“Stayed for my sons wedding . Events organiser Michelle was fantastic and all staff were really cheerful , polite and helpful. Lovely location on the picturesque pilgrims way. Wonderful food , we had a delicious meal at the wedding , a hog roast in the evening and a full English breakfast the next morning , all great. Rooms are outside main building with ample parking. Ours had its own parking outside. Spotlessly clean and spacious .”

“I booked for my partner's birthday as a surprise, we were both very impressed with the surroundings and the accommodation which were spotless and well maintained. The room itself was modern and cosy and again spotlessly clean. Our evening meal was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Black Horse.”
