The Black Bull

The photo gallery does not do justice to the restaurant - its not soulless despite how it looks in the photos. The food was very good and the staff were excellent - we ate at the restaurant on two nights after our first meal was so good that we decided to eat there the second night of our stay rather than bothering to drive somewhere else or find a taxi - both meals were very good value. Meat provided by a local butcher including the steaks are excellent and the portion sizes more than ample. For the size of the restaurant its a very good offering of options. Excellent friendly service from the staff in the restaurant and the bar and the locals in the bar gave us a friendly welcome as well. The breakfasts are cooked to order - again good quality produce used and well presented with a friendly greeting. Rooms might be a bit on the small side but they are clean, warm and great showers - for the price paid the quality is hard to beat and included the breakfast. When we had been out all day visiting attractions in the area it was all that was needed. Allow yourself to get past the austere looking exterior and you'll find this hotel is a little gem working hard and succeeding in providing top quality food and reasonable accommodation with a warm welcome and a smile on their faces.
