The Black Bull

Dirty... Tired, old... For the price not good enough!

the staff were very helpful and friendly

The place is great value

Nothing really. The staff were so helpful

The location to our evening event was good, the staff were friendly and the breakfast was well cooked although it was very large.

The beds were too soft, and small singles [room was a twin]. The room door didn't lock, and the accommodation was generally a little run down.

Very friendly staff Comfortable room

Decoration due in room.

Very helpful staff. Good free wifi. Good breakfast. Good beer. Good Chinese restaurant nearby.

Entering through a busy pub as I was not aware of the side entrance tpo the accomodation.

only 5 min walk to town ctr, well cooked large english breakfast,drinks in bar reasonably priced, warm rooms with tv staff in bar area friendly and make you welcome

rooms could do with a facelift, but staff do well to make rooms comfy as possible.

The Staff were very friendly and there was a nice atmosphere in the bar. The food was very good. The bed was very comfortable. Ane xtra heater had been supplied due to the extreme cold weather, which was very thoughtful. It was good value for money and the location was excellent being only two minutes from the A14.

The room was small and in need of redecoration and the ensuit bathroom was very small but adequate.

carp park , it was the first step away from this fithy bed and breakfast

Fithy rooms, noisy room above bar , lack of breakfast, lack of reciept asked for 4 times, lack of manners from staff, general lack of interest

The breakfast was excellent and the staff friendly

Under our window was where the smokers stood. This was smell and noisy. Late into the evening there was a domestic outside with women swearing and shouting. The room was tired.with a few places where paper was peeling. The shower itself was ok except the plug was blocked. When we cleared it the handful of gunk and hair was disgusting.

Friendly warm atmosphere-cosy lounge, nice food good breakfast, reasonably priced, nothing was to much trouble for the staff we were made very welcome.

Bedroom and wash rooms need some tlc, and could be cleaner. A good lick of paint needed, bedding curtains and bedroom furnishings need renewing.

There was no hot water in the morming

Absolutely nothing

Everything, It was filthy, rundown, neglected. It seems the hotel is only used by the homeless and contractors. Disgusting

food good

decor and cleanliness

Ambience and the service

small en-suit, breakfast was not very good

The Staff were very welcoming and nothing was to much trouble for them.Breakfast was very good and a great start to the day.

The rooms are getting a bit dated but were clean and tidy.

Friendly staff, basic accommodation at a good price.

The staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was fine. The bed was clean. The en-suite shower and basin were clean, however though toilet was clean, the seat was loose.

On arrival, we found that our room had been given to someone else! The replacement room we were given was tiny. No chairs, only place to sit was the bed. Condition of bedroom was bad, rotting window frame, furnishings scruffy especially tv stand (a piece of rough plywood). There were no facilities to hang clothes except a double hook on the back of the door, one prong of which was broken off, and only two coat hangers, one of which was unsuitable. As we were going to a funeral the next day, we wanted to be able to hang up our clothes! We did ask a member of staff for a few extra coat hangers, but they were not forthcoming. The reading light on one side of the bed had no bulb. We also asked for a bulb for this light but we didn't get one. While bed itself was clean, there was thick dust on the skirting boards and dado in the en suite (which was otherwise acceptably clean). The carpet had obviously not been vacuumed, and when I pulled open one of the bedside table drawers, there was a pair of dirty children's socks in it!

This is a pub with some rooms upstairs so good if you want a pub evening with a short trip to bed. The price I paid was unbeatable and included a full breakfast.

The room was very dated and in need of some TLC. the window would not close properly leaving the room a bit cold in october. it was also not very clean and the bed was old and lumpy.

Lively family atmosphere. The guy who runs it is lovely, very friendly and keen to provide anything I needed. An old historical building with lots of character. Dinner was lovely.

There is noise from the bar which I expected but was woken by drunken shouting conversation either downstairs or outside in the middle of the night which went on for some time.

It had an absolutely marvelous Breakfast Bedroom was 1950s style and quaint It was budget accommodation

The loudness of people frequenting the bar. A running battle between a girl and a guy at 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning

It was not clean, the room was shabby at best with damp and peeling wallpaper. The douvet cover was stained which didn't give a good initial impression. There were cobwebs, the floor was in need of a hoover, the toilet seat was broken. The smell when we first walked in the pup was of stale (not treated or cleaned) beer as if it had been spilled and not cleaned properly. The sausages for breakfast the next morning were obviously yesterdays but quickly heated up! needless to say we won't be staying there again and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

good price and nice staff

friendly staff who were helpful,excellent breakfast, nice location.
