Black Bull Inn

Avoid rooms at all costs. We booked on the 18th May for a stay on Saturday the 6th June, we had an arranged to go to a friends party down the road. When we checked in we noticed mold on the walls, the cupboards looked old, carpets were awful, the bedding looked old and faded, there was no en-suite just a bathroom down the hall when we went in the bathroom was disgusting, mold all around the shower, the boxing around the shower was rotten, we just couldn’t stay, we dreaded to think what bed was like. Charging £82 for the night was outrageous I’ve stayed in nicer places at £30 a night!! We confronted the manager who apologised saying there were no other rooms available we asked for a refund and he gave it to us no question no arguments if anything he was embarrassed . He even offered us the room free but we still couldn’t bring ourselves to stay. Absolutely gutted ruined our night, couldn’t attend the party without one of us having to drive home we were so looking forward to a great night out

Have stayed here many a time before but this time was better than ever! We stayed in the new build section and the room was fantastic! Spacious, bright and modern and a very reasonable price too. The pub is great and the locals are welcoming and friendly, as are all the team who work there. Would definitely recommend 😊

The dirt on the sun shade plastic cover is filthy. There is grass growing all around the paving stones. The non music was very lound and utterly tuneless. There were only three other couples in this huge building. The food was just the opposite absolutely great...tasty and well presented Inside was a good deal cleaner and tidier but we took our well behaved dogs and it was exceptionally hot. It needs a lot of cleaning and tidying up and the fountain working. It could be a great place but it certainly needs a lot of effort..

Unfortunately ended up stopping here for one night and never again, after arriving we went into bar area to check in, after finally getting attention of bar staff we got a drink and told them we had booked a room and wanted to check in,,,, after a good while and a few more drinks and my colleague getting a bit miffed over an hour waiting we got shown to our rooms which is for want of better words, a run down building across car park, first impressions were to get out of there, it smelt of damp, paint hanging off walls looked like a building site, , not good at all, we were shown upstairs to rooms, grubby was first impression of room, single bed looked like it had come out of a skip, draws were of similar appearance, shower was OK, fact there was no door between bedroom and shower was a strange set up, room was what I would expect a cell to be like, it was so small when you opened door you looked at back of headboard, (this was actually hanging off bed) possibly out of another skip as nothing matched, as for bed I didn't actually climb in it I slept on top of it clothed as I wasn't prepared to put my body in it, my colleague was ready to leave as soon as he saw his room and only stayed as Unfortunately we had been drinking, (in bar waiting to be shown to rooms) on a plus note food was good in pub and staff friendly but never again, the laughable bit is owner was proud to tell us he had upgraded us as a third colleague hadn't turned up, god help us if he had! If I had of been in my own van I would of refused room and slept in that, possibly the worst I have had the misfortune of stopping in, how any site can advertise it as good is beyond me, do the booking sites actually look at what there selling? See attached picture of headboard fastening on bed!
