Stay for 4 nights March 2025. Rooms and bed comfortable. The shower was great. Had a power cut in village when there but breakfast staff managed to still provide a cooked breakfast. Good portions of food which set us up for a day of exploring. Menu is not extensive but the food is really nice. Staff friendly. Enjoyed our stay

What a great place to stay!

We loved this stop on our trip, the Inn is very nicely decorated throughout with a cosy bar, great seating areas inside & out and the rooms are really great. The food in the restaurant offers an excellent choice and the portions are a really good size, and extremely tasty, and the breakfast has such a great choose. Staff are all very friendly and helpful so we would go back in a heartbeat, highly recommend.

Perfect pub

The Black Bull is just the type of pub you would like to find at the end of a summer's day. Relaxed decor, delicious food and helpful staff

September away days

Very comfortable stay at Black Bull - ideal location for visiting around the area, Bamburgh , Lindisfarne, Seahouses - a lovely few days, good food and friendly helpful staff - thank you
Brenda, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All aspects of the Black Bull from hotel itself to food, staff and location were brilliant. The only problem was you cannot check in before 4pm. We arrived at 3.40pm and were not allowed even into the building. We sat in the car park. Not the best welcome. Maybe an overzealous member of staff abiding by the booking in time, but thankfully following that episode, everything else was magnificent.

A fab 3 day getaway.

This was our first trip to Northumberland and we could not have chosen a better place to stay. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was very comfortable, the decor was calming and suited the room. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We ate twice in the restaurant during our three nights at the Black Bull. The food was fantastic. Good sized portions, well cooked with great flavour. The Game Goujons were very tasty as were the burgers we had in the first night. The next time we ate there we had the stone bass and the pie of the week. All was yummy, and the drinks were great too. Breakfast was included and the choice was lovely. The black bull breakfast was a winner all around. The Black Bull was a great base to explore the local area, with easy access to Holy Island and other historical sites. We would recommend a stay here and will be back.

Quiet location but only 20 mins to Berwick upon Tweed with Holy Island, Bamburgh and Alnwick within easy reach. Bedroom was huge with a comfy bed. Staff were pleasant. Good choice for breakfast and their evening meals were excellent. Restaurant gets very busy so its advisable to book a table.
