The breakfast was superb but i would have liked fried bread with it as well

We have stayed in other places locally and driven through West Tanfield many a time. Decided to give it a go this time and WOW what a lovely place. OK so the sunshine helped and sitting on the lawn by the river is idyllic. The location is perfect for us. Hotel staff couldn't have been more accommodating and pleasant even though they were VERY busy with the weather being so good. Room was small but very comfortable and well appointed. Food was 100% excellent. Breakfast (included) was top notch too. We cannot rate this any higher. We had a lovely weekend, thanks to everyone at the Bull Inn.

Good breakfast,plenty of parking. Quick wifi connection.

Wonderful view of the River Ure, very quaint, old-fashioned looking inn, spacious bathroom; almost all of the staff were extremely pleasant and very helpful. We were able to get breakfast quite early on the morning we left, which we appreciated very much. Also the breakfast was delicious, served hot and quickly. Very good coffee.

The atmosphere was excellent the staff friendly and the location is great

Fantastic location. Traditional pub, with good atmosphere and great food.

An excellent traditional pub experience. Great beer selection. Good pub grub.

This is the second time we have stayed here and it was just as good as the first. The staff and food are good and they are very dog friendly. Just over the river is a lovely dog walk along the river and the fields. Comfy charming room and the biscuits are smashing :-)

Quality of stay was far better than ripon spa hotel we were referred to by Wetherspoon unicorn hotel I am so glad to check on tripadvisor reviews Definitely worth the money and research to find lovely place to say I loved the atmosphere in the pub

The location was great, the food was excellent and the stars were very friendly and welcoming. They made a fuss of our dog too and gave him lots of treats. The room was cosy and we couldn’t have asked for more. The breakfast cooked by Pat was better than you get anywhere else and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Will be coming back again.

The Bull in sits on the bank of the River Ure in the traditional Yorkshire village of West Tanfield, right next to the picturesque 18th century bridge which was sketched by JMW Turner in 1816. The village is 6 miles north of Ripon and is only 1.6 miles north of Lightwater Valley Theme Park and a few miles from historic Fountains Abbey. There are many interesting walks through the rich farming country which surrounds the village at the start of Wensleydale. The Bull Inn is a traditional public house serving top notch cask conditional ales, imported lagers and wines from all over the world. The dining area is connected to the cosy bar area and offers locally sourced and freshly cooked meals. It is as popular with local customers just calling for a drink as it is with tourists searching for authentic Yorkshire and a warm welcome. In fine weather, the riverside garden with its terraces and the decked area under the willow tree, is a magnet for everyone. Full meals are served there and locally made ice cream and good quality coffee, cakes and scones are available from the garden shack. Children are welcome there is a special kids’ menu on offer.
