Booking a room in a dorm is always a risk, but I was fortunate to be the only one in the room so could make myself very much at home. It's a beautiful unique place with lots of character. The ensuite shower room was a big surprise - modern, clean and far better than you can sometimes get in a regular B&B!
I only wish I could have stayed a bit longer to make the most of the facilities and the local area. It would also be fun to come in a group.
I did not meet Denise but all the communication both online and on arrival (plus instructions in the hostel) was easy to follow and I felt safe as a solo female traveller.

Idyllic spot. The pub is also a wonderful mini motor museum so there's lots to see and look at. Fabulous walking on the doorstep. A friendly welcome and nice evening meal. Proper pub grub. Our room was a little tired and dated but spotlessly clean. Thank you 😊

Walks and cycle rides in every direction (roads not too frightening); both sides of Mallerstang worth walking as well as the valley (Garsdale rail station at far end); near Pennine Bridleway, on C2C I think; historic with the viaducts, Settle and Carlisle Railway

Didn't really stay long enough to explore Kirkby Stephen,...
Didn't really stay long enough to explore Kirkby Stephen, just two days to do two hill walks, but it seems to have a lot of potential for me to return and explore its history etc. Disappointed that information at bus stop was poor - one timetable was too high to see, and the route of another service wasn't obvious to the visitor. Also, some public footpaths in the surrounding countryside were very difficult to follow because of poor signage - some is very old and confusing.

Kirkby Stephen is a great location to base a walking holiday, being surrounded by moors and valleys to explore. There's also a preserved railway to visit too. There's also a wide selection of of cafes, restaurants and pubs serving good quality food with friendly service.
We booked a last minute two night stay at The Black Bull and SO glad we chose this place. Location is perfect on the Cumbria/North Yorkshire border with breathtaking scenery right from the doorstep.
The pub has an excellent reputation for great food and rightly so. We had breakfast and dinner here both days and enjoy every mouthful.
Staff are friendly and accommodating - especially Rachel who made us feel so welcome! Matthew also deserves a mention- a young man who knows how to put guests at their ease.
A most enjoyable stay.
The warmest of welcomes from the owner set the scene for a wonderful stay in this great place. The property is full of character and set right in the middle of the little town.
The room was spotless, roomy and the bed was very comfortable.
Breakfast was delicious and freshly made having ordered it the evening before.
Great hosts who seemed genuinely interested, chatty and enjoying what they do which makes all the difference.
Highly recommend this wonderful B&B if you are looking to stay in Kirkby Stephen.
Contemporary, quirky hotel in the centre of Kirkby Stephen. Couldn't fault any aspect of the hotel, food, accommodation and service. Will visit again.
Generously sized single room. Well appointed and quiet overnight.
I had an exceptional steak and ale pie in the evening. The breakfast was perfectly prepared.
Nice room (with a fan) and view over market sq. The lady who checked us in I think her name was Jules deserves a pay rise…she has all the customer service skills required to encourage return visit. The young lady at breakfast was also nice.I would recommend the Pennine hotel and would rebook.
lovely little cottage right in the centre of Kirkby Stephen. handy for shops and restaurants.
we travelled to the Lake District from this location to.
had everything you needed really comfortable bed. just perfect.
The staff were really friendly and very helpful. The room was warm and comfortable and spotlessly clean. There was an easy route in and out of the hotel when the pub was shut and the food menu was fabulous.
Coffee in room. A good breakfast! Nice to have the feel of a character hotel instead of a multinational chain. Perfect location for enjoying Kirkby Stephen and surrounding area.
Rural but not remote easy to locate 4miles from Kirkby Stephen
Welcoming and relaxing host could not do enough for you.
