, but it was only a minute or two before we were let in. Parking was a bit of a problem at that time because there was a cricket match taking place on the green - the pub doesn't have it's own car park - however, later on there were a couple of spaces. But, if you're dressing up, watch out for the puddles on the way to and from the car park.The room was very basic, but clean, and the shower was good (though only a small bar of soap provided - no shower gel or shampoo). A hand towel would have been nice.It was a Saturday night and the World Cup was on TV so the pub was fairly noisy until around midnight, but that's only to be expected. What we didn't expect was the party in a nearby house which was still going on at 3am - not the pub's fault but something to bear in mind if you need a good night's sleep. I slept through it, but my wife didn't.We didn't eat in the evening as we were going to a family party nearby, but the cooked breakfast next morning was excellent - the sausages from the local butcher were lean and very tasty.The WiFi signal was fine in Room 1 and in the bar.

The staff were very friendly, the double ensuite was small but adequate for our needs. Breakfast was fab, with a choice of cereals & juices aswell as full English & tea/coffee. Highly recommended, great value for money :)

Very friendly and room comfortable and clean.Would stop there again

I recently stayed at the Blue Moon in Ripley whilst on a business visit to the area.I found it to be spotlessly clean, comfortable and a very welcome rest after what had been a long day. The full English breakfast was excellent. Unfortunately i did not get chance to sample a pint or have dinner at the Blue Moon but if they are as good as the accommodation and the Breakfast then i am sure they will be great. Thank you for your hospitality a highly recommended place to stay.

Stayed 1 night 28/5/14 , closed when we arrived but phone number on door to ring, soon answered and let in with a warm welcome , the room was a little small with a large bathroom but was quite adequate for what we wanted. Food and drink on the evening plenty, breakfast was well cooked and also cereals and juice. All in all enjoyed the stay.

Not many of these gems left. A small cozy pub / hotel which has plenty of character , good food and (bonus) hand pulled English real ale.Accommodation clean & basic. Free wi-fi . Strongly recommend

A clean comfortable room and bathroom and a full English breakfast. No frills but good value for this area.

Friendly, comfortable accommodation with good bathroom/shower; free, easy to use wireless connection; good, basic food; easy to find with plenty of parking nearby

The room was small, but the beds were real comfy! Goodshower in a pretty bathroom. Breakfast was good.

Friendly place to stay.

Perfectly located for visitin RHS Wisley

Pleasant welcome, comfortable bed.Food in pub good and reasonably priced.VERY hot in room.A glass in the bathroom would have been nice, along with complimentary shower gel/shampoo.TV pixelated badly.Overall reasonable value for the area.
