Black Horse Inn

the room cross from me, had the television on and fell asleep, the volume was high. I woke up several times in middle of night and eventually at 2.45, i went and knocked on the door a few time, woke him up, and asked him to turn the television off. he after 5 minutes. and then i could sleep for rest of the night. next day i was very tired.

Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff. A real welcoming atmosphere. Recently renovated modern bedrooms and dining area that still retains the character of the old buildings.

I checked in last minute and the hosts were very helpful with arranging food for me even though the kitchen had closed. Great service and it was a pleasure having friendly staff to greet me . They made me feel very welcome and comfortable. The room was comfortable and clean with a fabulous bathroom

Nice place to stay very comfy and very clean good breakfast would stay again

Great little hotel/pub. Staff very friendly. Room very clean and well presented. Bathroom exceptional, all modern fitting, large walk in shower and bath. Breakfast all waiter service. No self service buffet bar. All cooked to order. Has an lovely looking outside area with lots of hanging baskets, but were unable to use as rained most of the time we were there. Well recommended for a long or short stay.

Very warm welcome on arrival and shown to room. Pleasant decor although the single room was a little tight for room (what would I expect for a single?). Arrived on Sunday evening, but pub closes on Sunday evenings. No major problem as plenty of places nearby to eat. Over slept in morning as bed was so comfortable and nearly missed breakfast. So glad I didn’t as it was one of the best cooked breakfasts I’ve had in a very long time. The evening menu also looked fantastic, but was not able to dine in. Based on breakfast, I’d imagine the flavours would be sensational- no exaggeration. Will definitely be booking again when in the area.

Lucky enough to stay here during a short business trip and it was great value for money. The food in the restaurant really is top class. Tip - If arriving by train don't try and walk as it's a severe hill to hotel.

A little gem where you would not expect it.

We had an overnight stay on 11th March to meet up with friends. On arrival the bar area was informal, warm and welcoming. We stayed in a double room overlooking the front of the property. The room was inkeeping with the property with a lovely coay feel. The bed was comfy and we slept very well. The bathroom was lovely and clean with complimentary toiletries and fluffy white towels, although the shower may need an update even so it gave plenty of high pressure water and it was hot! Our friends had booked a table so we got to experience all the amenities the Black Horse had to offer. We were the only party dining, everyone else had cancelled due to the poor weather conditions. We had a beautiful meal with plenty of good wine, our waitress was lovely and nothing was a problem, especially as we had several bottles of rapidly evaporating wine!! After our meal we spent a couple of hours in the bar by the fire and not once did the landlord or his staff make us feel like they wanted us to leave. This morning we had a full english breakfast which was hot and delicious, another bonus for me was small chopped mushrooms rather than a portobello(theres something about a whole massive mushroom sitting on my plate that really puts me off). Its safe to say we had excellent company in our friends but I think the cosy atmosphere of the Black Horse on a cold winter night made it all the more special. We will definitely be staying again.
