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.

Away for work
Accommodation was seperate from pub. Nice greeting from staff on arrival, comfortable room with good size ensuite. Easy chairs to sit in within room. TV was small. Wifi not great and phone signal poor. Free parking at venue. Food at pub was okay, service was slow.
