Will Larter left this review about The Black Bull

A good-looking village pub which has turned itself into a hotel. It's very smart, with prices to match. There's no sort of pub atmosphere, and I imagine local drinkers would be likely to frequent the Grey Bull rather than its Black neighbour, but it wasn't open in the afternoon. Although there are a couple of hand pumps on the bar counter-cum-reception desk, only one had a pump clip showing, the other being hidden behind a leaflet or menu of some sort when I approached. Service was friendly and the beer in good nick, but at £2.20 for a half, I'll not be back any time soon.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Black Bull

Behind the attractive terraced stone facade, one finds a 'L'-shaped and partially modernised bar with sports TVs and a pool table. Separate lounge behind closed glass doors. Tidy beer garden to rear. One of the two handpumps was working, offering Old Speckled Hen (£3.50). Overall, a slight disappointment, but it was busy enough with regulars.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Black Bull Hotel

Disappointed not to find any real ales served here and such an inviting looking place. Very modern interior and a few of the locals complained that they ruined the traditional pub and also taking out the open fires which they enjoyed on a winters eve.
