Fantastic Food Experience

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at Black Bull. The food was outstanding! I had the chicken on the first night and the fish and chips the next. The highlight was definitely the sticky toffee pudding, which was the best I've ever had. Highly recommend!

Comfortable Room

I was really impressed by the bedroom I stayed in. It was beautifully decorated, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The bathroom featured a large shower that was perfect after a long day. It felt like a cozy, homey retreat.
