We had a nice break in this hotel. Rooms nice and clean. Food ok. Owners were very helpful as were all staff. Had a great day out at nearby Hadrian' wall centre's. a bit out of the way.Very nice beer garden to rear. Tv's very small but did work

Just back from a nice weekend away at the Black Bull. This place is great value and therefore we weren't expecting the Ritz. That said we weren't disappointed one bit. Our room was cosy, quiet, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was lovely (homemade pies and real chips!! And butchers sausages at breakfast). All...

Stayed at this hotel for a weekend break. Chose it because it allowed us to take our dog with us. The hotel gave us a warm welcome on arrival and showed us to a lovely room. The hotel is pretty basic but dogs and their owners are are made to feel at home. They have a nice outside area which... More

Just returned from a 2 night Groupon deal at the Black Bull - I must admit after reading the reviews on here I was a bit dubious about going but all I can say is don't let the reviews put you off, we had a great time. Room 6 was tip top, not noisy at all, everywhere was clean and... More

We booked this as a groupon deal. Lovely warm welcome, first night we ate in and the steak and kidney pie was amazing!! Would have been nice to have a wider selection of wine rather than white, red or rose! The room was good, clean and a decent size. A bit of noise from the bar but nothing too riotous!... More

We added a special offer by the pub to a 2 day Groupon deal to make a 5 night stay and had a wonderful time, helped by fantastic weather. Kevin (Vegas) and Liz could not have been more friendly and helpful and suggested moving us to a larger room after the first night which was even nicer than the previous... More

We had a Groupon voucher for 2 nights stay, afternoon tea and a bottle of wine. Our room (1) was big and nicely decorated. We could hear some noise from the bar but it didn't keep us awake. The staff made us feel really welcome. The English breakfast was cooked to order and very nice. We didn't have afternoon tea... More
