Restaurant was excellent for an evening meal. Lovely cooked breakfast. Great entertainment on the Saturday night in the pub. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### MISS 25 Sept 2019 #### Just not "luxury" as advertised The Black Bull advertised the room we booked as "luxury" but I could not agree with this. The Hotel front/reception is in need of "tidying up", just general maintenance and perhaps the purchase of a filing cabinet for the front desk. The impression of chaos as you look at the front reception desk. The room is ok! but things like pillows, coathangers, morning housekeeping on certain days needs to be addressed ##### MISS Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl 22 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay Very pleasantly supersized at the size & standard of the room & bathroom.

Staff were really helpful and friendly. Food was excellent. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. The only minor issue was lack of curtains in one of the windows due to a broken curtain rain.However blackout blinds did give us privacy. ##### Skunner Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great food and friendly staff Food here is of a very high standard and worth a visit even if you are not using the accommodation. Nice dining room with friendly staff. There is a public bar with covered smoking area outside but a nice lounge bar to complement the excellent catering would be an advantage. There is a bar in the dining room however. There is a nice room which would be suitable for private parties of approx 60 persons. Basic room but spotless and very comfortable bed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean 4 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Well presented Hotel The room and hotel was as expected and reasonable for the price.
