Great old building. Don’t take a big car as you won’t fit the access to the car park! Nice bar. Excellent restaurant. Good room and lovely soft water for the bath.
All good.

Very comfortable clean rooms, nicely decorated. Nice feel.
Breakfast was apparently full at 8.30, with only 2 tables of people in the restaurant, and doors were shut to the bar at 8:45pm, as if customers were somewhat of a nuisance

Breakfast was good, but had it been a business trip an earlier breakfast would have been appreciated. Room was great.
Insufficient warning to guests that on Monday and Tuesday the door is locked at 9pm so if I had caught my originally planned train I might have arrived after the front door was shut and staff went home at 9pm. I had paid in full to Booking.com..
Luckily, I caught an earlier train but food service for bar meals closed at 7:20pm - earlier than the 7:30 pm expected.

Perfect location for our stay. Room was great and had all the facilities we needed
Breakfast was an extra cost and should have been in with the room price, however we were aware of this and still booked so we made the choice to do this.

The neat simplicity with a Japanese influence of black .the food was excellent as was the range of wines
7.0 / 10.0
Lovely hotel. The staff were lovely and very attentive. Comfy beds. Nice beer garden with lots of seating.
The pillows were awful, very thin and hard. The restaurant was nice and the menu appeared to be good but on close inspection the food choices were limited. Three out of six main courses were beef. There was one fish option but they had none left. Breakfast was not much better unfortunately.
8.0 / 10.0
The room was comfortable and stylish.
We were walking the Dales High Way, but this wasn’t a walkers pub. The restaurant is fancy, and we didn’t realise the room rate didn’t include breakfast. There was a breakfast menu but it didn’t include an all-in price for breakfast so it was difficult to tell how much all the separate elements would add up to. Also breakfast started at 8.30 which is a bit late when you have a long day’s walking ahead.

Everything, this is really really nice inside despite the outside looking average. BIG old wooden staircase, lots of rooms, our bathroom looked new and was the best shower we had all week. Interesting bar area and lounge, full of old character yet very clean. Breakfast v good.
Breakfast was extra. Evening food not available certain days of the week or maybe just off season, this includes bar food.

Excellent, interesting and innovative food.
Friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable staff
10.0 / 10.0
The restaurant was fantastic - very interesting and inventive menu. Be warned they offer 'Nibbles' which are like normal starter portions and then 'starters' which are like small plates and then main and dessert! Plus the wine list was fantastic with some very unusual wines on offer - which the charming waiter knew all about.
The staff were a delight. Young friendly, knowledgable and efficient
The room though simple was exceptionally comfortable (lovely bedding and comfy bed). We had a double shower in our bathroom with full sized artisan shower gels and shampoo etc
Excellent tea tray
Only thing missing for me was better lighting by the bed to read with and a magnifying makeup/shaving mirror in the bathroom. Obviously a theme here with us having older eyesight!

Great stay at the Black Bull. Welcoming and cosy in a sleepy little village. Bed was very comfy and room was nice and quiet. Do eat in the restaurant it is fabulous! Breakfast was good too with a good selection to choose from. Staff friendly and helpful.
Milk in the room is fresh and in canisters with no fridge so very quickly went off, we had to go and ask for more a couple of times. After a long walk a cup of tea is definitely needed so some UHT milk in the room would be a good back up!
