    cozy atmosphere
    friendly staff

    I came, I saw, I reviewed

    A lovely pub experience! We enjoyed a beautifully spacious room with a huge bed and a cozy fireplace to set the mood. Dinner was delightful, and the breakfast was equally satisfying with a range of options. The friendly staff added to the warm atmosphere. What a gem!

    cleanliness details
    information folder
    dated decor

    The room had a useful information folder with a detailed dinner menu, allowing us to plan ahead. The cleanliness was commendable, making the space more inviting.

    The outdated decor and overall need for a refresh were evident, with visible wear in places like chipped paint. A shower that lacked power was disappointing, and there were extension cables scattered throughout the room. Breakfast also fell short, with limited cereal options and sliced bread that was less than appetizing. The outdoor seating areas left a lot to be desired, either overlooking the car park or an overgrown garden, which made for an unappealing experience.

    Rooms need updating to avoid a tired appearance!!! Noise insulation requires improvement to enhance guest relaxation!!! Hot water availability could be more reliable to ensure comfort throughout the stay!!!

    fantastic food
    cozy atmosphere
    beautiful log fire
    slow hot water

    i recently stayed at the black bull for a wedding ceremony and it was amazing! the food was absolutely fantastic, especially the roast beef that just melted in my mouth. i also loved the cozy atmosphere with a beautiful log fire, making it the perfect setting for a memorable day.

    the hot water took too long to heat.

    super king-sized bed
    thoughtful decor

    great room but minor dining issues

    The room was impressive, featuring a super king-sized bed that ensured a comforting night's sleep. Cleanliness was impeccable, and the lock on the bedside cabinet provided peace of mind for our valuables. Dinner had exceeded my expectations with exceptional quality, while breakfast offered a delightful start to the day. I appreciated the thoughtful decor throughout the space, which added a welcoming touch.

    welcoming atmosphere
    exceptional quality food
    heating issues
    dry scrambled eggs
    limited breakfast options

    The welcoming atmosphere created by Alex and the staff made for a pleasant stay, despite the initial heating issues in the room. The highlight was certainly the exceptional quality of food, particularly the homemade bread served at breakfast, which stood out for its flavor. On the downside, the breakfast options could have been improved, as the scrambled eggs were somewhat dry and the sliced bread didn't quite match the advertised fresh cut option.

    traditional atmosphere
    delicious food
    room pricing

    the traditional pub atmosphere was enhanced by a lovely log fire, and the locally sourced food surpassed our expectations (the steak was divine! ).

    room pricing could be more reasonable.

    cozy atmosphere
    delicious bbq
    relaxing lounge
    slow hot water

    We were greeted by Alex upon arrival, and the cozy atmosphere with the log fire made the bar a perfect spot to unwind. Enjoying the BBQ facilities and relaxing in the lounge area made our stay even better. The only minor hiccup was the hot water taking a little while to heat up, but it didn't dampen our experience at all. 😊
