One night stay asked on arrival what time I wanted breakfast and was told anytime after 7.30 would be available . So I went for 8.am went down for breakfast at 7.55 and there was no one there place was all locked up. Butcher delivery man tuned up went round to kitchen and came back saying no one in place kitchen has not been opened. So packed my van to leave. While packing, front door of pub / restaurant opened it was now 8.20am with chef coming out saying we were told breakfast was for 8.15. Rubbish service rubbish comunication

Great pub,
Fabulous inside and good food. Great service and rooms are to a good standard. Prices a touch high, but I’ve stayed in much worse and paid much more. Very attentive crew, who go out of their way to oblige. I would definitely stay again. Overall, good to very good. Worth making the effort to visit and stay. 8/10

Disappointing
The room hadn't been cleaned properly before arrival as the floor was dirty and hair everywhere, even in the bed! The restaurant was closed for the evening and although we paid for breakfast in the booking, nothing was provided as the pub was still closed. The pub, rooms and location were fine but just let down by minor details that could have been easily rectified.

Great food, good accommodation
Pleasant stay at the Black Bull, comfortable accommodation in detached courtyard with reasonable facilities (TV, Coffee/Tea/Stand Up Shower/Bath, Hanging and charge points). Food (Dinner & Breakfast) was excellent and hospitality by Alex was excellent. Very quiet village with limited services but perfect for some R&R or Stansted stopover.
