My family and I booked rooms at the Blackhorse Inn this weekend as we were attending a wedding in the area. We had a pleasant stay at the Inn. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We had breakfast which was very nice, with a varied choice. Would recommend the Blackhorse Inn.

Fantastic country pub
This is an excellent pub. The service was exceptional, the food was very good and the ambience and atmosphere fantastic. This is a characterful old building with lots of books and crannies. Good beer too. The accommodation is good - a little like motel accommodation at the back of the pub in separate purpose-built buildings. It was comfortable and suited our needs well. Would definitely return.

The Black Horse Inn is a real find. An absolute gem. What a well oiled machine this hotel is. Linked to the pub, with amazing staff and food. We literally couldn’t fault one thing about the room, service, dinner or breakfast. We will be back!

Gorgeous traditional pub with cosy chalets
Gorgeous traditional pub with authentic touches. Excellent room, lovely stuff and very dog friendly. We stayed just for one night, on our way to channel crossing. Great rural location, but only a short distance from main routes. A real gem! We will be back soon.

This was a lovely base for us whilst visiting friends our only niggle was the service with food in the pub as we were forgotten at breakfast for so long we gave up waiting. They were very apologetic but was a sad end to an otherwise lovely stay.

Really friendly comfortable place to stay. Super room for a family, great as a place to stop on the way to the eurotunnel as an overnight stop.
