The Black Horse Inn

We stayed for 5 nights in the pub’s one bedroom apartment (The Cooks Quarters). It consists of a large living room area with flat screen TV and 2 person sofa. Up 2 steps to a well equipped kitchen and then a further flight of stairs to the bedroom with en-suite toilet, bath and shower over the bath with a rainforest head and smaller shower head. Everything was immaculately clean with a useful welcome hamper of bread, milk, cookies, crisps, butter and marmite. The apartment is dog friendly. Sue and Alan are wonderfully friendly and helpful hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. The pub has a small front bar and larger back bar with a good choice of beer, gins, rums etc. The Yapas (Yorkshire tapas) is good quality and includes cheese and cold meats and high quality tinned fish along with hot food from midday to 9pm every day. Oh and they also have the best ever (highly addictive) warm pork scratchings! The pub is in a great location in the heart of the old centre minutes from the steps to the Abbey ruins and close to all the shops, cafes and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. C&L
