Not happy with the 4 o’clock check-in time. I had no idea that the property wasn’t serving food and only found out after checking in. When making reservation nothing was said about food. Normally they have a continental breakfast in the morning which also was unvailable. Finally I was charged for a additional day which has still not been worked out.

My partner and I stayed for one night along with our little dog. The place was clean and comfortable. Instant coffee, milk and a little kettle waited for us in the room. All the staff was very helpful and extremely nice. Our dog was warmly welcomed as well, for a 10-pound fee. The pub itself is also very nice. Warmly recommended!

Suitable for a short business stopover
This was a one-night stopover for business reasons. The room was perfectly adequate for a night's sleep.Parking availability was good. Shower and bathroom did the job though the water pressure in the shower is fairly weak. Good tea/coffee provision in room. Did not use any of the catering facilities. At £75 it was perhaps a little pricey for what it was, but if I wanted the Hilton I would have booked the Hilton. Reception staff were friendly enough.

Friendly pub
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. There is a car park on site. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was very good too. I had poached eggs and salmon on toast. The only thing we could moan about is the shower not being very powerful! All in all we enjoyed our stay!

Upon arrival they insisted we pay extra for the 3rd person even though i paid for 3 adults at the time of booking. Also the shower was a trickle both at night and in the morning. When mentioned they said this was to be expected in an old property!

No check in!
Didn’t happen as couldn’t see anyone that morning- before evening planned stay - I wanted to advise possible late check in. Couldn’t get into hotel c8.30am - no one serving breakfast- no one visible! That evening I was delayed with train problems and arrived c10pm. Doors all locked- I saw a member of staff in bar through a window, which I knocked on - no response. Eventually I decided to drive home.

Great Breakfast!
One night stay to attend a function being held at the pub. The room was small but comfortable and it had everything I needed. It was immaculately clean and the bed was comfortable enough. I found the green safety light in the room a bit bright but otherwise the room was perfect. I could hear other people moving around in the morning …but to be expected in an old property such as this . The cooked breakfast was really good and the staff were so lovely. I would definitely stay here again .

Reasonable Pub Accommodation
It is a pub which offers accommodation. Room was okay, bathroom was small. There was no hot water at the washhand basin. Breakfast was good (thanks Jake). If you want an inexpensive stay it was fine (but do sort the hot water).

Pleasant stay but room needed some issues fixing
Room very small and had a few issues which we were advised they knew about when we reported them, but would have been useful to know on check-in. Shower knob broken, some light switches didn’t work, sink plug not working. Food in the bar and breakfast were very good and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Character, charm and superb hospitality.
Clean, comfortable room with all required facilities. Modern bathroom. Super helpful staff who could not do enough to accomodate their guests' needs. Will definitely be back. Loved the history behind tbe Cromwell Room I stayed in and the landlord gave directions to the statue referenced in the room for my RAF veteran hubby who is crazy about RAF history and dogs.

Aug 2018 Two night stay. the first night had someone banging on the door wanting to get in. The next evening when i returned the room had not been cleaned - bed unmade and pots left etc etc. I was promised a refund for that night - lots of platitudes but never got that refund. Oh and did i say the TV in the room failed to work. what was nice was that the chef was most attentive and made a nice evening meal on the first night. 'Breakfast' was however UHT sachet in bed room and a box of cornflakes

5pm booking in time unbelievable - basic room and facilities with breakfast self serve in bedroom (cereal, milk, yoghurt, biscuit, extremely noisy electric shower forced speedy shower, an interesting approach - basic bed mattress with squeaky set up - cheap and cheerful is one positive way to describe the venue but I certainly wouldn't stay again

Quaint little B&B with an amazing host
We stayed one night. The new owner John is giving a place a full revamp so on condition i think after the revamp the place will look great! John was a wonderful host, he checked us in early and we had a third friend travelling with us but couldn’t give us a 3 bed room so he gave us a 2 bed and a single room which was amazing! The place was really clean and the beds were comfy!

Not Very good
"Come and stay in one of our recently refurbished rooms" it says outside. I dont class 1980 as recent. Damp on walls, old mattress with little support. Towel heater in bathroom has fallen off but is still wired into the fused spur - the fixings are still on the wall and are 1" long spikes - just by the shower, so potentially could slip and be impaled by one. Hairs on the bed (not mine, I am bald). Noisy main door to rooms, the closer slams it shut at 200 miles an hour. Worth £30 a night, dreaming at £60 +

Great food
The owner and staff were very welcoming. The room was comfortable and I enjoyed a good nights sleep. The bar and restaurant are very good with a large choice on the menu and specials board. I would rate the meal that I had ( Alaskan king crab legs to start and then Roast belly pork with mash and veg) very highly and of good portion size.

The Black Bull an old hotel with a warm welcome !
A very friendly welcome from Jon who ownes the place. We had an evening meal in the bar and it was very good 😋 The breakfast was not as good as we hoped for, having said that we would recommend it as Jon and his team make you feel at home!!
