“The Black Bull Inn strikes a balance between its historic setting and thoroughly modern comforts, evident in the contemporary, well-maintained rooms and the delicious, locally sourced food with an intriguing Japanese nod. While the car park entrance presents a challenge for larger vehicles, the genuine warmth of the staff and the overall quality of the experience, particularly the exceptional value felt on their B&B rates, make it a standout destination. It's a place where the convivial bar atmosphere, complete with wood burner and games, seamlessly complements the refined dining and restful accommodation.”
