Would stay again

This motel style accommodation is convenient and easy to access. The building housing the accommodation is right beside the pub. Lovely big room with comfortable superking size bed. Breakfast included, served in pub. If you have time, its worth wandering in the sweet village. Look out for the thatched cottages with cute detailing on the roof.
Thatched cottage nearby.

Two great nights in June.

What a hidden gem the Black Bull Inn is. Lovely private and very comfortable accommodation. Breakfast that was included was tremendous and the two evening meals we had were so great and tasty. The super friendly and helpful staff made the stay perfect. We will certainly return when we are next visiting from Australia.

Lovely place and staff

Place and staff were really really nice, only let down was the mattress. Could feel the springs and even see them as sat on the bed. Other than that a great place and easy fix
